JCH. Levi's Grand Black King Panther
For his very first appearance in the Intermediate Class, KING won his class and then went on to defeat the winner of the Open Dog Class — a class with seven males entered — to earn the CAC! What an incredible way to begin his adult career. I am so proud of this young boy and excited to see what the future holds for him!
Levi's Grand Jail House Rock — “ELVIS”
ELVIS was presented in the Champion Class, where he won his class and earned the GCAC. But he wasn't finished there: Best Dog — BD, Best of Breed — BOB, and in the main ring under judge Galyna Kalinichenko (Ukraine), an incredible Reserve Best in Show — R.BIS.
Among the Best of Breed winners representing the breeds at this huge FCI Group 1 show, my ELVIS stood there and achieved Reserve Best in Show. I honestly cannot put into words how proud I am of him.
Watching a dog born and bred at Levi's Grand achieve results like these is an incredible feeling. Years of dedication, careful breeding decisions, hopes, successes, disappointments, hard work and countless hours go into building a breeding program. Moments like this make every single one of them worthwhile. ❤️
