Welcome
Come and discover our world, totally dedicated to them ...
Silvia
Silvia is the owner of the kennel and with her this wonderful adventure began in the Monferrato hills.
Always a dog lover, her first best friend was Pisolo, a gift given to her in 1974. From here on, Silvia's life has always been accompanied by multiple 4-legged friends who have been part of our family.
In 1980 she was attracted by the world of sighthounds which she began to study.
In 1990 he ran a pension for dogs for over twenty years.
The first two Sloughi siblings arrived in 2003. Since then the Sloughis have always accompanied us and the dream of breeding them was crowned in 2020 thanks to our female Maik.
Clara
Clara was born and raised in contact with dogs.
Her innate passion accompanies her every day.
Since childhood she has participated in dog shows, first as a spectator and then as a Junior Handler.
She worked a few years in the exhibition environment, which brought her into contact with various dog breeds, including the Bracco Italiano.
Dog that fascinated her right away, for her intelligence and desire to learn.
And this is how two Italian Bracchi became part of our lives in 2016.
She is our official handler in Dog Shows and our Social Media Manager. She will be the first one you will be in contact with.
She is doing a Biology Degree.
Breeding
Since 2009 we have been breeding with the affix Vardamak, recognized by the Italian Kennel Club (ENCI) and by the International Cynological Federation (FCI).
We are located in the beautiful hills of Monferrato, where we walk daily with our dogs.
Our dogs live both at home with us and in a space dedicated to them behind the house.
Puppies are born and raised at home.
They are immediately familiar with the noises of home and life at home.
They are socialized with adults of different breeds and with cats.
They stay with their mother up to 70 days, the age at which they are transferred to new families.
Breeding philosophy
Our breeding philosophy is divided into three fundamental points:
1) HEALTH: all our breeding animals are tested for the main breed pathologies, such as hip and elbow dysplasia for our Bracchi Italiani and progressive retinal atrophy for our Sloughis.
2) CHARACTER: a character that reflects the characteristics of the breed is very important to us. For this reason, socialization, interaction with siblings and contact with adults of different breeds is very important for the growth of the puppy.
3) THE STANDARD: we select our breeders always based on the breed standard.
We participate in dog shows just to compare ourselves and find out if our selection work is going the right way.
Breeding meetings
It is very important for us to keep in touch with the families who welcome our puppy into their life.
For this reason, from time to time we have the pleasure of organizing some gatherings of our kennel.
Spend a day in the company of all the Vardamak.
An excellent opportunity to compare and meet brothers, cousins or uncles.
Often the organization consists of a walk all together in our hills, lunch and ritual photos in the afternoon.
