This event is about learning about the breed from experienced Canarian and Spanish judges; Finding out if your dog "has what it takes" as well as seeing what's out there in this country.

I WANT TO THANK ALL THE CLUB OFFICIALS,CARLA AND STEVEN WALKER, RANDY GREEN , JENNIFER CHANDLER AND MOST OF ALL JUDGE FELIPE ALBERTO LlANO P....FOR A GREAT SHOW AND THE MOST SATISIFYING WIN ....... JOHN AND DOREEN PEPONAKIS
From attendee Jeffrey Batiste:
While I know most on this board really make sure to distinguish between the 2types and don't care for Dogo's; I thought it was great that these guys put it together and I participated knowing that my dog in their eyes was probably gonna be too small. That said I had a good time and met some Dog people that really loved their dogs... It was a good time!
From previous attendee Johnny of GreJon Kennels:
Duke your experience mirrors the ones I have had attending MonoG. It is a good time and the organizers are very welcoming. Even people who have no business being treated nicely because of the hate they spew on the boards are treated respectfully. I'd attend MonoG any time I could squeeze it into my schedule.
The largest presa show in the Americas
