We have decided this year to work more towards titles other than conformation titles. Glow needs one leg to get her Rally Novice title and we are planning on getting a few of the younger dogs their CGC and RN titles this year.
We will see what happens...

2013 Breedings
We are planning to bred Glow to Daitan della Valle Dei Lord, owned by Dal Mare Cane Corso. Glow tends to come in season at her own pace unfortunately. We are estimating puppies around October or November.
We are also potentially planning a dual sired litter with Inky the end of 2013. We would like to breed her to Vullo and potentially another male and then place her in a pet home. She has a wonderful, happy temperament. We are sad that her bite went undershot beyond the standard. We feel finding her a great pet home (after she has one litter...hopefully) where she can get all the love and attention she desires would be the greatest gift for her. We realize that not all dogs were meant to be show dogs or turn out the way we hoped. Rather than take the risk of her getting disqualified for her bite we feel she can hopefully bless us with fantastic puppies and retire.

The end of busy season and Nationals
Now that busy season at work is over, I can catch up on some much needed website updates, updating the blog, playing with the dogs, and other things that get put off from January to April.
Busy season was hard on everyone this year. The most trying times came right at the end of busy season. The CCAA, AKC parent club, had their Nationals week from April 11-14th. This was my first year with the club as Treasurer and I learned a lot. It was a bit overwhelming. The great news is that Roby Giannuli and Jolayne Moryski were coming to visit during Nationals! Roby is from the kennel Antiqua Apulia in Bari, Italy and Jolayne is the owner of our very own Brinks who lives in Alberta, Canada. It was great having them here to help and I wish I had more time to hang out with them.
Thursday after a long day of traveling on Wednesday for Roby, he was kind enough to take Vullo to the CCAA sponsored ATTS test. ATTS is a test certified by the American Temperament Test Society. Vullo passed with flying colors but, that isn't a surprise. We already knew he is great. :) We did get a few nice photos of him from the test that I will be posting on his page. As a favor to me, Roby volunteered to translate for FCI Judge Danilo Giorgio (IT) for the Breeders Cup. The club had the great honor of having Danilo Giorgio and Sarka Bajerova, a well known and respected breeder of Cane Corso from Czech Republic here to judge some of the breeds top dogs/bitches.
Thursday night Jolayne arrived safely. While I went to work on Friday, Jolayne and Roby took Vullo and Spanky to Nationals in Harrisburg, PA for written critiques from Danilo and Sarka. I was very pleased with their comments. Overall Danilo gave Vullo and Excellent and Sarka gave him a Very Good. Both liked Spanky but noted she needed more bone and hoped her topline would firm up around as she got old but gave her very good remarks.
Saturday night was the banquet and all three of us went with Oz, Arya (Fuoco x Glow pup) and Vullo in tow for Sundays show. The banquet was a lot of fun and met lots of other Corso lovers.
Sunday everyone did their best. We didn't walk away with any prizes but I was very proud. We were happy to support the club.
