Looks like I need to do a 6 month update...

The puppies are growing up so fast now.  Just hit the 6 month mark and I am super pleased with them so far.  Brinks has been out practicing at some dog shows in Canada.  Wally has moved to my father's house where the two of them are buddies.  Spanky from the Glow x Fuoco litter is staying here.  We hope she will be a nice show dog in the future but, only time will tell. 

The kennels have been winterized and rewinterized until we get a set plan on what works and what doesn't here.  The rain is a killer. 

We had a puppy family playdate a few weeks ago and some of the local families were able to attend at short notice.  It was a fun time.  We will definitely be planning another one soon. 

Today, I took a few of the dogs to a local health clinic to get some tests updated and get some testing started.  I couldn't be more pleased.

Vullo passed his CERF (eye tested) with no problems and was very happy to meet all the people.
Glow passed her CERF for the third time which is excellent news!
Inky was finally old enough to have her heart tested officially and is now OFA Cardiac Normal by a cardiologist.
Spanky went in for her first test.  Passed her CERF test as well!  She was so great at the vet in the waiting area with all the other people and dogs she just layed down. 
Arya and Nika stopped in with their owners to get their microchips implanted.

It was a busy day!

Puppy update

The puppies are growing fast and love to play.  They started their fifth week on Monday.  I have posted photos on our Facebook account.  You don't need a Facebook account to see them.  Just search PrideNJoyz Cane Corso Facebook.  Depending on the weather, I will try to get some new pictures this weekend.  With it being so hot and humid, it has been difficult to get the little ones outside safely.   

No dog shows planned in the future for the other dogs but, we will be working on Inky and Vullo's CGC and finished Glow's Rally Novice title in the next few months.

Inky and Wally successfully passed their basic obedience class at Y2K9s last week as well! 

Wrightstown PA dog show on June 3rd

It was a big day...Vullo's first show in months, Wally's second show and Crickett's first dog show.  Out in Canada, it was Brinks first show weekend too!

Vullo took Best of Opposite under judge Ron Rock and defeated two other champion males for a 5 point major towards his Grand Championship!

Wally moved excellent in the ring but he needs time to grow to compete with the older dogs.  We are still extremely proud of him.

Crickett without any prior show training really impressed the judge.  AKC Judge Ron Pock gave her Winners Bitch for her first AKC point and she defeated Wally for Best of Breed puppy.  She went on tot he group ring and ended up with a Group 4 placement in the Puppy Working Group!  She really seemed to enjoy it and her parents were beaming from ear to ear.

Brinks did great brought home the Best of Breed Puppy each day and took home the Best of Breed ribbon one day too!  Way to go Brinks and Jolayne!

Update on the puppies:  They are doing great and growing so fast.  We should be seeing some ears opening soon.

Little fireflies are here!

We are happy to announce the birth of 5 beautiful female puppies and 1 gorgeous male puppy from Fuoco x Glow on Memorial Day 2012!

This little girl has her daddy's color.

I am not a blogger

As it turns out...I am not a blogger.  I can't seem to remember to update my blogs so I apologize in advance.  A lot has been going on..

PrideNJoyz No Autographs Please aka Wally had his first AKC and showed great!  No ribbons but we were only hoping for a nice positive experience. 

Fuoco went back to Italy but, not before becoming an AKC Champion, passing his OFA cardiac and his CERF!  I believe he is the first and only Corso in Italy with an AKC Championship and any cardiac and eye testing!  He is such a sweet boy and we miss him already.

Upcoming Litter 2012

More exciting news!

Alessandro Bigozzi of I Corsi dell Nevaia in Italy has agreed to let us bring multiple champion Fuoco della Nevaia to USA!  Fuoco will be bred to Glow this spring/summer.  We will be taking limited deposits on this fantastic combination!

Thank you to Alessandro for trusting us with this exceptional Cane Corso and thank you to Robert Giannuli for helping to bring Fuoco to USA!

CCAA Bitch of the Year 2011

We are happy to announce that Glow has been awarded 2011 CCAA Bitch of the Year!!!

A great 2011

2011 was a fantastic year for PrideNJoyz Cane Corso!  Glow had another outstanding show year and welcomed two beautiful puppies into this world, Wally and Inky.

Aria brought us four additional fantastic puppies as well!

Glow just missed being #1 female again for 2011 but, we are just as happy with her ending her show career at #2 female and in the top 10 for 2011. 

All the puppies are growing up and turning out to be some fine examples of the breed and we can't wait to see them in the show ring and in the rally ring.
