30-11-2008Amsterdam Winner show. We had so much fun! It is also a compliment for us to see that from the seventeen bracchi that entered this International show, twelve have Ala D'Oro blood in their vanes. The judge, a breed specialist was very happy to see the typical head and toplines in our bred dogs. All this and the very typical movement of Miuccia Prada "Mot" made her decide to give her the Best of Breed. The results of our dogs are at the page.

Also some puppies will soon enter the show ring for the first time.

27-06-2008The first results of Ch. Miuccia Prada's X Ch. Adelchi's children where send to us. Official FCI A results for Violetta, Mariotto, Giacomo, Leonardo and Bartolomea. And soon we will have results of Minotti, Bambaia, Berenice and Peppino. In the past ten years we x-rayed all puppies that where born in our house, we use the information we get out of these test to develop our knowledge about this lovely breed and of course to improve the quality of our bloodlines. For some owners these excellent results mean that they can realize their own plans for a litter now. Our friends from Norway, Rigmor and Thomas who own Violetta di Ala D'Oro had planed a litter in early 2009. With the excellent results of her hips and elbows there is no reason to delay anymore. This planned litter promise to be something special. A good thing for the bracco interest from Great Britain; these puppies can be imported to the GB without the quarantine period, because Norway is a rabies' free country.

22-05-2008Last week we went to the vet with "Motje's" children (who live in Holland). They are old enough to make official x-ray to see if there is hip dysphasia. Ten years ago we started to x-ray all the puppies that are born in our kennel. We collect al result so we would have a representative impression of our bloodline. The first three year we went to a vet in Zeist but the last 7 years we go to a vet practice in Enkhuizen. This year they opened their new practice, it is beautiful, they have a lot of space, a brand new building and all kind of modern and new vet's equipment. Our puppy owners could take home the analysis of their own dog on CD. For us it was pleasant to see the owners and the dogs. We hope to receive the official result in a week or 3-4 from the Dutch Kennel Club.

19-05-2008We are waiting for some good news, if all go well we hope to have a pregnant bracco girl in Finland. When we have more news we will let you know.

We recieved lovely pictures from the puppies of Marcellina di Ala D'Oro "Sadie". The owners Ralph and Barrie (Minnittes kennel) are happy with their puppies. "Sadie", the daugther of Gabbana gave birth to six puppies two weeks ago. We of course follow up this litter! From a previous litter one of the lovely puppies have made it into a magazine of one of the important hunting association.

Again we want to thank everybody for their heartwarming e-mail's, telephone calls and even letters. After we put the sad news about Silvestro on Internet we where again overwhelmed with the sweet reactions.

02-05-2008After a very sad week we thought it was time to thank our dear friends and family for their comforting words, phonecalls and e-mail's. Last week we have lost our sweet boy Silvestro.
