“Baby Beauty is a very lovely dog. She is very possessive about her loved ones. She is very obedient, loving and caring and is like a family member,” said canine lover Ayesha Sultana Hopley of Coronation Kennels, Bengaluru.

Ayesha also had brought Shih tzu, Siberian husky and English cocker spaniel along with Neapolitan mastiff, who hogged the limelight at the show, which will continue till Sunday.

“Neapolitan mastiff is a very special breed not only because of its large appearance, but is also a perfect guard dog for a family. This breed can live in apartments in cities, but must be taken out for walks regularly,” said Ayesha, who has already participated in over 100 dog shows with her pets since past six years.

Ethical breeding of canines

Karavali Canine Club secretary Prasad Aithal said the main aim of the club is to promote ethical breeding of canines.

“Ethical breeding and registration of canines are our major objectives. Dog shows help people understand the significance of ethical breeding and also provide platform for canine lovers to share views. Interested people in Mangaluru are getting an opportunity to see rare breeds of dogs,” he added.

Heather Morrison from Australia, Stanley Sim from Singapore, T Preetham from Bengaluru and D Krishna Murthy from Coimbatore are judging show, said Prasad.

Ganesh Kumar Salian, member of Karavali Canine Club, said the dog show has given an opportunity to the Mangalureans to see and learn more about dogs.

“The main aim of the dog show is to discourage inbreeding and promote ethical breeding,” said Salian, who has two German shepherds and a doberman in his house in Mangaluru.
