It was a title we greatly desired , with few events in Brazil , the first being held in 2019 , we had a pandemic to make everything cooler ! Then we had a big break !
Batman went for the first time at the age of 5 months to an ADBA sanctioned event in Rio de Janeiro where the judge was Mr . Hank Greenwood , thus achieving a first in his class and his first steps in ADBA .
The events returned in 2022 and we headed to the Northeast of Brazil in Aracati Ceará . There we got a Best of Opposite Sex and a Best of Show with Jacki Jones and Marcello Victor .
With just one event per year , our points took a while to add up . But in 2023 , we were able to participate in two shows in Teresina where we achieved a Best of Show with Chico Perez . Then in São Paulo we won a large class with more than 10 dogs and a Best of Show with judges Luigi Bezzi and Andy Seguss , thus adding up the missing points for the much-desired title of Champion !
The first in the history of Brazil to be consecrated within our country !
