This is CastleGuard Argus at 1 year old.  He is a delightful companion male owned by AshBuaghs.  His parents are Reproduction Champion Pandora and Triple CH Midas.  We got these great fall photos today and thought we’d share some of them.

New Teal'c Puppies!!!

Kia day1We are so excited to announce the birth of a litter out of Teal’c and Kai!  This is Julie Hancock’s litter and they were born in Guam, yes I said Guam.  We shipped semen to her and it traveled more than halfway around the world, which took over 48 hours.  It worked!!  We got 8 beautiful babies!

I want to thank Julie and Ronnie for agreeing to try this breeding. We haven’t had Teal’c puppies in almost 3 years.  I can’t wait until they grow up… Can you tell I am excited??

 Kai is the littermate of Javelin (Deigo, Glory, Romie’s Mom) and Talen (Op’s Mom).  So we are expecting HUGE things out of this litter.  I’ll post photos as we get them.

CastleGuard Raven dominates the females at the SACCI Nationals

RavenOur Dear friend Heather King graciously took our Daughters, Jade and Taylor, to the SACCI Nationals in N. Virginia this last weekend.  Jade showed Raven and once again did outstanding!  Raven took breed the very first show, besting all the males and females in attendance.  She went on to take Best of Opposite Sex in the National show under the distinguished visiting Italian judge Massimo Inzoli.  She then captured Best of Opposite in the final show of the weekend.  

As the girls travel home, Raven will be staying with her new Co-owners, John & Heather. We are hoping these    two knock ‘em dead in the coming year.  Look out for these girls!!

New ICCF & Rarities Champion

Raven1CastleGuard Raven made her show debut at the 2009 Nationals, winning Winners Bitch.  Her Second show was in Sept; ARBA in Denver.  Raven dominated the females and easily won the points for her ICCF CH that weekend.

We now co-own Raven with John and Heather King (Epic) and on Oct14th Jade flew to Philadelphia with Raven and was able to show Raven in the Rarities show. Raven won Winners Bitch in 4 of the 5 shows and went on to win 2 Best of Breeds out of the classes, earning  her Rarities Championship.   We are hoping Raven will be as successful in the ring as her full sister, Gr CH Tahiti!

CastleGuard salutes Antico Cane Corso

We have been blessed with wonderful clients over the years; some work their dogs, some show them and some are just the world’s best puppy dog petters :).  But once in a while we get an over achiever that does all three and I think that its worth mentioning.

Patrick and Katie at Antico own two of our dogs; Leona and Titan and from the first moment they made the commitment to accomplishment great things with them. Not only have they earned their conformation titles, but they are earning working titles as well. The cool thing is they are just getting started and there will be more titles to come! 

We at CaslteGuard Salute Antico for their great achievements in the breed in such a short time. Keep up the good work, guys. We are proud of you!!

New Grand Champion/Top Winning Female of all time!

Nikki & Mike celebrating after winning the 20th Best in ShowAfter winning the Nationals the owners of CastleGuard Nicoletta di Sogni, Jim & Sandy Stigliano, decided that she should be campaigned in the show ring.  Since Nikki was basically an “unknown” dog and walked away with the Nationals, murmurs were heard though out the Corso Community that maybe her win was a fluke.  So the Stiglianos placed Nikki with one of the community’s top handlers, Mike Ertaskiran President of the CCAA.  Over the summer of 2009 Mike and Nikki vanquished all doubt that Nikki is one of the finest Corsos to ever glide around the ring.  Mike and Nikki dominated most of the shows they attended; winning countless Best of Breeds and 20 Best in Show Wins.  A feat unheard of for a Female Corso.  In only 5 months Nikki became the top winning female of all time AND won her second Regional making her one of only a handful Corsos to achieve a Grand Championship.

CastleGuard’s Nikki has the epitome of perfect Corso movement. In all my years in the breed, I have yet to see any Corso move like she does.
