Angus - Owlspoint Confess Trouble At Claddagh exemplifies the Bracco Italiano! A dog that has been bred for purpose and fit to function, his correct structure and natural ‘flying trot’ keeps him going all day in the field, day after day. At only 12 months old, Angus attended the Bracco Italiano Club of America National Specialty and earned Best Puppy, Winner’s Dog, and National Best of Opposite Sex. A month later earned a maximum score of 112 points in his NAVHDA Natural Ability test. Angus has hunted extensively in Montana on Ruffed Grouse, Pheasant, Sharptail and Huns. His keen desire and grit to get deep into dense cover and cold water has surpassed what we expected of the breed. He is an absolute pleasure to live with in the house with his clown-like demeanor that keeps the kids entertained, yet ready for cuddles at any time. Click here to know more about Angus.

Lovec - (Lovec: Czech for hunter, being Lovec’s sire is a Czech import), was whelped at Brush Dale on 2/28/19 as part of the CC litter. Lovec’s sire is IntCh Dick Zimni Vrch (Jaxon) and his dam is IntCh Brush Dale’s Brown-Eyed Girl (Tess). Lovec is owned by Scott Green of Cokato, MN.

Lovec shares his home (and Scott’s bed) with his older ½ brother Jager. Jager, Brush Dale’s Open Season is from Tess also and comes from the O-litter. Lovec is affectionate and has a couple of funny personality characteristics; every morning upon waking up, Lovec likes to lick and nibble on one of Scott’s ears (his way of saying good morning) and when really content while being petted or for belly rubs, Lovec will doggie purr, it sounds like a deep chested soft growl (but he’s not growling), and whenever he wants a little attention or an ear scratch, he puts his paw on Scott’s hand or arm and stares at him.

Lovec has a very attractive, medium dense, soft, dark roan coat, with nice furnishings. He weighs around 54 pounds and is average in height for a male Small Munsterlander per the Breed’s FCI standard. Lovec has a beautiful flag for a tail – a required characteristic of the breed. He has a nice masculine head, muzzle, and appropriately almond shaped eyes. Everywhere Scott takes Lovec, people familiar with the Small Munsterlander breed comment how Lovec is a beautiful example of a male Small Munsterlander and people not familiar with the breed comment; what a beautiful dog. Lovec received his International Championship in confirmation on April 10 th and 11 th of 2021. During that same weekend Lovec earned a “Best in Show Rare Breed Adult” honor.

Scott is actively involved in NAVHDA Testing and AKC Hunt Tests with both Lovec and Jager. Lovec earned a max score of 112 and a Prize 1 at his Natural Ability test at age 15 months. Lovec was easily ready much earlier, but Covid had an impact on when he could run his test. Scott has trained and tested Jager (Lovec’s ½ brother at the highest level of NAVHDA, the “Invitational” in September 2021 and requalified Jager for his second Invitational in September 2022 in New Mexico. Scott is extremely confident Lovec will be able to reach this same level of success within NAVHDA. In addition, Scott will have Lovec actively involved in obtaining his AKC Hunting Titles.

Like his mother (Tess) and ½ brother Jager, Lovec has a very high prey drive. This is the reason Scott wanted a second pup from Tess. To go with the prey drive, Lovec has an excellent off-switch while in the home. He loves to take naps on his bed or on Scott’s feet, while Scott is working at his desk. Lovec and Jager do get a daily run off leash every evening for approximately 45 minutes, this definitely helps with the off-switch aspect.

Lovec is hunted on both upland game birds and waterfowl. He’s hunted and retrieved; quail, pheasants, chukar, sharptail, ruff grouse, and waterfowl in Minnesota, Iowa, South Dakota, Montana, and Washington. In the field Lovec is a tireless, relentless, bird finding machine. Lovec’s cooperation and obedience in the field allows him to be an absolute joy to hunt with. He’s always quartered naturally back and forth in front of Scott and periodically comes back to check-in and is regularly making eye contact. He instinctively knows that they are a team in the field.

During the three seasons to date, Lovec has retrieved 100% of the birds knocked down over him. He’s a natural retriever; in addition, he’s been trained to retrieve into the heel position, sit, and then presents the bird. Retrieving waterfowl out of a boat is something to witness, Lovec literally launches himself off the side, back or off the motor to start the retrieve. (He Loves It)! A couple of upland retrieves in particular stand out to Scott; at 7 months, on the Iowa pheasant opener, Scott knocked down a rooster, Lovec got a good mark, but the rooster was running. Scott was able to watch Lovec’s track/retrieve via his GPS collar. The distance away reached 185 yards before Lovec started back. The rooster was still alive when Lovec delivered to Scott’s hand. Scott knew at that point that he had a great natural retrieving dog. The second sequence happened the fall of 2021 during a Montana hunting trip. Lovec is now 2 ½, a friend knocked down a rooster, but no dog saw the bird fall. Lovec was delivered to the spot and given the “Dead Bird” command. Again, using the GPS collar the track and retrieve was watched. This time the distance went out to 365 yards, with the bird retrieved to hand.

To make hunting trips even more enjoyable, Lovec rides extremely well in the vehicle. He’s made multiple trips to Dallas, TX, Spokane, WA, and many others of great distance. In addition, Lovec and Jager generally go with Scott every where in his truck. The exception to the rule of doing well in the vehicle is when the tires hit gravel, the whining and excitedness reach a high level, only because that means one thing – “Its Bird Hunting Time”.

Due to whelp March 8, 2025

Guido II "Guido" (top right puppy image is from Guido's previous litter)
Pedigree – OFA

Lumpy’s Fancy Luna Blu JH NA I "Fancy" (three images on left)
Pedigree – Health Testing Results 

Guido – Guido is a kind gentle soul. He is loved unconditionally by his owners. He has not spent a lot of time in the field due to his owners ages. But is pedigree speaks for itself. Guido’s siblings that have had the opportunity for field work have excelled. Guido’s pedigree along with his outstanding personality and temperament will match up fantastically with Fancy and should produce outstanding pups that will be very well rounded and should excel as great family, field and show ring dogs.
