Samba also went Reserve Best in Show, third overall in show/bronze medal, and Best in Show under renown International Judges Louis Ortiz, Zoran Brankovic and Anna Brankovic respectively. At the end of the day, MBA counts up points for total dogs defeated and Samba came out on top to receive the TOP DOG in SHOW trophy!!!

Samba was born on August 26, 2001. She has accomplished much, with ICCF, Rarities, IABCA and MBA championships, and needing only one more point to complete her ARBA championship. We first saw Samba at the 2002 ARBA Cherry Blossom when, as a 9 month old puppy, she took a 5 point major Best of Opposite Sex (BOS) win. At that show, she was also declared "Winners Bitch" and "Best of Winners" on the day of the ICCF National Specialty show. This was a huge win for such a young dog, given that some of the best of what is out there in North America typically congregates once a year for the ICCF National Specialty. Samba's win certainly got our attention.as well as the attention of many other breeders and owners. 9 Months 2.5 Years What Samba represented to us was perhaps one of the finest examples of an outcross between Italian and American-bred lines. Her Sire is Dutch import Bioynics Noe di Liano, whom many in North America believe passes on one of the finest "Italian style" heads that exists. Noe is out of the famous Cerberus lines in Italy. Samba's mother is Bel Monte Samba. 1 Year 2.5 Years The results of this breeding are obvious. Samba possesses a truly beautiful "Italian style" head. She has an extremely short, wide muzzle, due to her undershot bite, which measures approximately 1/8" under-shot. The planes of her skull are beautiful, as well as the bone structure of the fore skull and head. She is very tight in the corners of the mouth, with very little dew lap. Samba possesses a very strong top line, which stays strong and even, when in motion. Like Caesar, Samba demonstrates one of the finest rear ends we have seen on a female Cane Corso. Her rear is thickly muscled, with a wonderful degree of angulation. Her rear movement is also ideal, as she moves with power and drive, in a straight line. 3 Years Samba's front is also straight and very strong. She has very nice front reach of movement, which is the result of a very nice front shoulder layback. She is extremely athletic and agile, with boundless energy and drive. Her temperament is very stable, and she is very friendly to other animals. She is an "alpha" female, and will dominate any female dog that she spends any time around. 2 Years Samba is approximately 23 ½ inches in height, and weighs approximately 95 pounds   Click on Photo to Enlarge Puppy Dog   Show Dog May 2004, Best In Show, Molosser Breeders Association, Lockport, NY May 2004, Best of Breed, Molosser Breeders Association, Lockport, NY May 2004, Best of Breed, Molosser Breeders Association, Lockport, NY May 2004, Reserve Best in Show, Molosser Breeders Association, Lockport, NY 1 Year 2 Year 2.5 Year   Advertisements   Healthy Dog
