Our Story
At the beginning of the 90's I happened to be at Renata Stacchini's house - "Montecchio della Val d'Era Kennel" - and so I had the chance to visit her kennel.
When I met Sidry, a marvellous Afghan Hound, for the first time I got completely carried away by the beauty and peculiarities of this breed. I was so enthusiast about her that a few days later Sidry was gifted to me as a birthday present.
The growing interest for this breed rewarded me with love, satisfaction and some victories at competitions.
I got more and more into the breed but unfortunately after four years Sidry died and it took me nearly almost a year to find the strength to begin it all again, with Rachele and Damy.
Since then my kennel has started to grow bigger and bigger and it has given to me great satisfaction with several dogs.
The Kennel
My kennel is located in a coutryside area, 12 km far from Bari, in the Southern Italy.
Completely sorrounded by the green country, my kennels have been built considering a series of things: size, spaces, functionality, exposure to the sun and wind, in order to work in the best conditions.
Every dog has a very big room covered by roof and linked to an outer passage. Every space is 19 m long and 2,5 m wide.
The kennels are linked to a 5000 m field where the dogs can run and play and show how agile they are. We often sit down in the garden and enjoy watching them.
In the kennels there are a grooming room and a whelping room, although the litters were always born in the house. The puppies move from home to the whelping space at the age of 20-25 days.
I am proud of the spaces I have planned and built for them... who are my life!
