The name of Lanzarote resonates strongly again in the national cynology scene. The National and International Exhibitions of Murcia, held on November 7 and 8, have been the scene of a new success for two extraordinary specimens of Presa Canario: Guadaneth Gofio and Rofe de Guadaneth, owned by Azarías and Laureano Álvarez.
Two dogs, two generations, and the same passion that have made this weekend another memorable page for the Presa Canario of Lanzarote.
Gofio, unstoppable: Super Top Winner in Murcia
Guadaneth Gofio continues to demonstrate why he has become one of the main protagonists of his breed. After an extraordinary international season, in which he has won championships and awards in different European countries, Gofio returned to the Spanish rings to once again demonstrate his quality.
On Saturday he obtained the qualification of Excellent 1st in the open class and CAC, while on Sunday he once again prevailed in his class, achieving Excellent 1st, CAC, CACIB, and Best Opposite Sex (BOS). As a crowning achievement, Gofio also received the recognition of Super Top Winner of the weekend in Murcia, culminating another outstanding performance. A new success that adds to his impressive international career, with titles obtained in countries such as Portugal, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Hungary, Croatia, and Slovenia.
Rofe, the new generation that is making a strong impression
But Murcia has also witnessed the evolution of another of the great promises of the Presa Canario: Rofe de Guadaneth. Just a week after his spectacular performance in Jaén, where he was proclaimed Spanish Junior Champion, Rofe once again showed that his projection is not a matter of chance.
Competing already in the intermediate class, on Saturday he obtained Excellent 1st, while on Sunday he again achieved Excellent 1st and CAC, confirming his excellent evolution and his ability to compete at the highest level. Rofe is also the son of the legendary Covadonga de Fencing Dogs, one of the most emblematic and award-winning specimens in the history of the Presa Canario, a legacy that continues to write new pages of success.
A story of family, sacrifice, and love for the Presa Canario
Behind these results there is much more than trophies, titles, and classifications. There are years of selection, breeding, personal sacrifices, kilometers traveled, sleepless nights, and a dedication that is passed down from generation to generation.
The career of Laureano Álvarez, linked for decades to the world of the Presa Canario, finds continuity today in his son Azarías Álvarez, who shares ownership of both specimens and keeps alive a family passion deeply tied to Lanzarote. The work of preparing and presenting the dogs, along with the commitment of the entire team, once again bears fruit in one of the important events on the national cynological calendar.
"The titles are important, but what is truly exciting is seeing how so many years of work, sacrifice, and love for this breed continue to bear fruit. Seeing my son continue this path and realizing that our dogs compete and stand out both inside and outside of Spain is a pride that is difficult to explain. Behind every victory there is a story, a family, and a passion that has never faded," highlights Laureano Álvarez.
Lanzarote, land of great Presa Canarios
These new successes once again highlight the extraordinary potential of the Presa Canario bred in Lanzarote and the work of those who have spent decades defending, selecting, and promoting one of the most representative breeds of the Canary Islands. From the environment of the Lanzarote Club of the Presa Canario, this new performance is celebrated as another reason for pride for fans and lovers of the breed.
Gofio and Rofe represent two different stages, but they share the same objective: to demonstrate that from a small island in the Atlantic one can compete with the best and achieve the highest recognition. Because when behind a dog there is history, work, passion, and heart, successes cease to be coincidences.
And this weekend, once again, Lanzarote has left its mark in Murcia.
