Fashion Poodle Giselle (Apricot Toy Poodle), she becomes Young Italian Champion, and in just 6 dogs show graduated Italian Champion.
Josephine Baker Della Grifunera (Brown Toy Poodle), winning two double CACIB in Malta at the International Dog Show becomes Maltese and International Champion.
The same Aresvuma Akina Aimara (Rhodesian Ridgeback) in Malta  at the International Dog Show becomes Maltese Champion.
Also in 2014 we started a new adventure with the Lhasa Apso, bringing in the ring two beautiful subjects Happydale rì-Gogo, a young male (formerly Young Italian Champion) who gave us strong emotions and finished in the top three of some groups and winning in Torino the two days with a lot several Lhasa arrived from France and Italy, and Happydale Kang-Taiga, young female she need a single national dog show for become Italian Champion.
