Australian CHAMPION  NUGOLD CIAO BELLA

Keith Robinson is currently successfully campaigning "Bella" Ch Nugold Ciao Bella a beautiful Brown and Cream girl sired by one of our Italian Imports, Cryout Semola (Imp Italy) (Sam) with the Dam being our show stopping Ch Nugold PeachesNCream (Peaches).  Keith has put a lot of hard work into the showing of Bella, and we are extremely grateful for campaigning her and enabling others to see the lagotto breed in this way.

WELL DONE, KEITH!!!!!

Keith is already well known for his multitude of show successes and most recently for his outstanding show wins with his Lagotti - Ch Kan Trace at Greydove (Dante) and now to accompany that success, he has our Nugold Ciao Bella.  Bella had a personality from the moment she could get up on her own two feet and boss her siblings around!  Bella was selectively bred and her heritage can be traced back to  some of the most well recognised quality Lagotti in Italy. 

Keith of course deserves all the credit here.  Bella has the right pedigree and "heritage", but it is due to the hard work and commitment by Keith to enable more recognition of this most stunning of breeds to be acknowledged throughout not only the show world, but the world of the general public as well.

As I am currently overseas, and having to take a break from the world of breeding and showing, I am not in a position to show.  My daughter has recently started to campain a "same way bred girl" as Bella and at her first show she won Best of Breed.  However, showing remains limited due to her work commitments.  I only ever allowed a couple of my breeding to be sold to be shown.  It is not that I was not prepared to encourage others to get into this field, rather that I had a strong commitment to those in Italy who had been brave enough to let their quality breeding lines come to me in Australia and I owe them a gratitude I will never be able to adequately repay, although I try!  Others may resonate with what I am about to say - it is one thing keeping a puppy for showing potential.  It is quite another to pick the best puppy in the litter and be able to let someone else have that show potential.... because it is just that "potential"!

If you are interested in the breed, and following what is happening in the show ring, feel free to follow Keith and Bella on their journey.  I, for one am excited to follow their path and see where it leads.........

CONGRATULATIONS KEITH ON NOT ONLY TAKING BELLA TO HER CHAMPION TITLE, BUT FOR CAMPAIGNING HER TO HER MULTI CLASS IN SHOW WINS TOO!!
