If anyone has an interest in the Bracco breed and is attending Crufts on Saturday Axel is coming over from Italy to compete. He is Italy's Top Dog all breeds for 2008 and an excellent working dog too. In my humble opinion if you are keen to know how a Bracco should look come and see him, his owners speak excellent english too.

Thanks Kim - I've seen him abroad and he is one "hell of a dog" and well worth taking the time to go and see him. Very Happy

I'm going to have a little wager here Very Happy

If Axel wins BOB I predict at least a group placing and maybe a Gp 1 Laughing

Crufts is one of those shows where the unexpected happens.... but I'll happily put some money on him too. Even though I'm competing against him he's such a stunning example of the breed for me it's almost a forgone conclusion! When he's seen moving in the group ring (if he's BOB) where he'll have the room to really extend he'll just take peoples breath away.
Can you tell I'm a fan lol! I'm very lucky to have his son and grandaughter here at home, if I can breed on just some of his class I'll consider myself very fortunate.

Well, I think its a foregone conclusion that Axel will win the group at Crufts with all the pre-publicity in the UK.

As a Bracco enthusiast I find it quite insulting that the Chairman of the UK Bracco Italiano Society cannot find it in herself to promote the UK exhibitors.

Basically what Mrs Parris is saying here is that no other Bracco at Crufts is worth considering. I am sure the many exhibitors who have travelled to shows up and down the country in order to qualify for Crufts will be thrilled that she has taken the time to write on a public forum about Axel being a foregone conclusion to win the group!!! Shocked

FWIW there are some (not many, but some!) stunning examples of the Bracco in the UK and none of them out of Axel. I am incredibly offended by this post.

I am looking forward to seeing all the Bracchi compete at Crufts, not just Axel!!!!
