World Dog Show 2026, Bologna 🇮🇹
Another unforgettable World Dog Show journey is behind us. Over the decades, I have had the privilege of attending many major international dog shows around the world, which has given me plenty of opportunities for comparison.
The organization of the event was truly outstanding. Everything ran smoothly, schedules were respected, and the entire show was executed with great attention to detail. I have often said that one of the best World Dog Shows I have ever attended was held in Finland. However, this time I must give credit where credit is due. Italy succeeded in taking the event to a level I have never before experienced at a World Dog Show. Congratulations and sincere thanks to the Italian Kennel Club for an exceptional achievement.
There was also reason to celebrate in our own camp, as CurlyCo Sharp Dressed earned a new title during the trip and is now an Italian Champion. 🇮🇹🏆
The breed judging was interesting and brought its share of surprises. That is one of the things that makes our sport so fascinating—every show tells its own story, and no result should ever be taken for granted.
One of the greatest highlights of the trip was the opportunity to meet so many friends and familiar faces from around the world. Sharing ideas, exchanging experiences, learning about different breeds, and gaining new perspectives are among the reasons why these journeys remain so rewarding year after year.
And above all, a heartfelt thank you to my wonderful friends. Your support, companionship, and help both in and out of the ring made this trip possible. In the end, friendship is often the most valuable victory of all. ❤️
Congratulations to all the winners, and thank you to everyone who contributed to making this event such a memorable experienc
