Zita (Giselle Veronesi with Devonia)

Zita will be 3 in October 2014. She is still a little bundle of fun, into every sort of mischief she can think up and so full of personality. We will continue to show her during the show season if she is not on maternity duties. She epitomises the character of a Bolognese is really square and has a fabulous coat and black nails.

My thanks to Alberto Veronesi and Alina Vero for picking out this lovely little girl and all their help and assistance making it possible for her to come to the UK.

Zita came to the UK from Italy in 2012 and as a puppy was certainly a bundle of fun, she was into everything but what can one say, just the perfect puppy!! We are so pleased to have this little girl with us here & she settled into the UK with her adopted Brother and sisters. Since she came to the UK we have been lucky enough to have her half Sister who arrived in 2013, and although they look very different, they really are like two peas out of one pod, where you find one, the other is always around.

Zita started her show career at Windsor Championship Show in June, under breed specialist Stuart Band. She won her puppy class and went on to achieve Best Bolognese Puppy in Breed. The critique given to her reads
"Thatchers Giselle (Imp) They say good things come in small packages. This diminutive bitch was a cracker! Super head, eye and captivating expression. Superb front and complimentary rear. Correct coat. I was besotted. Stuart Band” What a start to a show career.

The next show was Paignton & District under Stuart J.Mallard, again Zita achieved Best Puppy in Breed.
Bournemouth Championship show followed under Ms. S. Smith again Best Puppy in Breed.
Welsh Kennel Club Mr. D. Jenkins – Best Puppy in Breed

"Thatcher’s Giselle Veronesi with Devonia (Imp) Excellent type, lovely expression, excellent proportions. Very promising puppy, sound mover”

Zita had a fabulous first summer in the show ring. She continued during the year of 2013 to do well in the show ring and has Three Best of Sex in Breeds to her name attained at Bath Championship Show 2013, Three Counties Championship Dog Show and South Wales Kennel Association. We also took her to Kortrijk in Belgium last November where she received the C.A.C. and C.A.C.I.B. and Best of Breed. Zita has recently been mated and we are hoping for a litter of puppies to fly the Devonia flag.
