tomas Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Alex is such a cutie!! I've met very out there ones who are very busy!! These were females though and I personally find females of many breeds more busy than the big goofy boys :D The boys are lovely, they are a wonderful breed, ....so many great breeds, so little time I've not been to NZ but Alex may tempt me! Anytime Monah,just hope you can cope with 6 dogs and lots of walks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 He was my bucket list breed/dog and now I have him I even smile sometimes whe I look at him asleep next to me on the couch. :D Congratulations then! He sounds like a real sweetheart - worth the wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest english.ivy Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Oh my Alex is stunning! How big do they grow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomas Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Oh my Alex is stunning! How big do they grow? Between 21 ½ and 26 ½ ins as per NZ and Aussie Breed standard,Alex is bang on 25 in at the moment and has just turned 10 months old last week. He is nearly 30kgs now. Here are a few more pics. Alex and his big brothers and staring out to sea. He has been here just over a month but it really seems like he has always been here. All 6 of them piled up on my King Size bed,laying all over each other. They are such good boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SparkyTansy Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Tomas, Alex is lovely. Like many I have a really curious attachment to this breed. the gentle goofy expression, their elasic gait, they are stunning. Good luck with him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks SparkyTansy ,if I can replicate the movement and stands I have seen him do he will do well. But he has never been shown,though taken to shows for socialising in Hungary. Where he did better each time he went. It will take him a few show weekends to get comfortable. Braccos are not great initially when encountering stuff. But 2nd-4th time,no issues. He is being shown the ropes by my experienced showdogs,so he will get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meant to add,I did too,met my first in 2002 after only seeing them in books. I was not disppointed when I first saw him in Quarantine,he has such a gentle comical soul if that makes sense. They really are a breed that could take off.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceilidh Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I so hope this breed takes off. I fell in love with the Bracco when I was doing research for my essay on the Bracco for judges training.
