My name is Antonio and my journey with Black & Tan Coonhounds began back in 2014 at the very start of the breed’s presence here in the UK.

Along with Estella Saxton & Phil Dale, I had the privilege of importing the first three Coonhounds into the country, helping to introduce and establish this remarkable breed and laying the foundation for their development on British soil.

With over 35 years experience in the world of dogs, my passion for breeding, showing and promoting this exceptional breed has only continued to grow.

I’m proud to have helped establish the UK’s official breed club which works to support responsible breeding and ownership and preserve the Coonhound’s heritage.

For the past 10 years I’ve been dedicated to breeding and showing Black & Tan Coonhounds that embody the true spirit of the breed – sound in both type and temperament, balanced and full of character.

Today I share my home with four wonderful Coonhounds, including the current Top Black & Tan Coonhound in the UK!
