GCH CH QUATTRO ZAMPE BLACK VELVET WHISKEY THIEF JH CGC TKN

“BEATRICE”

Beatrice is our Foundation Bitch. She is confident, loyal, sweet and incredibly smart. The two things she loves most in this world are hunting and her inner circle of people and dogs. She has many traits we hope pass on to her puppies, and is a wonderful example of the Spinone breed in both temperament and type.

Beatrice was bred by Teri Turner of Quattro Zampe. A pioneer in the breed, Teri assisted in spearheading the Spinone Club of America, and has been owned by and breeding Spinoni for over 30 years, averaging one litter per year. Teri has bred numerous champions and top ranking Spinoni, including a handful awarded at the prestigious Crufts and Westminster. She graciously mentors me in every aspect of the breed, for which I am eternally grateful. I am incredible fortunate to have a foundation bitch of such high quality, no doubt thanks to the diligence and hard work of breeders before me. Teri imported Beatrice’s Dam and Sire from Italy, beginning a new line I am ecstatic to inherit.
