My handler Heather Dowser tells people, “Outside the ring Leo is all fun and play but inside, he knows the difference between playtime and for real time,” but I like being with her because she’s comforting to be with and laughs at my jokes.
Group Judge Jim told Johnny, “Leo’s gait was so effortless and smooth, it was a pleasure to watch him move.”
I won Best in Group under Judge Jim Osborne, and Best Puppy in Group (Hound), Best of Breed (Saluki Hound), Best Puppy in Breed, and that all-important first First Place (‘from small acorns, mighty oaks grow,’ Aki sez).
Uncle Aki and I also met and had fun with our Saluki friends Taliah and Gabriel at this pre-season sanction match by the Ottawa Kennel Club.
