Thank you for sharing the video with me.

An amazing event and performance by both you and Branco. I had goosebumps the whole time I was watching it, and actually cried at the end when you were hugging Branco.

You must be so proud to have been there to represent the USA as one of the best trainers/competitors/breeders in the country.

Your closing quote about the dog being a reflection of his master is so true, one can only hope to be able the handle their dog, train their dog,

love their dog and to it with the utmost respect, class, compassion and skill as you always do. Amazing.....

You are "simply the best"

Hey Carlos, that was some fantastic obedience work. The only deduction I saw, was on the meter jump it sounded like he touched the jump, but I wasn't there so I may be wrong. You should have scored higher, but in the end it was an event to be proud of. I liked the moment with Branco there at the end. You've had a long run with him and you must be proud to retire him on such a high note. I'd enjoy watching the routine with you sometime if you'd like and you can better describe it.

Hey Carlos,

CONGRATULATIONS to your super showing at the FCI worlds. Way to go man, you guys did awesome!! His 10 puppies are proud of DAD and want to be just like him and Mommy Yara plus the other her progeny also want to be like “uncle Branco”!!!

You can be proud of yourself and the old man!!

Talk to you soon,

Carlos, I am as proud of you as one can be. The dedication and hard work you put into your sport and your dogs should be a model for us all.

What makes your accomplishments so special for me is, you do it with love. You truly love your dogs.

There not just a tool to get you where you want to go. They are a part of your family and a big part of who you are.

Keep up the good work

Hi Carlos, Ai and Branco,

Congratulations!!!! I had tears in my eyes when I checked the website on Sept 4^th, Friday and saw you and Branco’s name. Please keep us in loop about any NJ, PA events coming. I am very busy, still unpacked in new place but I haven’t seen Dante so relaxed for long time and I love the place too.

Cheers….

Agnes

O.M.G. THAT DEFINITELY WAS THE EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME! I AM SURE THE PICTURES (AS WONDERFUL AS THEY ARE) DIDN'T DO JUSTICE TO ACTUALLY BEING THERE WITH ALL YOU SAW AND DID. THAT VIDEO OF YOU AND BRANCO IS PRICELESS. WHAT A WONDERFUL SHOWING AND A FANTASTIC PAIR YOU BOTH ARE. KUDO'S OF THE VERY HIGHEST TO YOU, THE DOGS, THE TEAM AND THE MEMORIES YOU WILL HAVE FOREVER,

THANK YOU,

DEAN & JAZZY

Hey Carlos, thank you and congratulations. It was a real pleasure to watch. Your dog looked terrific! I know he did you proud and I know what you do is no easy task. Again congratulations from me, Jesse, and everyone at Ace Pet Supplies. I think we need another picture.

Congratulations, Carlos and Branco! You Have a Lot to Be Proud of…We are very proud of you and Branco with everything you have accomplished… You're someone who deserves the good things that happen -- and I have a feeling that there are a lot more good things in store for you!

Doreen Rutherford

Nice job. I am happy for Carlos. He is a good trainer.

Matthew Ford

Carlos, hats off to you and Branco for the outstanding job you two did in representing America at this event. You did everyone who knows you and trains with you proud. Us weekend warriors can only hope for a fraction of the proficiency you possess when it comes to training, handling and reading dogs. You make it look easy my friend and that is the beauty of it all -- your feelings and love for your sport companion really shows.
