Although the details are somewhat murky, Lutteur was boarded at Belco Farm by his original French owner traveling on business in the United States. At some point, ownership was transfered to Bowles and Jacobsohn; and Lutteur became a very import stud dog in their breeding program. (It is not clear if breeding took place prior to ownership transfer.)

At any rate, this was a stroke of enormous good fortune for the du Clos des Cerberes program.
