April-5-2007I am back from Italy with 2 new Bracchi!!! Dixie & Apollo

UPDATED!!!!

We are very sad to announce the passing of Dino. He succumbed to kidney failure in early September '06.

Alba, Mari, Flora, Astor, Apollo and Dixie are Bracco Italiano pointers, a very old Italian upland game dog.They are popular in Europe, but are virtually unknown in the United States. We wanted to find and promote a breed of dog that has not been made popular in the U.S; statistics show that a breed's popularity here is often its downfall. After a 2-year quest, we found Jaap Muller and Tina Steffens, well-known Bracco breeders in the Netherlands. Their dogs are winning hunting trials and breed shows all over Europe, and the dogs are raised in Tina and Jaap's home, as are all the puppies. Dino, the chocolate/white male, was born the day before our wedding, in May 2000. When we told Tina and Jaap that we wanted to breed really good Braccos, they were so pleased that they went to Italy and selected Alba, the orange/white female, out of 7 litters.

The puppies arrived in the U.S. on July 5, 2000 and have been charming everyone since then. We got our 3rd Bracco, an orange and white female named Mari, from Tina and Jaap and she fits right in - as charming as the other two. We then kept Lovely Flora, a brown and white bitch from our November, 2002 litter. She is a wonderful combination of both Dino's and Alba's attitudes - she's pointing beautifully at age 1 1/2. Finally, in 2005 we obtained Astor, a white and orange male, from GianPaolo Poggio, a breeder in Italy, through the help of Tina and Jaap, who are his good friends. Astor adds an entirely new bloodline to the United States. Alba and Astor had Giana in October, 2006 and at the same time, we lost Dino. In April, 2007, Dan went to Italy and brought back Dixie and Apollo.

This breed has a marvelous temperament - the puppies are laid back, energetic, mellow, intelligent, connected and very cute!

Our intent is to breed good, healthy, well-rounded dogs and to make them available to selected individuals who also wish to promote the high standards of this breed, whether as breeders or as owners of a great pet.
