My name is Cristina Cozza and since when I was a child I grew up with dogs . My family taught me to love and respect them and with my dogs I created an unbreakable bond . The name “TELCHINES” comes from my old Giant Schnauzer. With them I had a lot of satisfaction in show and work (Utility and Defense) Breed has never been my job but has always been my true and big passion. In my working life I am Ceo of Leaderform, my company. A work that takes up much of my time, but I never taken the time to my dogs, wich I consider part of my family and with the few litters I have done during 20 years , I have always tried to select carefully without forgetting character and morphology. MILVA Von Der Hohen Ward – JahreSieger Auslese – International Champion – Italian Champion – Austria Champion – German Champion – Sch H3 – IPO 3 – HD 0 – EyeChecked Free Regarding the character I have attended since 1983 and for many years the training camps and worked with my dogs in utility and defense (Sch h1 -2 -3 Ipo 1 – 2 – 3) About Expo among the most recognized ttles my Giang Schnauzer have earned titles of Bundessieger, Europasieger, Vdh Sieger, Italian Ch., International Ch. , Austria Ch., Jahresieger Auslese, Ch. South Africa, many BOB, Bog and many others including a Best in Show at Bundessieger . I was in charge of the Membership , in Working Trials Committee and the Executive Council of the Italian Schnauzer Club . A period of time very intense and constructive during which I had a way to grow, surrounded by people who still respect very much . From my side , I also hope to have brought my small contribution to the improvement of the breed during this period . I attended many courses with the sole aim to better understand the behavior of my dogs. Among the last courses, that I feel I have been very useful , a Master Canine Behavior and one in Low Stress Handling in English language. I’m an APDT Professional Member and IAABC Supporting. In 2002 I left the dog world for a period because of my job that I do not let me more time to follow my dogs as I wanted . Then one day I met the Staffordshire Bull Terrier and it was love at first sight. Bold, Fearless and Totally Reliable! . There are no better words to describe it. When my last Giant Schnauzer died, I began to inquire , to study the blood lines , making contacts , and in February 2013 came my first Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Every day I learn from them and with them something new . Carry forward the name Telchines is my goal and I hope that the Staffy who will arrive in my family will be proud to pass on the name.
