Jaap Muller and Tina Steffens

    


The NABIC asked us to be on the
Advisory Board of Directors and we were asked to introduce ourselves to you.  We are Jaap Muller and Tina Steffens.  We live in the northwest region of the Netherlands.

We are both keen on field sports, shooting, and have both enjoyed working and competing with our Bracchi all around Europe for many years now.  We started our kennel with dogs from Italy and still use dogs from Italy to keep our bloodlines strong and healthy.  Our goal is to promote the Bracchi as a working dog. 

Our dogs live in our house and became part of our family many years ago.  Taking care of the dogs is our greatest hobby.  We use our dogs for our own practical hunting.

You can meet us at field trails and working tests all over Europe or at the many dog shows all over Europe.  We are members of the Bracco Italiano Club in Italy and visit Italy on a regular basis to keep up to date about the Bracco Italiano.

We think it is important to have as much as information about this breed as possible.  We do our best to breed responsibly, for us this means that we only use Bracchi who are healthy, have hunting ability, and fit the breed standard.

We avoid dogs who have health problems and we are not supporters of close breeding methods.  We think it is important that before people want to breed, they need to be informed about the health, the hunting ability’s, and the standard of this breed.  Otherwise the special character of this breed will be totally lost in a few decades.
