Cane Corso Dog Names

The Cane Corso was granted full recognition by the American Kennel Club (AKC) in 2010. However, the United Kennel Club (UKC) granted full recognition in 2008 under the breed name Cane Corso Italiano. In 2017, a Cane Corso named Royal, or more formally Black Pearl Guardiano Dei Reali made history. He earned a place in the UKC’s Top Dog finals for all breeds. Royal was ranked #3 out of all UKC recognized breeds. Royal was born on October 28, 2015 and has several titles and special wins credited to his name. He is an AKC champion, UKC grand champion, IABCA International champion and was named the #1 Cane Corso in 2017 for UKC. Royal also has won best in show multiple times at UKC sanctioned dog shows. In 2016 and 2017 he was the best of breed winner at the Society in America for Cane Corso Italiano (SACCI) specialty show. Royal also has several performance titles attached to his name including therapy dog international (TDI), AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC), AKC coursing ability (CAA), AKC trick dog and UKC SPOT. 

This exceptional Cane Corso is also a blood donor. Royal is the son of the 2014 World Champion winner, Dorian Gerassi Corso or Allora for short. Royal was born at Black Pearl Kennel owned by Ayalla and Erez Ruvio in Williamston, Michigan. The Ruvios are registered with the AKC as Cane Corso Breeders of Merit and are also members of the AKC’s Bred with H.E.A.R.T. program because they also perform all health testing for the breed. Royal was shown by Lihi Ruvio, daughter of the Ruvios. He earned his UKC championship at just seven months of age. At just nine months old, Royal earned his AKC Canine Good Citizenship. He earned his Therapy Dog International at just 18 months old. Aside from his conformation and performance career, Royal also regularly visits the staff at the Michigan State University Veterinary Hospital where he donates blood. Currently, Royal is in training for his IPO title. IPO stands for Internationale Prufungs-Ordnung and is formerly known as Schutzhund Protection Training. In order for a dog to earn their IPO title, they must pass three different phases: tracking, obedience, and protection. When Royal is not training or working, he loves playing games with the Ruvios son and daughter. His favorite toy is a basketball. For Royal, it seems the sky is the limit and he is only a young dog.
