We are very proud of Gino who came to us from the Radamantino kennel in Italy. Even though he was just a 7-month old pup when he arrived, we knew that he was an unusually good dog, both in temperament and conformation. He comes from a line of international winners and European champions are prominent in his immediate ancestry. He has proven to be the most loving, willing, and eager little fellow anyone could hope for.

From the very first, Gino placed high in the conformation ring and has lived up to his pedigree. In UKC shows Gino quickly earned his championship as well as additional recognition as a "Champion of Champions" and a Group First winner. His first year out Gino was the #3 Bolognese in the United States, and even though he was shown only rarely he ranked #4 in 2007.

This year Gino has been invited to the UKC's "Top Ten" Invitationals in June (2008) in Kalamazoo, MI. We are excited, and he already has his bags packed!

Gino is not solely about conformation. Indeed, he loves agility as well. At less than 10 inches in height and weighing less than 10 pounds, Gino performs in the "Teacup Agility" class. He is well on his way to his title and won first in "Games" and qualified with a winning score in Standard Runs.
