|
Awaiting an official debut... |
|
...So here he is. Time has arrived for our new boy from far north to be introduced to all our friends. Carrier of some old Nichi influences thanks to his mother-line comprising some important scandinavian prefixes, has in his father' side many interesting carachteristics that are tipically connected with the "modern" mini look, becouse of the introduction of american and canadian blood through russian and spanish reproductors. Hildebert's Victor
Vasarely
lives with us since last may and is fascinating us with his amazing and
lovely personality. He will be present at the 2013 European Show in Switzerland: let us keep our fingers crossed for a great debut!

Our new young boy Victor is now six months old! |

Fundamental evolution after ten years! |
|
The imagine of our Kennel has been in charge for ten years,
from 2003 till today, to a couple of our dogs, Ch. Nichi Boston and
Ch Pamelot's Noble Antics, who have been loved so much, and who
represented so well the ideal look of their breeds.
By the way, ... our first uncropped Schnauzer dates back to
1988, and ALL our homebred Griffons were kept uncropped and undocked. Our
last cropped Schnauzer is a male born in 2003, four years in advance before
ban has been adopted in Italy. We thank Jose', author of the photographs used to realize our new Logo! |

On the way to achieve a great title more........ |
|
Italy is one of the few countries in which is highly appreciated the selection job breeders make with their bloodlines, and a "Reproduction Champion" title is available for those parents who generated excellent offsprings. We already wrote about the high quality carachteristics we found on our multich. Nichi Guy Laroche babies: all his sons do have a great anatomy, correct bites (6+6 incisive teeth), never a problem with testicles on males, super temperaments. To be able to get all the needed results, at least six sons from at least two different partners who will receive an excellent note on shows, we decided to plan two more litters this year, and again the results were astonishing!! - NICHI GU GU SETTETE, - NICHI GET UP N' BOOGIE,
- NICHI GRANGRIF URKA URKA, female are the Griffons we think will help us in reaching that very important title for their father. Born on the eighth day of the eighth
months of 2012 and pictured here aged..... eight weeks!!! Jose' is the author of our pictures! Thanks dear friend....... |

Family portraits..... |
|
Their "almost human" face is really something special.
Griffs from the best lines have their
dark colored beard when aged less than threee months.
The dark coat you can see on their bodies is mainly constituted by their first puppy coat. They are correctly stripped for the first time at the age of two months, and when aged about four months they have a rich red wire coat
Again thanks to Flo and Jose' for their help for our pictures! |

chosen on the next days) are out our beloved Multich NICHI GUY LAROCHE

possible care, but most of all, |

Well..... this time I can't decide! |

To properly illustrate the anatomical properties of a dog sometimes a picture is more effective than 100 words........
A billion of thanks to Floretta, for
taking care so perfectly of our boy, and to Jose' for his support to Flo,
and for his always adorable pictures! |

It has always been a special politic,

number of puppies produced to be sold, but only a couple of litters each
year, mainly programmed to obtain our future ambassadors and our next years
breeding stocks.

More confirmations about the excellent quality of Ch. NICHI GUY LAROCHE reproduction. "Gugu" is the sire we decided to use along this 2012. We are very happy to have proved how some of his important carachteristics are transmitted to his offsprings on a regular basis. Free from ocular diseases and patella luxation, he produced so far healthy puppies, very well built, with excellent coat and wonderful temperament. All his babies have all incisive teeth (6/6) well placed, all his sons are exempt from reproduction system anomalies. We are waiting with trepidation his next litter due by the end of july 2012..... |

|
Who? How? Where? When? Why? |
|
We often receive request of deepening some of the Griffon Bruxellois carachteristics, a breed that since twentyfive years we love and we adopted. Some of the information available on internet are incomplete, some web pages do report old official standards, and very often some very important qualities of their breeds are unknown. In a short time, in their section you will be able to find a relation about the breed origin, about their temperament, about some of their peculiarities.
