BBPress, ‘passion for dogs and canine literature’, that says it all, really. With ‘small is beautiful’ as an extra addition, to give the complete picture.

BBPress was founded by Bas Bosch. His life is dictated by dogs and by the desire to work with pen and paper, which has led to a specialised publishing house with a list that distinguishes itself by its depth of knowledge and by its most beautiful appearance. It produces the kinds of dog book which are a rarity in the Netherlands (the country where BBPress is registered) and on the international market with much tougher competition BBPress productions (in English) are equally well received.

Quite a few BBPress publications are made at the request of Dutch breed clubs or even the Dutch Kennel Club. The greatest compliment to wish for in this respect is the assignment to produce the centenary book of a club. BBPress has made these kind of books for the Dutch club for Great Danes, Dachshunds and the Dutch Kennel Club (‘The Dutch Breeds’).

BBPress is able to publish these high quality dog books because the people who run the company are insiders on the dog scene.

Bas Bosch was for more than ten years editor-in-chief of ‘De Hondenwereld’ (the oldest and leading dog magazine in the Netherlands) and for the same period he contributed regularly to Dog World (the leading British dog paper). In addition to this, he has already been breeding and judging for more than twenty years and consequently he knows the dog people who matter.

BBPress partner Janneke Leunissen-Rooseboom is, like Bas, an experienced dog person as well as a professional copywriter and editor.

They have worked together in canine journalism and publishing for a long time already. They also share a keen interest in (small) livestock, rare breeds in particular. This is a field on which BBPress will also focus, in all modesty, but with the same kind of dedication.
