This afternoon, on the last day of the 3-day Perry, Georgia, dog show cluster, Judge Susan Catlin awarded Orso Breed of Breed in a class with an impressive Cane Corso entry for another 5-point major with other champions defeated counting toward his AKC Grand Championship.  She also awarded Karma Select Bitch for additional AKC Grand Championship points!  A ton of thanks go to all involved, but especially to my amazing show handling team, Daniel & Vanessa Sanchez!

This morning, under Judge Karen McFarlane, Orso was awarded Select Dog and Karma took Best of Opposite with handler Daniel Sanchez for more points toward their respective AKC Grand Championships!  For Orso, it was a 4-point major!  Little by little, these two are earning the points they need for their new titles!  So very proud of them!  Thanks to all involved!

This is a very exciting blog post for me because I get to share with Costa Bel Cane Corso’s cyber-family the article that I wrote for ShowSight Magazine on living with the Cane Corso breed.  My 2-page article, titled “Living Large with the Cane Corso”, was published in the April 2012 issue of ShowSight Magazine for the magazine’s Cane Corso Breed Feature.

A ton of thanks goes to Michael Ertaskiran, President of the Cane Corso Association of America, for kindly asking me to write this article.  I am honored to have been asked to represent our amazing breed in writing!  Below are images of the cover of the magazine and my 2-page article.  Click here for an Adobe file that will open in a separate window with a full size version of not just my article, but also those of Michael Ertaskiran titled “History of the Cane Corso” and Shauna DeMoss titled “Judging the Cane Corso.”  Enjoy!

This afternoon, Orso once again took Best of Opposite in Elkton, Florida, under Judge Jane Roppolo with handler Daniel Sanchez.  Thanks to all involved in today’s win!

This morning, Orso took Best of Opposite and Karma took Select Bitch in Elkton, Florida, under Judge Linda Robey with handler Daniel Sanchez for more points toward their AKC Grand Championships.  Thanks to all involved in today’s wins!
