Hello from Georgia,
WOW !! That is one good looking trophy. I hope that the dog that wins will make the trophy pale in comparison. As a working Corso owner and lover, I look forward to seeing which Corso is the best of the best. Keep us posted !!

Hi Karin,
With your event being SO close to us this year, I have a thought to come up and see how the Corso's party. However, I've been to events at this location before, and recently people have started charging an admission fee. Will the SACCI be doing that?
Have you been to this location before, or have you seen any pictures of it? It's nice having rubber floors, but can get crowded quick because it's a bit small, and you will probably only get 1 ring in there if you have a lot of dogs. There's a lot of room to walk around outside in, but the parking can get crowded too. This is one reason I haven't used it for any presa events yet. If you have any professional or somewhat professional photographers coming you should warn them...the white walls and small windows make it difficult for the cameras. We attended the Working Mollosser event there earlier this year, and unfortunately had to dump a lot of photos because they couldn't focus in that light. So tell your photog's to brins all their gear
I'm linking a few photos for you from that last event so you can get an idea if you haven't see in yet. Inside looking towards the front door (only door in or out of this area)
You have to watch out for the white walls and the painted black dogs on it..See how graiiny the first picture looks? We aren't professionals, but we did invest in a decent camera, and we weren't the only ones with good cameras having trouble.
thanks for your input and experience, I will pass it on to the photog. ( yes, we did hire a professional) We are not charging admission, just entry fees, come on down!

I saw this thing today in person, and this picture does NOT do it justice! Since I do the ordering for our club's shows, I know you guy's spent a pretty penny on this thing...you have the logo on top, the cup is engraved AS WELL AS the base! Makes me wish I had a Corso to show! This thing is going to need two hands. Wish I could be there tomorrow to see who gets to lug it home LOL

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
