         Are your dogs Champions?


Some of our dogs have received a Championship
in the conformation ring.   We learned early that
making a dog a Champion doesn't really carry
much merit.  Nearly any Corso can be
championed after attending enough shows,
regardless of their looks or temperament.  Just
because a dog has a Championship doesn't
make it a well rounded good specimen of the
breed. Temperament and health need to be given
just as much consideration as their looks.
Competing in the Conformation ring can be fun.  
A lot of practice goes into preparing for the
competition. Some handlers have developed a
real art to making a dog look good in the ring.   
Champion titles are often acquired because of
the skill of a handler, so don't bank on those Ch.
Initials being an indicator for a superior dog.  
Several of our dogs, and the offspring they have
produced, are champions, but we would like to
stress to you this should not be used as an
indicator for a dogs worth.
