2010 Show Season - Huge success

We are pleased to announce that we did very well this year, again, in the show ring. We have 2 dogs in the top ten (including the 1# dog) and a third in the top 15.  We won lots of points and majors on our puppies.  The girls did great, as usual.  We couldn’t be more proud! We proved again this year that a CastleGuard dog is hard to beat :)

AKC Gazette chooses CastleGuard

This month’s AKC Gazette was the first to EVER run an article/photos about the Cane Corso.  Of all the photos that were submitted, the AKC choose 3 CastleGuard pix; of course the famous photo of Teal’c, Midas in the woods and  Bruce sired blue puppies. 

We are thrilled to have some of our dogs chosen to introduce the Corso to the US!   Here is the link to the article. Our dogs are on the second page. http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/45e11be3#/45e11be3/27

Fun at the Nationals 2010

Our family had a blast this year at Nationals.  Jade and Taylor showed better than they ever have. I was so proud of them.  The atmosphere was laid back and it was wonderful for us to see our Corso family again. We met lots of great new people and we look forward to building friendships with them as well.
