Volpino Italiano Khaleesi
THE VOLPINO, whose name means "Little Fox" in Italian, is descended from the ancient Spitz dog of Europe that can be traced back to Roman times. For centuries he was known only inside Italy, where he was the favored pet of nobles and artists (Michelangelo may have owned a Volpino) as well as the companion and guard dog of farmers and shepherds. The breed declined drastically during the 20th century, and by the 1960's was nearly extinct. In 1984 an effort was launched to revive the Volpino, and although he has made a comeback he is still quite rare, even in Italy. He can be found in small numbers in parts of Europe and America.
Khaleesi was bred by Ann Kingston of Glenvally Showdogs. She is one of the rarest breeds in the world and we are trying to start a british breed club so we can fight to get the KC to recognise them.
I hope to put Khaleesi to an Italian boy later next year and help to get more Volpino's into the UK as the more we have the better chance we have or recognition.
