Shakira Di Casa Caputi
BH, AD, KKL, IGP1


Overview:
There’s something magnetic about Shakira di Casa Caputi — a harmony between strength and softness that draws quiet admiration. Over-medium in size yet refined in outline, she radiates nobility through every feature: a beautifully chiseled head, dark intelligent eyes, and a firm, straight back that anchors her effortless movement. Her confidence is understated — a balance of grace and grounded assurance.
At 59 cm and about 65 pounds, Shakira embodies the perfect ratio of substance to elegance. The SV survey describes her as full of type and expression, with strong, dry muscles and good ligament firmness. Every stride reveals a free, powerful gait with remarkable ground coverage — energy translated into poetry. Well-angulated front and rear, balanced chest, tight feet, and rich pigment complete the picture of structural harmony without extremes.
​
What the eye sees in structure, the heart feels in temperament. Shakira’s character assessment painted her as benignant, balanced, and self-confident. She faced loud sounds, strange surfaces, and isolation with poise and curiosity. Calm under pressure, intense in play, and attentive in focus — she doesn’t just react to the world, she reads it.
There’s quiet poetry in her steadiness. Under pressure, she remains composed and self-assured — her confidence turning inward rather than outward. Even alone, she shows herself open and free, revealing the kind of trust and clarity that defines great temperaments. Her show record under ACOA Ecuador mirrors her consistency — from VV1 to SG1 placements under judges like Harald Hohmann, Christoph Ludwig, and Robert Lang. Each appearance reaffirms the same truth: Shakira’s beauty isn’t just bred; it’s earned.
​
Among her peers, Shakira stands out not because she tries to — but because she can’t help it. Shakira has the wow factor — quiet greatness, grace under scrutiny, and the kind of presence that lingers long after she’s left the ring.
