Leo obtained his UKC Championship in one weekend at age 7 1/2 months, taking two Best Male major wins, two Best of Winners and one Best of Breed.  Then, at 14 months, he won Champion of Champions over 12 entries, Best of Breed, Group 1 and Best In Multi-Breed Show .  I didn't take him back out until 21 months, and he won four more Champion of Champions wins over 10 entries and 12 entries, and he obtained his Grand Champion title a month later.  He finished his AKC Championship out of the Bred-By classes at age 8 months, taking a Bred-By Group 1 and a Bred-By Group 4 in the process, which qualified him to compete in the 2005 AKC Eukanuba National Championship.  He also recently finished his International Championship with three consecutive V-1 ratings, the highest possible rating a judge can assign.  He loves the show ring! (even though he can be a goofball at times)

Leo has excellent structure and is agile and well-balanced.  His good front and rear angulation give him beautiful reach and drive, and his sound hocks and pasterns contribute to his correct, frictionless, single-tracking movement both front and rear.  He has a nice tailset with proper length of tail (which is always wagging), a handsome earset, and a  beautiful coat with that sparkly silver-tipped look.

Being a puppy (still!), of course he is very playful and energetic.  He loves to carry little squeaky toys around, even in the practice ring, and he never hesitates for a game of fetch.  He's also a great little traveler, no trouble at all, and is at ease and endlessly happy in the show ring just as he is at home.  And he loves everybody.
