Cleo di Casa

Masarelli: Staying

on Top of the Game

Over the past years, the herding group in the dog show industry has been more competitive than ever -- each breed
being represented by top-notch dogs that have fl awless statures that can easily capture the hearts of judges. Despite the increasing
competition of the herding group, the German Shepherd breed never fails to succeed. One of the top German shepherds of the
Philippines, Cleo Di Casa Masarelli continues to stand out and shine.

Since her legendary debut in the 2015 Philippine Circuit Dog Show, Cleo continues to work hard as she trains every morning
with her handlers and joins various dog show competitions all year round. Her achievements in the dog show industry are recognized
both locally and internationally. By far, she is the German Shepherd dog that has the most best in show titles to have ever graced in the
Philippine Circuit Dog Show. Cleo has also bagged a number of titles including the National Siegerin in various Landesgruppen shows
and being a Hall of Famer in the PCCI. In addition to this, Cleo continues to soar high in the dog show rankings. She is currently the
third top national dog of 2017 as well as the top dog of the Cavite Canine Club rankings as of 2017.

Having been in the Philippines for four years, Cleo continues to be under the care and supervision of Dr. Pablo R. Olivarez, the
owner of the Team El Kapitan Kennel. Cleo’s origin is in Italy, belonging to the Masarelli Kennel. The Masrelli clan continues to breed
top German shepherd dogs and is widely recognized for producing national and world German shepherd champions. Before coming
to the Philippines, Cleo also proved her true worth by bagging the VA1 title in Italy.

For 2018, Cleo will continue to join the dog show competitions and will always present herself as the fearless and powerful
German Shepherd that has continuously made her mark in the Philippine dog show industry since 2014. With her achievements and
titles, Cleo certainly has set the standards high not only for the herding group, but for dog show competitions in general.
