The kennel

I'd like to thank with particular gratitude two persons that supported me in this project, Mr. Gino Quarta, owner of a pet-shop in Lecce, great dog-lover, that several years ago presented me with a female Beagle called Shana, a little later I decided to breed her with a local male. So, in 1996 I had my first Beagle litter.

It was really exciting, even if I had already been attending national and international dog shows with another breed I have always loved for its particular beauty, even if unique for its temper, the Siberian Husky, encouraged by a dear friend of mine, the owner of the affix Artaiga's, who had aroused my passion for expos. It was just at the National Show Dog in Avellino in 1998 I took part with my Siberian Husky called Ice, I was very proud of, and I decided to bring a daughter of Shana, Principessa Kookai.

It was there I met the second person I owe much, that made me know and love Beagles, it was Mr. Scinti Roger, the owner of the Della Grande Quercia Kennel. He was a really wonderful person, since the first day we met he offered me very precious advice, and I owe my modest victories at Shows to him, too.
In reality, people breed Beagles or any other breed only for the love they feel for any dog. For them, you often have to renounce something. But in exchange, you receive also a lot of satisfactions!
It is difficult to explain what a victory in the ring can mean for a breeder... try to imagine it by yourselves!
