​

Vespa was bred by us and is a Yennefer baby from her first litter.  We kept Vespa and our son had Letty who is a pet dog. Vespa's bloodline comes through Emma Towns of the Braccorion affix. 

Vespa is Orange and white, but she will carry Chestnut and by mating her to a Chestnut she will produce both colours.  She does not carry the tri colour gene. 

Vespa is a gentle and loving dog. She is kind and a pleasure to take anywhere. In her younger days she was a bit drooly and wore a bib, but she soon got out of that with the more travel she did.   She was one of the cutest puppies in the world as her markings were just so pretty.  Both Letty and Vespa know they are sisters and they love each others company.  In fact they look for each other where ever they are.   Both Vespa and Letty have been shown in dog shows and Vespa qualified for Crufts for two years. 

Vespa is an easy going personality and she loves to just sit and look out the window watching the birds go by. She is so sweet.  She loves going for a run and she loves playing with a ball.  

One of Vespa's quirks is she loves a bath and I mean really loves a bath but it has to be hot water.  If she thinks it's bath day she will get over excited. She also loves to be towel dried and enjoys every minute. Some dogs would run a mile but nope not her. 

Vespa has perfect recall and always had good recall. She wants to please, and she is so well behaved.

I liken Vespa to a lioness who sits and looks so proud of herself in life.  She was an excellent mother to her first litter and she raised them very well teaching them all she could.  I was so impressed with the way she raised them and the owners have been in contact telling me how wonderful they are.  Even some were previous bracco owners and said their dogs from us were far more socialised, far more confident and far exceeded expectations. Which was lovely to hear. It means we did a good job with them.  So we hope to mate Vespa for her second and final time to Eddie this time, so we get two different colours in the litter.  This helps then when we get enquiries as we can help far more people.   

Vespa qualified for Crufts 2023/4/5 but we have retired her for now. I may change my mind again. But when they have had a litter the boobs can sag afterwards.  This is why Nancy has not had a litter. We will be mating Nancy in 2026. 
​
Vespa is so kind and loving.  Is not aware of personal space and would get inside my skin. They talk of Vizsla being the only velcro dog, well clearly they aren't Bracco owners.  The Bracco loves nothing more than to be with you all the time.  Vespa is so sweet and calm. Everyone says they have never seen such a calm dog before.  This comes down to early social skills and just letting them be part of the family. 

Vespa did obedience training as a pup and she did ring craft training for the show ring.  She has done so well at shows we are proud of her. Winning classes from puppy to post grad. Her last show she got a 3rd in the big girls class. 

Vespa is raw fed as we believe. Braccos should be naturally raised with no vaccine, and given a quality diet of raw natural foods.  The reason is skin issues in the breed.  They are a breed which naturally will get skin issues due to their huge amount of elastic skin they have.  My girls have no skin issues because of the way they are reared.   Quality diets are proteins, offal and bone with fruits.  Vespa thrives and looks a picture of health on her diet.  Every morning Vespa has natural treats which she loves. 

I am aware I have not updated Vespas page with photos from 2024.  So I will endeavour to find them on my phone and start adding.  As she is all grown up now.

SHOW RESULTS
​
East of England Championship show 2022 - First puppy bitch, Best puppy bitch. CRUFTS QUALIFIED 2023 First Show!!!

Critique From Judge: Silvestre Destiny is a Beast. I loved her! She has the bone and substance that I like and combines it with a noble almost square appearance.  Deep chest, moderately short and well rounded neck and a typical topline. Her head is lovely and well chiselled.  She moves so very well in typical Bracco style. Sympathetically handed. Christine Morgan.
