BREED NOTES FOR CIRNECO DELL'ETNA

At Birmingham National the Import judge was Mrs Ann Arch with an entry of 12 hounds and she found her Best Dog in Mrs Farleigh's Hadranensis Remo and her Best Import in Eccellento Amberrea owned by Greg and Jackie Brown. Amber is a UK bred Cirneco from the mating of Azzurra of Bresars to Are But Not's Excalibur at Anharbn imported from Norway. Amber was bred by Miss Navickaite. Many Congratulations and I hope you have many more wins.

Thank you to all the members who have replied to the AGM notification. We have a 98 percent reply via email which will have saved the club considerable funds on postage.

The young male is still available in Scotland and if anyone knows of a suitable new home for this little man, please contact Christine Campbell via the club website members list or you can email me direct for further information.

Hopefully a few more new imports will be arriving into the UK this summer to add to the growing genepool, details later. The first quarter Kennel Club registrations are six Cirnechi. The KC have reported a significant drop in registrations in general so it is nice to see the breed maintaining a viable and sustainable level of Cirnechi registrations.
