As the hosts of the Northwest Working Dogs Expo, we are pleased to introduce our crew to you. We are:

VIRGINIA DUNN
Virginia is the founder of Bella Rosa Cane Corsos, and our team leader. She is a breeder of champion Cane Corsos. She is also a Canine Good Citizen Evaluator, ATTS Tester, PDI Certified Judge, the director of Protection Dogs International for the Oregon Region, and President of the NW for the S.A.C.C.I. (Society in America for the Cane Corso Italiano). Virginia is a strong advocate of natural rearing, and teaches dog owners about raw feeding and cooking for their dogs. She is also committed to helping special needs children through the use of dogs and horses. Virginia spent many years in the rescue and rehab of pitbulls. Her short-term goal is to fight against breed-specific legislation by providing CGC and ATTS testing to many bully breeds in the NW. Long term, Virginia hopes to develop a program to help survivors of domestic violence by providing them with trained personal protection dogs.

RICK COLDWELL
Rick is a breeder of rare South African Boerboels and the owner of CK Boerboels & Dog Training. He is a founding member of PDI and a certified Level III Decoy. Rick loves to decoy and do protection training. He is passionate about educating and encouraging people to work and train their dogs and is actively involved in all types of protection work. Rick is willing to work with any breed to help them be the best they can be. To that end, Rick brings in trainers from varying disciplines, to provide a balanced learning experience to dog owners.

BRADLEY LARIOS
Bradley is our conformation show handler, and our equipment fabricator. At 14, Bradley has shown several of our Cane Corsos and helped to achieve their championship titles. Bradley also owns Brad's Big Bully Dog Leads, and makes beautiful leather dog leashes, from which he donates part of the proceeds to programs that benefit autistic children. Brad is also our video technical advisor! Bradley wants autistic kids to know they can do anything they set their minds to.
