Pinot Rosa Del Montecani
" Tarka"
Tarka was
my foundation bitch, bred by Gael Stenton.
The moment
I saw her at 8 weeks old, I knew she was special. She
proved her worth in the show ring and as a great producer,
rearing three beautiful litters and passing on her quality
down several generations
She excelled
in the field, still picking up and working the beating
line at 12 years old.

Mystique
" Roma"
We kept
Roma from Tarka’s first litter in 1992 by
the legendary Wynsett Jumpin’ Jack Flash.
She
had her moments in the show ring but was happier
at home as Mum’s constant companion.

Mighty Aphrodite
" Ccesca"
1CC
Beautiful
Ccesca, my constant companion. She loved life. I have
great memories of her with hordes of children, sitting
on her bench at Crufts, having pictures taken. She loved
the attention.
Together
we walked 11 miles across the Malvern hills, she came
to London on the train when I had my interview for my
promotion, played to the crowds at Discover Dogs and
spent days up on the heath when we were flying model
rockets, trying to retrieve them.
She always
greeted you with a smile, a real dog in a million.
I will never
forget the wonderful times we shared before her life
was cut short, aged 6 years old.
It broke
my heart to say goodbye.

In the
summer of 2006 we had to say goodbye to Armando Nannina
(Nina), aged 15 and a half.
She was my third Spinone, a bit of a madam and very
stubborn, but a fantastic hunting dog, working up
till the age of 10.
She spent her retirement years living with my mum.

" Cashmere"
Poor Cashmere
from Bella and Chicco's litter developed an infection
at 11 weeks old and despite all efforts, the vets
were unable to save him. We wanted to put him on the
Memories page for his devoted owners Jon and Shelley.
They wrote these few words.
"Cashmere
was only in our lives for a short time, but in that
time he touched our hearts in a way that will stay
with everyone who loved him forever. He may be gone
to be forever young, but will never, ever be forgotten."
