Beyond his very succesfull carreer (15 champion titles, included two FCI european championship) and his fantastic producing ability (sire of 25 champions in only 8 litters - probably a european record), Mario was the most lovely dog and easy to live with. He spend the half of his life in Moscow and came back to live with me in 2002 when his beloved owner Marina passed. I have always read in his eyes, until the end, how much he missed her. They are back together.
