Lazio, Umbria, Marche and Tuscany: these are the regions from which came the packs of hounds that competed for the regional final for dogs followed on hare in the restocking and capture areas of the provincial territory of Viterbo. This is an event organized by Federcaccia Lazio together with the Province of Viterbo, the local Hounds and Hounds Association and the Territorial Hunting Area. Furthermore, the evidence was an integral part of the qualifications for the final of the Italian Cup, therefore the result to be achieved was more than ambitious. The Lazio final lasted three days in total and had as its main objective to verify the validity and quality of the Italian dog breeding.
The qualifications were divided into two categories: the category A he saw Giovanni Petruccioli, Corrado Caloisi, Marco Barbanera, Rodolfo Del Treste (Free Hunting Pairs and Wetsuit Social Champion) excel, as well as Menghini-Dominici. There B category instead it counts among the qualified Michele Calderari, Vittorio Penza and Adriano Costantini, Pompetti-Fabbri and Bellacima-Menichelli. The Lazio section of the Italian Federation of Hunting also wanted to underline the excellent work done by the judges of the Italian National Dog Association (ENCI).
According to the president of the regional federation, Aldo Pompetti, one can only be satisfied with these results. In fact, the participation was defined as extraordinary, with a development that took place in the best possible way. Thanks therefore went to the organizers for the common effort that was made and put in place, obviously without forgetting the competitors: the wetsuits that competed in the Viterbo territories proved to be valid, both from the morphological point of view and from the more strictly hunting point of view.
Pompetti also thanked the organization of Joseph Iacoponi and his staff, then turning a thought to Ivo Angels, who recently passed away and in the front row last year to have this event held by montefiascone in 2016: the reference to his passion and his commitment is not accidental, Angeli has given a lot to hunting and dog lovers with his dogs and the knowledge of the different breeds, qualities that have allowed him to conquer federal prestige and to be part of the staff who prepare the hunting world championships on behalf of the same federation. After pride and emotion, there will be room for the Italian Cup final, an event for which we will have to wait until next November (both in pairs and in packs in Collacchioni, in the province of Arezzo).
