Meet us

It began with love for one bulldog. It became the work of our whole family.

Yugos Star is the professional family kennel of Yuliia and Serhii Onupko in Boryspil. For more than a decade, our puppies have grown up at home before joining families across Ukraine, Europe and beyond.

The people behind Yugos Star

Two professional perspectives. One shared responsibility for every dog.

Yuliia Horbach, professional breeder and founder of Yugos Star

Professional English bulldog breeder

Yuliia Horbach

Yuliia founded Yugos Star and leads its breeding programme: studying pedigrees, selecting pairings, supporting pregnancies, raising puppies and introducing every youngster to their future family. She knows every dog beyond the paperwork, including their character, habits and the kind of home where they can thrive.

Serhii Onupko, a dog trainer with a background in service-dog training

Dog trainer and canine behaviour specialist

Serhii Onupko

Serhii began by training service dogs, where discipline, trust and an exact reading of behaviour matter every day. He later brought that experience into work with companion dogs. At Yugos Star he helps puppies meet the world with confidence and helps new owners build a clear, humane life with a bulldog.

Yuliia is responsible for the breeding programme and the puppies’ healthy start. Serhii focuses on behaviour, socialisation and clear guidance for families. Together they support every puppy from birth to their new home.

How it works

  1. 01

    We begin with a conversation

    We ask more than which puppy you want. We learn how you live and what an ordinary day will look like for your bulldog.

  2. 02

    We introduce the personality

    One puppy quietly watches; another already runs the room. We help you see beyond colour, understand the personality and imagine life together.

  3. 03

    We prepare without surprises

    Documents, veterinary preparation, first essentials and travel are clear before homecoming day.

  4. 04

    We do not disappear

    For us, the story does not end at the door. You can come back with questions about settling in and daily care.

We help families organise travel within Ukraine and internationally, planning documents, a safe route and every detail of the journey in advance.

What our work is built on

Open parentage

We name the parents, link to pedigrees and publish only confirmed health-test results.

Puppies raised at home

The puppies meet people, household sounds, different surfaces and a calm everyday rhythm.

Temperament before colour

We help a family see the puppy’s character and habits, and understand who will truly suit their home.

Support after homecoming

We remain available for questions about settling in, feeding, daily care and behaviour.

Preparing a puppy for home

  • Documents and information about the puppy’s parentage
  • Veterinary passport and a record of completed procedures
  • The puppy’s familiar feeding routine and a plan for any diet transition
  • A first-days guide covering folds, daily care and protection from heat
  • Serhii’s recommendations for settling in, routine and the first household rules
  • Direct contact with Yuliia after homecoming
