In June 2008 Gino won Best of Breed at the UKC Top Ten Invitational in Kalamazoo. In his next 6 shows in the Pacific Northwest, he placed in the group each day - winning two Group I's, two Group II's, and two Group III's.

Gino made us very proud when he was awarded Reserve Best in Show in August at the Central Oregon Regional Show in an entry of 200 UKC dogs.

We are happy to say that our pups have all found very good homes where they are treated with love and kindness. One of the pups is living high on the hog with a heart surgeon and his wife in New Jersey. They are thrilled with him and he goes everywhere with them. He enjoys spend weekends at their second, exclusive home in The Hamptons.



Another puppy went to the home of the Northwest Coordinator of the Small Paws Rescue group in central Washington state. Tootsie is her second Bolo, and she appreciates his breeding, temperament, his sweetness, and the joy he brings.



The third puppy, Bruno, went to a wonderful family in Selah,WA. They just love their little guy. They used to have Labs but they think Bruno is the best!

Anastasia, from Bitze and Gino's first litter, lives in Fresno, CA, where she has become a star in a TV commercial! She appears with her owner in a commercial advocating high-quality dog food and featuring the Solid Gold brand. Watch her commercial:  Anastasia  Give the video a moment to load. You'll see what a gorgeous girl Anastasia is on TV!





And another shot of Gino, a Bolognese of Distinction, showing his wonderful face and his ever captivating personality. We were involved in a lot of activities with Gino in 2008 and we couldn't be more pleased with his performance, his accomplishments, and his awards.
