It's official, "Cirino" is now an AKC Champion! What's more, he has qualified to be shown at the pretigious AKC/Eukanuba National Championship Show just around the corner. Now in its tenth year, the show will be held in Long Beach, California, December 4 & 5.
To celebrate, Cirino's owner, Rich Hudgens, asked me to create portraits of this impressive Cane Corso befitting of the breed's character. For those of you who are wondering if this boy is one of the pups featured in an eariler post, he is not. He, however, has the same daddy. ; )
At just two-years-of-age, Cirino already is throwing his muscle around the show ring going Best of Breed over top-ranked specials. If they only knew; he's really a sweetheart. To that, I just have to muster my best English accent and say, "bully"--a compliment amongst fanciers of the breed.
