05-12-2017We had
to say good-bye to our great old friend Miuccia Prada di Ala
D'Oro "Motje" on the 2nd of November. We are thankful
that we could have her for so many years. She passed away
without any suffering. She has left us with so many great
and loving memory's witch we will never forget. We
are lucky to have her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
She will never be forgotten.
Leipzich Germany was the place were the World Dog Show was
held this year. Of course just like any other year we were
there, but this year only bring one dog, Sebastiana Bruna
di Ala D'Oro. The judge was not a breed specialist. I traveled
together with a friend who own a Hovawart. Since I had to
show on Thursday and my friend with her dog on Sunday we booked
an apartment in a ski recreation area, 1 1/2 hour drive from
Leipzich. The dogs enjoyed the great days we went on hiking
together. The result of the show was a little less excited,
Sebastiana was 2e excellent in working class with a RES. VDH-CAC
. Just home from Italy were we have join our good friends
to celebrate the Sinterklaas (Dutch version) and of course
to enter the Italian field trails with our dogs. The dogs
did great. Fine results with lovely qualifications for each
dog we have entered. We have found new inspiration to work
the dogs, and will take that home. We have made some pictures
in Italy, you can see them.

18-09-2017Lastweek, our kennel
visited the 2nd Global Bracco Italiano in Tuscany. The SABI
organized on Saturday a show in Arezzo and the Sunday a field
trail contest. On Thursday morning we, Guðbjörg and I (Tina)
drove to Milan to pick up my friend Salvatore and his work
of art for the art-stand he would setup on Saturday. Friday,
on our way to Arezzo we visited at the request of Salvatore
several stone fabrics near Volterra looking for high quality
Alabaster. An experience I will not soon forget. Saturday
morning we arived early in Arezzo. 149 Bracchi registered
for this show. Our girls were judged by Sonia Bellan. Emiliana
Brunella di Ala D'Oro got a 1e excellent in open class and
her sister Sebastiana Bruna di Ala D'Oro got a 3rd excellent
in the working class. Fine results which we are proud of.
Sunday the field trail contest. Guðbjörg was lucky she could
walk with the judge in order to follow the match. Our two
dogs were working beautifully on Partridge. Emiliana unfortunately
did not get points, but Sebastiana did, she was rewarded with
a 3rdplace. There were 66 dogs involved in the official DOC
field trail and only, 9 dogs were rewarded with a qualification,
including our Sebastiana. The judge told he was impressed
with the typical way of hunting and poiting of our dogs. And
in a group where the other dogs were trained with a braga
it was the best compliment of the day. Of course there are
photos. At the 11th September our Mariotto di Ala D'Oro died
at 11 years of age. We wish Steef and Arjan much strength
with this loss.

09-07-2017To our great sorrow,
our Mia Carmen di Ala D'Oro died on the 5th July. Mia had
a fast-growing cancer tumor that was not treatable. Mia became
only 7.5 years old. She was a sweet, very driven hunting dog.
In our Pack she had a good and strength band with all dogs,
but most still with her mother "Mot", that was four
legs on one belly. Our desire and belief that we would see
Mia grow old is unfortunately not come true. Not one day of
her life she has been sick and then this, she showed tremendous
strength to the end. Mia has achieved large numbers of outstanding
show and field work qualifications during her life. And we
take much pride on all of her performance. Mia was a dog you
could love as a owner very easily. At home she loved all people
and animals, outside she only had eye for us, nobody else
existed. Every day she gave us the impression that we were
super owners. Now we have to continue without our Mia and
that will not be easy. She leave a big hole in our heart.
Our plans to use a son of Mia in one of our following combinations
is now for sure. Through all the sadness around Mia we actually
did not find the time before to tell about our visit to "Falki"
in Iceland. Our vacation in Iceland was great, of course,
we have a photo page
created, you will see only a small selection of the photos
that we have created. It was so wonderful to once again just
to be able to cuddle "Falki". All our thanks goes
to Petur and Gigi!
03-06-2017 Time flies. Another
week then we will finally visit our sweet Falki in Iceland.
In april we were in America. We were visiting the Bracco Italiano
Sociaty America and Spinone Club Of America. Great fun to
meet new people and of course had cosy days with old acquaintances
and friends who live in America. It was a huge honor to be
the Judge at the Match at the BISA Nationals. And it was very
nice to visit Mia Amante di Ala D'Oro and her babies in Phoenix.
After the dog joy we had the time be turists. Of course there
is an America photo report. In May we traveled to Italy to
hunt with our dogs and compleet our spring training. This
time we bring the dogs Calabrone Aladoro, Fabrizio Bettino
di Ala D'Oro, Dama Bianca di Ala D'Oro and Sebastiana Bruna
di Ala D'Oro. Of course Salvatore and Nadia were there too.
Super cozy days, highlighted by a Raduno around Lago Maggiore
organized by the Italian Spinone Club. It was really nice
that we could participate in the friendly field match with
our Bracchi. Of course, we have photo's to show you. Now some
news of Edda da Dama di Ala D'Oro. Last month we received
her official HD FCI result; HDA. We are happy with it.
19-03-2017Yesterday we have asked
the owners of the dogs out of Dama Bianca di Ala D'Oro and
Sebastiana Bruna di Ala D'Oro to join us in a Da Dama and
da Bruna day. We rented an area in the South West of Holland,
so we would have the space and place to enjoy the day in.
We have to thank Piet for great tip and his cathering during
this day. We were very lucky because the weather predicted
we would have a lot of rain but fotunated we only saw water
at the end of the day when we were already planning to go
home. Jaap and I had a super nice day and we believe the dogs
enjoyed the day too. They had the change to retrieve, point,
track and PLAY together. The photo's are at our webpage. Then
other Ala D'Oro news, Mio Bombo "Swieber" di Ala
D'Oro entered the Crufts with his owners Piet en Monique Sangers.
He was placed reserve in Openclass. Well done "Swieber"
and Piet, our compliments! Are

02-01-2017Invited
at the TOP DOG of the YEAR Show 2016, Amersfoort
15 januari 2017 with Sebastiana Bruna di Ala D'Oro.
02-01-2017To our
great sorrow, we must let you know that our dear "Bram" Bramare,
Bice di Ala D'Oro has died of the consequences of a spleen
torsion. We have had a lot of dear comments by FB and email,
for which we like to thank everyone. I don't think I need
to explain that 2016 was a sad year for us personally. Fortunately
our kennel knew some pretty nice moments such as in February
2016, the birth of the puppies from "Duffy" Dama Bianca di
Ala D'Oro and "Bacio" Eduardo Fendi di Ala D'Oro. And in 2016
three dogs from our kennel obtain their Dutch Champion title
and one her Dutch Youth Champion Title. In August it was Sebastiana
Bruna di Ala D'Oro who took the title ClubWinner 2016 and
became BIS at the club match. We see 2017 ahead with confidence.
This year it will be all about traveling. America in the spring,
Iceland and Italy in summer and Scotland and Italy in the
autumn. For people who are waiting for puppies of our kennel,
I can say that they have to be patient until 2018. If you
don't have patience, then we have good news! In February 2017
the American owners of Mia Amante di Ala D'Oro expect puppies.
