UCH Alue's When Luck Comes

Group Placing

Santiago was Timon, black collar boy in our Kovu x Harper litter. He is co-owned with Lenny and resides in Wisconsin. He will be shown UKC and may play around in the AKC rings as well, so keep an eye out for him in both venues! 
Santiago is a little lover boy who loves to cuddle with his people and wrestle with every dog he meets! He's a fabulous little sidekick who can roll with the punches with a wagging tail.
He is a lovely refined boy with moderate, balanced angulation. He takes after his mother a lot with lighter bone, light movement, and a lovely headpiece with beautiful chiseling and lovely dark pigment. We expect big things out of this boy and can't wait to see what the future holds! 

Santiago's Pedigree
Santiago's Betterbred
Santiago's OFA - he currently does not have any testing done
Santiago is clear by parentage of all genetic diseases including day blindness, but will be tested for PRA RCD4 as Harper is a carrier

Lenny and Santiago attended their first AKC big kid shows the day Iago turned 6 months old!! Lenny sent me some videos and Santiago was just having the time of his life playing show dog, and we love a happy puppy. His first experience in the ring was fabulous and while he didn't pull off any big wins, he pranced and bucked around the ring with a happy face and a wagging tail and that's all we can ask for out of our puppies. I am so proud of this owner handler team and cannot wait to see what's in store for them.

    SANTIAGO FINISHED HIS CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

The first day of Premier Nationals, I handled Santiago to his UKC Championship by winning his class and going Best Male!! I cried a little bit, it was just so special to me. We now have two of the three show boys from our first litter titled! He was a total turd with me; it was his first big show, first time being handled by me, and he was a stinker! The judge even said "he's goofy, but he's a nice dog!" and I couldn't agreed more! On Saturday Santiago made the cut in a double digit Champion class and on Sunday Lenny was able to handle him and they were a fabulous team!! I can't wait to see what is next for this team.
