We have returned from our trip to Italy. While in Italy Jasmine was bred to Italian Champion Icaro and Jara was bred to Italian Champion Brenno. Upon our ruturn to America we bred Farah to Tuff. We are very excited about these upcoming litters!!! For more info, go to the available page. We brought home a new addition to the Apex pack....Meridio Della Ruralis Gens. Meridio was not in our original plan but I was so impressed with him we decided to bring him back with us. He has very impressive type, expression and structure as well as a good strong character. I think he will be a nice addition to our program...sharing many of the same traits as our dogs...while at the same time bringing in new blood and qualities which we feel compliment our dogs and program. Meridio is son of Bayron and Eraclea Della Ruralis Gens, bred by Paolo Cuius (Della Ruralis Gens) in cooperation with Luigi Di Rienzo (Valle dei Lord). We are excited about including Meridio in our future breeding plans and I beleive he will do quite well at the shows! ....I have many photos from our trip to Italy which I hope to get on the website soon. Check back!
