PICTURED ABOVE IS A TYPICAL BANNONBRIG BROWN ROAN SPINONE DOG PUPPY. ALL OUR BABIES ARE LAVISHLY REARED IN OUR HOME AS PART OF OUR FAMILY....BASICALLY THEY ARE SPOILT ROTTEN AND GET THE BEST OF EVERYTHING INCLUDING ROUND THE CLOCK ATTENTION AND LOTS OF KISSES AND CUDDLES!!! YOU CAN SEE THE TESTIMONIALS OF OWNERS WHO CAN VOUCH FOR THE QUALITY OF OUR PUPPIES (see BANNONBRIG TESTIMONIALS LINK above).

LULU HAS HAD A SUCCESSION OF MAJOR CHAMPIONSHIP WINS SINCE HER DEBUT. SHE JOINS A LONG LIST OF OUR WINNERS WHICH INCLUDES SHOW CHAMPION BANNONBRIG BUICK (JAFFA), SHOW CHAMPION WYNSETT DRESS TO KILL FOR BANNONBRIG (TEASA) & OUR GEORGE, SHOW CHAMPION BANNONBRIG GORGEOUS GEORGE. MORE RECENTLY OUR CC WINNERS HAVE INCLUDED BANNONBRIG BALDASSARE OF DIGGMERE & BANNONBRIG ROY OF THE ROVERS WHO WAS CRUFTS BEST OF BREED IN 2007.


JAFFA IS NOW HAPPILY ENJOYING HIS RETIREMENT FROM SHOWING AT HOME WITH THE REST OF OUR GANG. GEORGE WHO IS SADLY NO LONGER WITH US WAS ONE OF THE MOST CONSISTENT WINNING SPINONI OF RECENT YEARS HAVING ATTAINED HIS JUNIOR WARRANT AS A YOUNGSTER AND GOING ON TO WIN HIS CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE IN 2001. IN HIS PRIME HE REPRESENTED THE BREED IN THE GUNDOG GROUP AT CHAMPIONSHIP SHOWS ON MANY OCCASIONS.

WE OCCASIONALLY HAVE PUPPIES AVAILABLE TO THOSE INTERESTED IN SHOWING BUT OF GREATER IMPORTANCE TO US IS FINDING GOOD PARENTS FOR OUR OFFSPRING! OUR SPINONI ALSO DEMONSTRATE THEIR NATURAL WORKING ABILITY OUT IN THE FIELD AND SEVERAL OF OUR DOGS' PROGENY CAN BE FOUND IN WORKING HOMES WHERE THE FANTASTIC SPINONE 'NOSE' IS UTILISED TO ITS FULL CAPACITY!

WE ARE NOT A 'COMMERCIAL' KENNEL. DOG SHOWING IS OUR HOBBY BUT FIRST AND FOREMOST OUR SPINONI ARE OUR EXTENDED FAMILY. WINNING IS A BONUS! WE HAVE ALSO OWNED DACHSHUNDS FOR 14 YEARS AND OCCASIONALLY HAVE PUPPIES FROM BOTH BREEDS AVAILABLE . ALL OUR PUPS ARE K.C. REGISTERED, INSURED AND ARE CHECKED OVER BY OUR VET BEFORE THEY GO ON TO THEIR NEW HOMES. WE REGULARLY RECEIVE POSITIVE FEEDBACK FROM OWNERS WHO HAVE ACQUIRED A PUPPY FROM US SAMPLES OF WHICH CAN BE READ ON OUR WEBSITE.

BANNONBRIG HAS BEEN THE HOME OF THE ITALIAN SPINONE FOR OVER 26 YEARS. CAROLE, MIKE & NICOLA ARE FOUNDING MEMBERS OF THE PARENT BREED CLUB ~ THE ITALIAN SPINONE CLUB OF GREAT BRITAIN AND ARE CHAMPIONSHIP BREED JUDGES. NICOLA WILL HAVE THE HONOUR OF JUDGING THE BREED AT CRUFTS IN THE NEAR FUTURE. THEY ARE ONE OF A SMALL BAND OF EXHIBITORS/BREEDERS THAT HAVE BEEN ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN PIONEERING THE BREED SINCE ITS RE-INTRODUCTION TO THE U.K. IN THE EARLY 1980'S. GENERATIONS OF BANNONBRIG DOGS HAVE WON CONSISTENTLY AT CHAMPIONSHIP SHOWS UP AND DOWN THE COUNTRY AND EVEN ABROAD.
