I always liked Molossian, massive, well-built dogs. I wanted a dog, which I could train, which will be physically and mentally suited to this. I chose the Cane Corso. The first dogs I saw on one of the Polish shows somewhat cooled my ardor. I would probably never have Cane Corso in the house, if I haven't seen the Italian newspapers and videos from the Italian rings, which I got with difficulty, where the dogs of my dreams appeared.
When I took home my first Cane Corso I was already assistant in the Kennel Club in dog training section. The more I was set to work with my dog. Zestful I wasn't disappointed - at my home I had the most intelligent dog I have ever met!
"Mega" (BROWN OMEGA Satysfakcja) - has awakened my love for this breed. Her character showed everything what I expected of Cane Corso dog: she was the best friend, a reliable keeper, a perfect companion for walks and plays. Although consciously chosen for training, she also did well on the show rings, and was the most successful bitch of the breed in Poland, multiply Club Winner, Polish Winner, Polish Champion. She was an important part of my life. Unfortunately, she's gone. However, thanks to her genes, she accompanies me every day - from her last litter I kept in the kennel "Zibi" (OMEGA BLUE Del-Orte). Other "Megi's" children and now grandchildren and great-grandsons bring me so much pride, joy and satisfaction scoring high on shows in Poland and abroad.
My first (but not the last) male was a yellow with black mask MAIKOL - a dog with an incredible mentality and defensive values. He joined me at the age of 2.5 years by a strange coincidence and like Mega confirmed me in belief, that Cane Corso - THIS IS IT!.
I raged and played with him at trainings and celebrated on the shows. MAIKOL as his life was the most successful dog of this breed in Poland.
Both: BROWN OMEGA and MAIKOL appear in the pedigrees of the puppies from Del-Orte kennel. It's them from which I started my adventure with Cane Corso and it's them I based my kennel on never regretting of it.
I have everything I expected, and even more!
I think that most of the breeders, regardless of breed raised, will agree with me that a good temperament, character and health are important in dog. Nobody needs a companion who is afraid of his own shadow, is aggressive or has health problems. Only good look of the dog will not add charm to the owner's life with such defects, no matter how beautiful the dog is. In such cases, there are no compromises. For this reason, I put the exterior on second place right after character and health.
This does not mean that I do not attach importance to the appearance of the dog - quite opposite! One does not exclude the other. The descendants of my dogs, dogs with the nickname of Del-Orte take part in shows, where an exterior is an essential part of judging. They often gain the top positions and awards. In trainings they are also great - they pass IPO and PT exams successfully.
In my thoughts, I see the exact image of my ideal Cane Corso and I hope that one day I'll see him among newborn puppies from Del-Orte kennel. I strive for that by enforcing my breeding plans.
I selects dogs for further breeding carefully, I bring puppies and studs from Italy, Russia, Serbia, Holland and more, I cooperate with other good kennels in Poland and abroad. I lend the excellent and proven studs, which have in their pedigrees outstanding representatives of the leading Italian line, allowing the Polish breeders to expand the gene pool.
All this in a concern for the good of this beautiful breed which Cane Corso Italiano is.
My breeding job and popularizing the breed, through participation in many shows, training courses and demonstrations and activities for dog breeding did not remain unnoticed.
As a dog training instructor I was organizing any type of training, tests, exams, PT, IPO courses and other, in which the Cane Corso also competed.
During many years of working for the Kennel Club in Poland, I was appreciated by the Kennel Club environment.
Board of the parent department gave me a "Diploma of Appreciation for activities for the good of dog breeding" and " Diploma of Appreciation for achievements in breeding " and the Main Board gave me the honor of wearing "Bronze Badge of the Polish Kennel Club".
But the most motivating rewards I receive from the owners of Cane Corso raised by me, who tell me that I gave them a unique dog, almost the ideal. The experience taken from the dogs training gives me the ability to satisfy the needs of potential buyers. I can properly assess the temperament and the exterior of the puppies and honestly inform the potential buyers about my opinion.
And that is why I found very good friends among the owners of puppies from my kennel. I wish that to all breeders.
These results and achievements motivate me to continue my work and breeding.
