 March 2011 what a great springtime!

Our Brussels Griffon Nichi Guy Laroche, is, to day, the  most  winning Griffon on the italian show rings.

In two months he was awarded with eight CAC, and CACIB  certificates,, resulting always Best of Breed,  and is now waiting to be entered in the last necessary Specialty Show to achieve the Italian Champion Title.

Thanks to the united efforts of Nichi and Gugu' owner,  Luigi, Nichi Guy Laroche will be shown on the most important shows of Europe during the entire 2011.

Nichi Guy Laroche, Top Griffon!

 Hey, there's somebody special around...

We introduced you, about one year ago, an incredibly interesting griffon litter.

Well, not only the Brussels Griffon male Nichi Guy Laroche is an interesting boy!

His littermate, the red Brabançon Nichi Gangsta's Logo is the most winning dog in his breed with eight CAC and CACIB won to day, and was sevaral times selected among the best of his group.

We thank our friend Luigi for supporting the career of this gorgeous boy!

 Eternity, a pawprint in history

Sometimes, breeder's  enthusiastic descriptions of their dogs makes other people smile.

 But sometimes, you turn your head and suddenly in a tiny puppy you see the past, the present and the future of a breed.

Many things have changed in the Miniature Schnauzer aspect in the last years. Are we always sure that this was a step forward,  and not the almost total loss of what was so special in this breed? Why are we still calling them "mini" if they are as big as something inbetween Miniatures and Standards, why are we calling them blacks, or black and silver, or pepper and salt, when a unique genetic heritage as the pure schnauzer color is disappearing in dirty and misty tones?

Our Nichi Eternity, (32,5 centimeters at withers, 7 kilograms in weight, head 17 centimeters long, explosive temperament, correct wiry coat, with black and white stripes on every single hair), represents, in her entire being, not the past of the breed, but the correct evolution of what have to be considered the Miniature Schnauzer.

We thank our friend Yves Tonossi, worldwide known breeeder that under the name "de Bacara" produced some of the most important champions, for having decided to dedicate some of his time and experience to this very special girl!!!

It's not a happy occasion that leads me to write on this autumn night.

20/07/2005 Studies & shows

Italy, has become this year the first country with an university Degree devoted to the dogs. 

The study is dedicated to the dog's breeding, the dog's education, the dog's health, the dog's welfare: it is a full immersion in the canine world. 

And Nichi is one of the 260 accepted students . 

Passing 13 univesity examinations sustained in 9 months is not everibody's job, and the average vote is 28 on 30

That's the main reason for our temporary absence from show rings: 

I went back to school, I did it 230 kilometers far from home, at Pisa' Veterinary Faculty, and as you all know, If I do something I want to do it at my best. 

Moreover the Veterinary Faculty of Parma University, started this year with Nichi' help a research program on the movement of the dog:

in some months, the results of the biomechanics tests will also appear on this site. 

But Nichi's dogs have not disappeared from shows:

we congratulate, above all, Ranveig and Erik Vestnes: 

they are on the way to finish the Norwegian Championship with the Griff Nichi Green Eclipse!

Or as Nichi Vivien Leigh & Nichi Overall Blauklukku, that are spending wonderful times in Iceland at Larusson's home!

Nichi Green Eclipse "Cliff"

Nichi Vivien Leigh

.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 

The Veterinarian University in Pisa has planned the "Canine" Degree over a 3 years program. 

This study opportunity, and the Veterinarian Uiversity of Parma biomechanics searches, ask for all our energy and time:

We had to postpone almost all this year litters: it will probably happend again after our summer puppies, and our home became a "Vet' bookstore". 

For the above reasons, we decided to offer some of our most beautiful champions, for a restricted period, at interesting leasing or sale conditions.

Feel free to contact us if you think to be able to give all your love and care to one of Nichi' personal dogs. 

This announcement is reported only in the english section of this site, and is reserved to non italian breeders and exhibitors. 
This offer does not comprise 8 year-old or older dogs.
