I attended the 38th INTERNATIONAL CACIB SHOW at Ancona and my formost thought was to watch the Shar Pei Specialty Judges by Mr. Marto Steinbacher from Austria and with 24 Shar Pei in the ring.
I decided that my first report to the World press association should be about my favourite breedÉ Shar Pei. I attended the 38th International CACIB Show at Ancona and my foremost thought was to watch the Shar Pei Specialty judged by Mr. Marto Steinbacher from Austria and with 24 Shar Pei in the ring.
I was surprised to see that there were only 6 males entered and all the other entries were females! I learned that there were so many females because they are many females in Italy which need a CAC from a Specialty Show to acquire their Italian championship.
All the dogs had quality and I have to say that the Italian Shar Pei club is doing a very good job and it is very well organized.
The results are:
Males
Open Class:
1st MargemÕs Just the Keebler Elf - an American dog with very good lines.
2nd Erhu MularoniÕs Haouse
3rd Takashi MularoniÕs House
4th Muaddhib Del Settimo Sigillo
Junior class:
1st Chancjs Gru Listen to me sweetly
2nd Chancjs Gru Bad Boy
Females
Open Class:
1st Epics Azzura - Also an American dog and in my opinion the best blue female shar pei that I have ever seen.
2nd Angelika Della Pagoda Blu
3rd Bea Del Settimo Sigillo
Junior class:
1st China Town Del Settimo Sigillo
2nd Bobaocha MularoniÕs House
3rd Khambaliq Pianka
4th Khambaliq Lunatica Loving Well
puppy class
1st Uma of the Crease of Wisdom
2nd Peggy Del Settimo Sigillo
Speaking to the judge, he advised me that selecting the Best of Breed was a very difficult decision. The best male and the best female were both wonderful dogs but in the end, he gave the BOB to the male, MargemÕs Just the Keebler Elf, and best opposite sex to Epics Azzura (who with this CAC became an Italian champion).
