Mr. Filippini was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1946. He started his canine activity in the Argentine dog clubs 30 years ago. His experience in purebred dogs began with the breeding and exhibition of Boxers, followed by Miniature Pinschers, Borzois and Italian Greyhounds. He achieved many high honors with his Miniature Pinschers in South America and Europe. His kennel produced Bests in Show and numerous Champions in different breeds.
He later introduced more breeds into his kennel for breeding and exhibition -- Afghan Hounds, English Cocker Spaniels, Dobermans, Chihuahuas (both varieties), Fox Terriers (Wire and Smooth), Salukis, Maltese, Chow Chows, Yorkshire Terriers, Chinese Shar-Peis and Shih Tzus, with which he obtained great success. Several of his "Alba's Imperial" Kennel Shih Tzus won Bests of Breed and Best Dog of the Year.
He has been qualified "Best Breeder" and "Best Exhibitor" of all breeds in 1979, 1980, 1984 and 1989, becoming the first breeder to obtain such honors for four times in his country.
