Last Sunday, the monographic competition of the Presa Canario was held in Mancha Blanca, qualifying for the Club Championship, in which Breed Confirmations were also carried out.
From the Lanzarote Club of the Presa Canario they wanted to "thank the essential support for the development of our objective, which is none other than the fight for our breed and particularly to Antonio Morales of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries of Exmo. Cabildo Insular in addition to Luis Miguel Pérez and Sara Acuña from their respective councils of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries and Youth of the City Council of Tinajo, for their personal support to the event and presence in it".
On this occasion, and with the aim of innovating in the celebration of these events, we had the collaboration of the Sara Animal and Plant Protector. In addition, we were able to enjoy the canine exhibitions of Empiredog Spain with César Arroyo, the Lanzarote Hunters Society with their Canarian hounds, Angel who delighted us with the presentation of his Bardinos Majoreros as well as Alejandro representing the Spanish Association of the Garafiano Shepherd Dog with his champion of Spain who overflowed elegance throughout the ring. Finally, Noemí also participated with her Herreño Wolfhound puppy who completed the canine group of all our breeds with her sympathy.
In this "dog day" nothing was missing, from the exhibitions of both obedience and smell of the dogs led by Cesar, which captivated the audience, passing through the different competitions for dogs without breed with popular judges and that sowed sympathy and good vibes in the Ring of the exhibition, to the presentation of puppies for adoption presented not only by Sara but also by the municipal kennel of Tinajo, together with the central competition of the Presa Canario and the sprinkling of all the native Canarian breeds made this day a special day.
Another aspect to highlight, faithful to the program for the development of our project, has been the taking of blood samples from different Canarian breeds for further study in order to create a database with which we hope to discover differentiating aspects that allow us to make a difference in our project "The New Era of the Presa Canario" of the Lanzarote Club of the Presa Canario that we started since 2014.
"Finally, focusing on the Monographic of the Presa Canario Mancha Blanca 2016, we could not forget D. Pedro Ruiz, Judge of the exhibition, who actively collaborated not only in the trials, something normal in an exhibition, but knew how to take the microphone and explain his decisions, which demonstrates a brave attitude while teaching what we are precisely promoting from the Club, that the public becomes an expert when assessing an authentic Presa Canario", they point out from the Club.
