Our dogs
Nora Nova Espera FCI
Nora. Spotted ears, gentle heart. Nora is soft and a little shy, carrying in her appearance the truest essence of a French lady – elegant and faithful to the Porcelaine standard. Yet she does not seek the spotlight, and so her titles are fewer than her sister’s.
Adventure and surprise are not really to her taste, unless they involve the thrill of chasing a creature through the forest. A cat will do as well – though always without
harm, and the cats, clever as they are, know this and do not fear her. Nora is happiest in the quiet rhythm of daily life, close to her people. Loyal, obedient, affectionate,
playful – that is her essence. Her greatest weakness, however, is food. In Nora’s opinion, portion control should be strictly forbidden, as it violates the very spirit of animal
welfare.

Naomi Nova Espera FCI
Naomi – or Mimi. Brown-eared and long-legged, Naomi lives up to her name. She is the model of the family – elegant, slender, and striking, a favorite of the experts. In spirit she is fiercely independent, a graceful cat in the body of a hound.
Despite her proud stature, she often wants nothing more than to curl up in your lap and shower her people with affection. And yet, at times, she may rise, leave everything behind, and retreat alone to an empty room to “meditate” or doze.
She is generally obedient, but always considers carefully whether the task asked of her truly deserves her attention. Her exhibition results are exceptional, her hunting instincts razor-sharp, and her ability to enchant her humans unmatched. When Naomi has a plan, she will fix you with her wise, mesmerizing gaze until you can do nothing but rise and carry it out.

Sisters Nora and Naomi were born on August 26, 2022, in Poland, at the renowned Nova Espera (FCI) kennel – a place where every puppy is welcomed with warmth, care, and genuine devotion.
Nova Espera is celebrated for its long-standing dedication to perfecting the Porcelaine hound. From there come dogs of remarkable beauty and type, but also of steady, trustworthy character. Their show triumphs are well known, yet their truest achievement lies in the hearts of families, where they become irreplaceable companions.
Nora and Naomi are the daughters of Jasmine Nova Espera and Legato Lego Nova Espera, both shining examples of their noble breed. Sisters were born into the “N” litter, in which, by 2025, two sisters already carry the coveted title of World Winner (WW).

Konrad Wallenrod D’Ivande
Konrad. A wise gaze, elegance, and the true passion of a hound. Born on August 1, 2025, in Latvia, he is the puppy of our Nora and the purebred Frenchman Ody (Ulysse de la Vallée du Mascaret). In terms of conformation, he is a strong, harmonious, and stable example of the breed with excellent fluidity of movement, which is already highly appreciated by experts.
Character-wise, Konrad is an intelligent and charming boy with a slightly independent yet endlessly loving nature. Outside the show environment, he thoroughly enjoys long walks and playtime, but he enters the ring with the genuine passion and confidence of a true hound.
