These beautiful dogs are owned by Victoria and her family in the North of England.

Since then their family have been breeding Italian Volpinos using these blood lines.
​
Victoria is very passionate about the breed and has ensured all her dogs are on the KC Agility Register.

​
All the Rustic Italian Volpino dogs have been imported from Southern Italy & are from specific bloodlines to resemble foxes.
