BREEDING PROJECT
What count for me is to select dogs that are typical, healthy physically and mentally.
All my dogs are officially checked for the genetic diseases typical of these breeds and I pay great attention to growing up the puppies as natural as possible.
In our house there are no cages and we only kept the dogs separate during the periods of heat (which fortunately tend to come at the same time) to avoid unwanted matings.
All of our dogs big and small, live in pack with the cats and the rest of the family. Of course from time to time there is some trouble, sometime even violent, but the problems are always resolved with the restoration of the balance of the pack, that often we humans fail to understand.

I do not have the time and am not very fond of dogs exhibitions and prefer the special breed meetings.
Nevertheless bring my dogs, at least twice, in national and international exhibitions for a trial which hopefully qualify them at least very good; Clivia got a CAC straight away.
They are often penalized because they are not properly groomed or they do not know how to walk into the ring, but this is my fault: I prefer not to stress my dogs which live happily around the house.

Occasionally and with great attention to genealogy, we targeted a mating to get puppies which should become good dogs: typical, healthy and with a balanced character
We knows very well that from two champions we cannot have only champions, but genetic is not an opinion even if it is very difficult to use it well.
The environment where the dogs live contributes at least 50% at the growth of a good specimen.
To be good dog lover is not enough to love the dogs with the hearth: a good lover loves with the hearth and with the brain. It is a must to read, to update oneself and to try to learn as much as possible to improve our wonderful breeds.
