06-05-2012After
a very happy, full and long life Salvatore
di Ala D'Oro has died yesterday. Salvatore
was born at 6 July 2001, from the combination Gabbana di Ala
D'Oro X Burt. We
wish Peter and Pam and of course their children much strenght
with the lost of their best friend.
05-05-2012Hello friends in Germany! We want to let you know
that next week we will be at the dogshow in
Dortmund

enter an International show for the first time. As you understand

experiences on this show.

15-04-2012Jaap and Stephanie are back from Italy, they have
been gone for a whole week! This time our three dogs Mia Carmen,
Balda and Miuccia Prada where selected to go to Italy. Mia
Carmen had an important appointment in Italy. She has successfully
been mated with "Caronte" a beautiful orange male.

here for more litter information>>> With a little
luck we will have in the middle of June lovely puppies from
this combination. There was enough time left to work the dogs
during this visit. Bald and Miuccia Prada showed good work.
Balda is a clone of our "Mot", that promise something
good.

30-03-2012We have
a great time in Italy. We have explored the area around the
house a little more and took many pictures of lovely places.
We also have good opportunities to train with our dogs, hunt
and to enter the field trails. The situation in the fields
is not easy at this moment. In some parts it is very dry in
others to wet. Our girls did wonderful, two field trails and
with maximum results. Four qualifications! Today another good
day so we will go out in the fields for some training with
Bramare Bice, Sebastiana Bruna and Emiliana Brunella. The
owner of Emiliana will also come with us. For Mia Carmen and
Miuccia Prada it is a fun day since they can search for the
birds the puppies are certainly going to flusch.
21-03-2012Last
weekend we had a visitor. Lisbeth was here in the Netherlands
to refuel and of course to train together with her dog and
Jaap. Lisbeth and Coccinella are starting to become real profs
at field work area. In Italy Lisbeth already has achieved
several field work qualifications with Coccinella. We now
recommend her to compete this season at the Danish field trails
competitions. To show how a Bracco Italiano has to move in
the fields, in trot and with due speed. Next week our friend
Klara comes to stay with us for a week. Klara then goes to
get started with one of our puppies, some obedience exercises
can not hurt Sebastiana! We have new pictures posted on the
page, curious? go to update
photo.
17-02-2012Yesterday
evening, with tremendous sadness we had to decide unexpectedly
to let go of our
dear Prima Donna "Pebles". Prima Donna "Pebles"
was born in our house in 1999 from the combination Bice X
Felice Anno Nuovo. Prima Donna Pebles has performed extremely
well during her life
in the hunting fields.
She was even the first bred dog (outside Italy) that was rewarded
with a qualification 1e Excellent during a SABI field trail
contest. Prima Donna
was the perfect practice hunting dog, until recently Jaap
took her with him when he went out hunting for ducks with
much enthusiasm. Pebles was a super sweet dog, always cheerful,
loving, very sweet to everybody and a great aunt and playmate
for the pups that are born with us. It goes without saying
that we are going to miss this dear friend very much.Visit

and the winter in the Netherlands finally has started. For
us it means that this is the excellent time to get the puppies
started with some tracking. One big advantage is that we can
do this kind of training very close to our home. Of course
we are also in exciting awaiting for the moment that our Mia
Carmen becomes in season, when time is there she will be covered
by a white orange very well- functioning and extremely typical
Bracco male. In our eyes a splendour mach that meets all our
demands. Our vision to avoid line breed combinations is well
appreciated in the Bracco World. So with again a total out
cross combination we got the opportunity to place some interesting
Bracco enthusiasts on our puppy waiting list. Visit our

January, we try to keep us to our good intentions. One of
the good intentions was that we would do even more cool stuff.
It works nice! In the weekend we train with our young dogs,
also yesterday. We went into the fields and had a wonderful
day. Our young dogs found time and time again very easily
the quails in the fields. This time all participants got homework,
this is the time to demand more obedience from our youngsters.
Of course we will work hard on that next week. Today I am
at home, actually, I would go for a walk with the Bracco Club
today, but this morning I figured out that it was high time
to update our Web page. There are adjustments on the following
pages, Update Photo,
Our Dogs and Ala
D'Oro Results. If you want to follow our kennel even more,

The New Year has begun and as it should be we look back with
you on all the good things of 2011. There were the great performance
of our young lady Mia Carmen begin 2011, during an Italian
field contest she did excellent, that proved to us that she
really ready for more contest's. Now we know hat Mia Carmen
lived up to the expectations, she has won several field qualifications,
all of excellent quality. The intention is there to breed
with Mia Carmen as soon she will be in season. We have will
travel to Italy with her for the mating. We have found a beautiful
(working) Italian male and followed him for a while. Of course
this year we will also visit show's and field tails in 2012
with Mia Carmen. Mia Carmen's mother Miuccia Prada, have seen
this past year many of her children and grandchildren glistening
in the show and at field trails. She herself is in also still
in top condition, in November 2011 she showed us all when
she was BOS and got the Winner title in Amsterdam. And in
2011 there were also a large number of excellent field trail
qualifications for Miuccia Prada. Our intentions for Miuccia
Prada in 2012 is to increase the beautiful hunting days with
her and of course we will visit now and then a show and field
trail. The year 2011 was the year of Mariotto, along with
Stephanie, he proved to be a top model on show and hunting
area. KNJV ´ s, multiple field trails qualifications and a
HGP diploma were beautiful rewards. Also in 2012 Mariotto
will be at the scene again. Although Laura Biagiotti did not
vist much field trails and shows last year, we think that
she has been the most discussed Ala d'Oro in the Dutch Bracco
scene. On the Championship club match of the Bracco Italiano
Club (VISJ) she was elected Best Bracco Italiano bitch by
Italian breed specialist, Mr Manfroni, in 2012 Laura Biagiotti
will be a gide for our now 7 months old puppies, so they become
the next generation Ala D'Oro hunting dogs. And with a little
luck, in March 2012 we will celebrate Laura's 10th anniversary.
The Bracco Italiano is no WIMP, our almost thirteen year old
Prima Donna has showed that to everybody. Prima Donna recovered
last year when she broke her acetabulum. Our opinion is that
in a healthy, happy pack of dogs it is good to have old dogs.
Our Prima Donna and Gucci have shown in 2011 that despite
their high age they still have a happy life in our Pack. They
are both invaluable, both we and the dogs enjoy daily from
the love that these oldies give us. So now we come to the
moment we talk the birth of Miuccia and Argo's puppies in
the summer of 2011. The puppies are doing all well. Of course
we have kept puppies from this litter ourselves. "Daan", "Bram"
and "Bas" have the pleasure to grow up in our Pac. "Mose"is
lucky to be with co-owners Michel and Debby. When it happen
what we are hoping for many of these puppies will do well
on the shows and field trail competitions in the future. In
2011 we where travelling a lot with the dogs. We were regularly
find abroad, Italy, Denmark, Germany and France were visited.
Our intention for 2012 is to especially keep this pattern
going. The year 2011 was crowded, our intention for 2012 is,
therefore, to slow down a little, especially at our job ;-)

We wish you a happy and healthy 2012!
