DIIE'S Miniature Bullterrier


 



'DIXIE'S' is my Kennel - name, because I love this part of the country.

I've seen Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina and Mississippi
several times - the more I go there, the more I feel at home.

I lovethe landscapes, the people, the hospitality,
the history and the present.

Some words about this flag, that I love also:

When I was in Dixie first time, I spent the night at a hotel in Jackson/MS. After dinner I went to the hotel-bar; there I met three coloured women.
We spent the evening together singing gospels and - because I asked for it - at last 'Dixie'. All the time I had a sticker on my jacket,
showing the 'battleflag'.
When the evening was over and I went to go to bed, I was informed by the barkeeper, that this flag in the South means a sign for racism.
For me this was totally new, I never had heard this before.
This flag is one of a lot of used flags in the War between the States.
Originally only the flag of the marine, it later
became the sign for the whole South.

For me this flag NEVER was a sign for racism and it NEVER WILL BE.
For me this flag represents freedom - 
and the right to choose your own way to go in life.
It means to me a sign against opression from 'above' also.
All these rights are fixed in the American Constitution -
an other reason, why I love this land so much.

No more words...enjoy some of my personal impressions of DIXIE

Old times there
are not forgotten...
The South
has raised again...

Home is where the heart is

I'm (not always) in the heart of Dixie -
but Dixie's in the heart of me...
(close to) Alabama/My heart's in Alabama
