17-12-2011We have had a fantastic week in Italy, together with our friends. We took four mature dogs with us, Miuccia Prada, Mia Carmen, Mariotto and Coccinella and participated in several field trails, their results where more then great. All the time and effort we have put in our dog training where rewarded in again, excellent field trail qualifications! During our stay in Italy we of course entered an International show with our dogs and got excellent results too. We have publish a report of this trip on our web page. I also have been very busy to update the result page, the Champions page and the photo pages. If you want to follow our kennel news every day, then follow also the Ala D'Oro BLOG

14-11-2011We where really busy working with the dogs last weeks. Especially for our young dog Mia Carmen and her mother "Mot" there was plenty of work. But even Laura and Gucci went with Jaap in the fields. And if that was not enough , end of October we have been in Denmark to do some training with seven children of our Miuccia Prada "Mot". We have put the photo's on the Internet today. In Denmark we saw very promising work from the dogs, it turned out to be a great trip with very nice company. We have decided to have a litter with our female Mia Carmen in spring / begin summer 2012, we have found an excellent male from Italy. In the past weeks we have had the first visitors. Several suitable future puppy owners came by to meet in person and see our dogs. Time flies, so before you know the puppies are already born.

18-10-2011The whole weekend we were busy with the dogs. Saturday, Jaap went along with Stephanie and her hunting companions to open the hunting season. Mother Miuccia Prada "Mot" and her son Mariotto Mauro were with them and presented great work. It resulted in a beautiful game tableau at the end of the day. Meanwhile Sebastiana "Bass" and I went to visit Fulgenzio di Ala D'Oro, "Fabio" and his dear family. Fabio who live almost in the woods took us for a stroll. Sunday we went to training all together. This time Mose, Bram, Daniel and Bass got lessons in retrieving, pointing and swimming. Of course we also have a photo report from that also. After working we got a great meal at Debby and Michel's house. Visit the update photo page, this last weeks we have put many new pictures on the Internet. More news, follow also our Ala D'Oro BLOG!

If you want to come just send us an e-mail or telephone call. Last weeks we received a lot of photos send by Ala D'Oro Bracchi owners. This made that we have picked up the camera and shoot our puppies too. All these newest pictures can be seen on the photo-page update photo. End of this year, Mia Carmen di Ala D'Oro will be mated by a beautiful and well-working Italian male.

For those who have failed the excam, keep courage and...practice makes perfect ;-), see picture on the right! Other news; Last weekend it was all about the dog shows. We are happy with our results. Especially with the result from the judgement from the Bracco specialist Dr. Manfroni. He gave our females the Championship points (CAC&RCAC).

22-05-2011 Miuccia Prada, our "Mot" will deliver her puppies in one and half week from now. And time fly. We are so ready, let the puppies come! Last week I went up and down with my Mom to Denmark. This time we stayed with Lisbeth. Because we were there we had the change to visit a future puppy buyer. Our stay in Denmark was again nice, we had much fun. At home all goes well. Mia's holiday is over, coming weeks she will go with us into the fields! On photo you see Mariotto di Ala D'Oro "Mauro". Thanks Stephanie for the beautiful picture. "Mauro" and "Steef" had a busy week in the field, now is the time to find and shoot the Fox and Crow. At our BLOG we have placed pictures from our pregnant "Mot", click here to follow it.

29-04-2011It has been really busy last week. Lisbeth from Denmark is here for a small holiday and we have planed all kind of nice things to do with and without dogs. Last Monday we went to the Paasshow in Leeuwarden, here Mia Carmen di Ala D'Oro got the Junior CAC and Res. CAC. Some of you already red the good news about the pregnancy of Miuccia Prada "Mot' on our BLOG. Now we are sure that she will have puppies because we did the ultra sound. Next week we will inform the people on our waiting list, so we can start making plans. Tomorrow it is Queens day in Holland, we will partying in the town, well….. of course after we have done some field trail training with Mia Carmen and her sister Coccinella di Ala D'Oro "Bianca". Also follow our BLOG

18-04-2011We just have to wait one week, then we know for sure. Next week we will make a ultra sound of Miuccia Prada "Mot" in order to ascertain whether she really is pregnant. Last week we both felt strongly that "Mot" is pregnant, but only an ultra sound result will give us and the people on the waiting list the guarantees that she is pregnant for sure. Well, should we get puppies, then we are looking for some enthusiastic owners who want to use their puppy in the field and at shows.
This weekend we had visitors, Belle (just two years old) and her grandparents went to Zuidermeer. Belle loves the Bracco Italiano, also she is not afraid of the camera, which of course yielded nice pictures.

03-04-2011We have visit a well build and wonderful working dog in Italy to breed with our Champion Miuccia Prada "Mot". Our visit to Italy was this time short but powerful. The plans to stay for the International field trail contest and the Spinone club match were cancelled by us at the last minute because of the warm weather. We are so excited, if all goes well we will have puppies at the end of May. In four weeks from now we do an ultra sound to see if "Mot" is prenant for sure. We have a number of people on our waiting list for this litter but we are still looking for serious owners who want to work and show with their dog. We have very high expectations of this future offspring. Also follow our BLOG, this weekend "Nola" a lovely daughter from "Mot" out of a previous litter got qualified during an AKC hunting test in the USA!

27-03-2011Next week we leave with Miuccia Prada to Italy, we have planed a wonderful combination. Of course first wait and see whether it seems to work, exciting! Last month, we have upgraded Mia's obedience skills. Not that we had something to complain about our Mia, but how obedient the dog how easier to correct the dog in the field. Recent months we have also visited a number of Ala D'Oro "puppies", among others we went to see Loreana, a full sister of Mia. It goes well with her, just like Mia, Loreana learns to be the all-round hunting dog. She does really well. The new Dutch Bracco and Spinone Italiano Club, named, Vereniging Italiaanse Staande Jachthonden (VISJ) is organizing on September 3, 2011 their first club match. We would appreciate it to see as many Ala D'Oro's entry's as possible. Soon more information about the club match!

27-02-2011Last week we experienced the third birthday of Miuccia Prada and Andor children. Congratulations to all. Well time fly. We are very busy with our garden, the dogs, the house and our work. We have started to realize our plans for our next litter, soon we will inform the people about our plans. As promised I finished the report of our lovely day's in Italy and put it on Internet. From the SABI we got an invitation to visit an information weekend that the SABI organize. They asked us to inform as much foreign people as we can so soon you will find all the info about this day's on our web page. Also we have received a lot of new pictures from owners of our dogs! Thank you all, you know it is much appreciated!

11-02-2011Last week we were back in Italy. This time we reserved time to train with our dogs in company of good friends, we took part at a field trail, which was organized by Mauro Nerviani and we took the time to participate in a national dog show. As always we have enjoyed our stay. We have to thank Nadia and Salvatore for their great company. About our dogs, we are again very satisfied with the results of our dogs. We are specially very proud of our Mia Carmen di Ala D'Oro. In her first trail she walked the stars from the sky. Soon you will find a comprehensive report from our days on the webpage .

Ralph Minnitte from Nevada sent us pictures from Marcellina di Ala D'Oro "Sadie" and her daughter Minnite's Alena.
