KUSA National Spinone Italiano 2018
Lucia joined our family in 2017 and soon left her mark, not only in the show ring, but also on the hunting fields. Typical Spinone construction and easy movement, breed characteristic expression, and temperament combined with natural hunting drive, makes her the first Spinone in South Africa to complete the SAVHDA Junior Versatile Hunting Dog test. She also obtained her KUSA Natural Ability certificate and qualified as a KUSA champion in March 2019, making her the second Spinone in the country to have breed show and hunting qualifications - second to her kennel mate, Umberto.
Umberto is the first Spinone in South Africa to have a breed championship and KUSA Natural Ability certification and in March 2019 he added Grand Champion to his list of achievements. His ‘human like' expression and eagerness to please makes him a joy in our home.
We are truly blessed to currently have the only Spinoni in the country that participate and achieve in both breed shows and field trial work. In addition, they have been health-tested clear for PRA and CA, with HD and ED screening.
For this we thank their breeders, Annette Wijnsouw and Sue Impey.
