Leif has two UKC BIS wins as of June 20, 2009.

He is also a Multiple BOB, Multiple Group 1 winner and Multiple Group placer.

At 19 months old, we are very proud of our home-bred boy.

Leif is one of the puppies from our first liter of six; out of two-time Top Ten breed winner, UKC Gr Ch. Sugarok Teddy Bear and UKC Gr. Ch. Sugarok Tenacious. He did not enter the show ring formally until September 12th, 2008-at just under 10 months of age. He celebrated his first weekend at dog showing by earning his UKC Ch. and earning a spot in the UKC Top Ten for 2008. It was really exciting to have multiple judges validate what we have always believed about Leif--that he has enormous potential. Over and over, we had judges walk right up on his entrance to the ring, and start raving about his maturity and 'presence' for such a tender age. Leif is optimism and grace combined.

As of June 20, 2009, Leif has become #2 ranked Finnish Lapphund in the US to date, vying with his litter-sister Quinn for the top position in the country (UKC Top Ten) for 2009. They are currently separated by only 1 point. At 19 months of age, Leif has now won two Best In Show awards, numerous BOB's and Group 1 placements plus many other group placements.

LEIF is now a Grand Champion as of 3/21/09. AND so far, as of March 2009, is ranked the #1 UKC Finnish Lapphund for 2009.
