Leiborschy Ulsan von Haunsperg Sh CM - Born 19/06/02 "Henrik" is the clown of the household! An openly affectionate member of the family, he constantly amuses us with his antics.  We certainly feel that he will never cease to be a puppy.  He is the most biddable and adaptable dog we have ever owned and will do anything we ask of him, as his sole purpose in life is to keep his owners happy.  Henrik has the most beautiful deep russet colour and fabulous wire coat the breed requires.  He is truly a dual purpose gundog, who works on a local shoot, and has a prolific show career.  His awards are numerous at the highest level and he has made breed history by earning his Show Certificate of Merit - to date, no other HWV has earned this award.  In gaining his Sh CM, he achieved one Best in Show, a group 1, a Group 2, 2 Group 3's and 2 Group 4's.  In 2004 he was the Top Hungarian Wire-Haired Vizsla Male in the country (awarded by Pedigree/Dog World/Eukanuba/Our Dogs, he was the HWVA Top Hungarian Wire-Haired Vizlsa in 2004/5, in 2006 he achieved the Top Hungarian Wire-Haired Vizsla in the country award (awarded by Pedigree/Dog World/Quistel/Our Dogs, in addition to the HWVCGB Top Hungarian Wire-Haired Vizsla 2006/7 and the HWVA Top Hungarian Wire-Haired Vizsla Male.  In 2006 he was the Colchester Dog of the Year and represented the Colchester and District Training Society at the Essex Show Dog of the Year final in March 2007.  He finished 2007 by reaching the semi-finals of the Border Counties Gundog Club Supermatch and for the second time was the HWVCGB Top Hungarian Wire-Haired Vizsla 2007/8 There is no doubt he has proven himself in the show ring!  Henrik is a proven stud dog and is available to approved bitches.     

Carenage Di Matteo von Haunsperg - Born 20/04/99 "Rembrandt" is the aristocrat of the household.  His general outlook of life is that he is far too good for everything around him  Behind that aristocratic exterior there is however a humorous and affectionate dog who is a joy to live with.  Rembrandt has been lightly shown,(preferring to leave the show stuff to Henrik!) with success both at championship and open show level, his latest award being Best Veteran Dog at Blackpool Championship Show  but he is at his most happiest (other than when sleeping) when he is working.  The "work" he has been trained to do is that of a Search and Tracking Dog.  He started his training at the age of 5 months.  The phenomenal scenting ability of the Bracco Italiano ensures that Rembrandt is an excellent tracking dog.  He is tracked on a harness and line.  He can be used to search for any articles, people or a combination of both.  Rembrandt's ability and performance within this field has interested a number of police forces within the UK to consider the Bracco Italiano as operational police tracking dogs.  Now at 8 years old Rembrandt is retired from his search work, however should the need arise there is no doubt that he could still do the job he is trained for.
