With great pleasure and honor, I want to share this outstanding information that Kiaraa Spunk Gang is the best and #1 Cane Corso in New Zealand for 2022! In 17 shows, she won 11 times best of breed, 5 times reserve best of breed, and once BEST OF GROUP!

New Zealand’s pure breed dog community, the organization in charge of scoring purebred dogs at shows there. They made it official that Kiaraa is the #1 Cane Corso in New Zealand and this confirmation you can find out at this link.

Let’s take a short view of 2022 and see how Kiaraa becomes the best Cane Corso.

She arrived in New Zealand at the end of January 2022 while she still was a Cane Corso puppy at a young age. Her fantastic owner, our friend Amanda Palmer, gave her enough time to adaptation and did not rush with her. She did everything slowly and with excellent timing. Prepared her for the shows, as Kiaraa’s show potential and exterior quality are fantastic. 

The very first show for Spunk Gang Cane Corso and registered result by Dogzonline was in October 2022. When the points she won started counting. We didn’t even hope she will finish the championship and become the Cane Corso champion in beauty in New Zealand for 2022, in such a short time, also in October. 

The biggest win, the thing we did not even dream about, came at the end of December. On the championship show Cambridge Kennel Association (Nth). Kiaraa Spunk Gang, next to BEST OF BREED, won BEST OF GROUP under the very experienced and reputable judge Ms. Deborah Ninness (New Zealand)

She is the only Cane Corso in New Zealand in 2022 who won the Best of the group!

On January 7th, 2023, Dogzonline confirmed and issued diplomas. Diplomas confirm Kiaraa is the #1 and best Italian Corso dog in New Zealand, and North Island..

Imagine this success with only 3 months of showing, we can not wait and see what 2023 will bring us.
