Dylan, a Presa Canario specimen born in the Canary Islands, has been crowned Junior World Champion and Junior Italian Champion at the recent World Dog Show held in Bologna.

The young twelve-month-old dog, named Dylan, has achieved two significant awards at the prestigious international canine event. Bred by experts Magdalena Guedes and Rubén Sosa, from the Joyas del Atlántico kennel, Dylan has secured the titles of Junior Italian Champion and Junior World Champion.
The Canary Islands expedition, consisting of four Presa Canario specimens – a native breed of the Canary Islands and a genetic heritage of the islands – traveled to Bologna. The breeders covered over 16,000 kilometers by motorhome from San Sebastián to participate in this global competition.
In addition to Dylan's successes, two other specimens from the Canary Islands delegation also earned important titles. Carla, from Las Joyas del Atlántico, was crowned Italian champion in the female champions class, while N'Lisboa da Casa Nova do Río took the title in the intermediate female class.
