About Brezza a lot has been written ....


It was the dawn of October 23, in the in the valley of the Fucino, close to Luco dei Marsi, everything wakes up again, life started as usual, except for a female of Maremma Abruzzes Sheepdog that instead falls asleep for a long refreshing sleep, exactley in the same place where she was born and where she lived for almost 13 years so intensely.
Brezza of Lucus Angitiae, founder of one of the most important genealogical lines of this race.

Who had the fortune to meet her and to get to know her has appreciated her innate dowries, that through her puppies, nephews and descendants, have allowed to fix the morphological characteristics, that more than others mirror the standard of the race.

Cafiero, Ulisse, Ultimo, Cassio, Zingara, Vela, Sila and so many others, are the champions that have allowed the race to be known and appreciated both on a national and international level.

Brezza, the small great Brezza, has gone in silence, but from up there she will always watch over her descendants and who, as I, have had the fortune to meet her and to be able to caress her (she didn't allow everybody to do so) will always bring her in the heart!
Thanks Brezza, for everything that you have given, for everything that you have taught us.
This memory we owe you!

Luco dei Marsi, is mourning in the world of the Maremma Abruzzes Sheepdog. At the age of 13 years Brezza of Lucus Angitiae died.
Not everybody have known her, this leathery dog, founder of one the most important genealogical lines for the Maremma Abruzzes Sheepdog.
Brezza of Lucus Angitiae has given a a lot to this race, that jumped thanks to her, to the honors of dog shows all around Europe.
With numerous champions that descend from her, has made it possible to fix the morphological characteristics that more than all mirror the standard of race.

Agostino Di Cola that has raised Brezza has known how to hinge on her, with his creative, rare cynophile genius, a family of the Maremma Abruzzes Sheepdog from which it is not possible to move from if we want to improve with seriousness this race.

The most representative subject of Lucus Angitiae is obviously Cafiero, that contains the beauty and the character of this reserved and serious dog, powerful and attentive, elegant and rustic,loyal and generous.
His dowries, his features are to him derived by Brezza, as if this subject had been originated only from a rib of his mother.

Thanks Brezza for what you have given to your race. Thanks Agostino to have succeeded through the memory of your Abruzzo and the Marsica, earth of flocks and whites guardians, thank you for having succeeded, in the loneliness of your thoughts and aspirations, to mix these subjects that genetically makes today Lucus Angitiae a strong family, able to continue the selection of the race in the line that is originated from Brezza.
