In early March 2012 we are expecting puppies from our girl, Collina d'Oro Deal Mia Diamond (Mia). She is a fantastic girl; outgoing, comical, birdy and beautiful. Mia has competed in the show ring and achieved her championship by the age of 8 months, her Grand Championship at 11 months and was recognized at the Spinone Club of America National Specialty at 14 months as Best of Opposite.
Mia has been working on field training and we plan to compete with her for hunt titles in 2012.
We do not anticipate any brown roan puppies born at Collina d'Oro in 2012
Mia - 14 months - Best of Opposite

Spumante's current AKC conformation ranking:
As the puppies grow we are carefully evaluating them taking into consideration temperament, conformation, personality and hunting interest. As they develop we begin to get a feel for each of the puppies and which are suited to each home. We take into consideration lifestyle, interests with the puppy (hunting, showing, agility, therapy, etc) and also your preferences; like gender and color. It’s important to know we’ll make the final decision about the best pup for you, but are always open to input.
Our puppies will all be AKC registered and sold on a limited registration unless we agree otherwise; in advance. Limited registration is used to prevent irresponsible breeding and to protect our breeding lines.
All puppies are raised in our home, in the center of the action. We believe in the Bio-Sensor program for early neurological stimulation (smarter more confident dogs) and also The Rule of 7's: by 7 weeks the puppy should have experienced 7 different: people, places, surfaces, challenges, objects, etc. Every puppy or adult is ALWAYS welcome back in our home!
