| CH. Kikapoo's Dragonheart 'LiRic "Drago" "Drago" is my second champion and third showdog. I handled him to all his points (except the last major) including a 5point major at a specialty weekend. His last 4 pointmajor he was handled by handler Jim Tilford at a specialty weekend and the next day was BOS over several top ranked, multi group placing and winning, AOM Specials. We were very thrilled. Drago is now a Multi Best of Breed winner, owner-handled. |
| CH. LiRic Kikapoo Coor's Cutter "Cutter" "Cutter" is my third champion but more exciting my FIRST HOMEBRED CHAMPION. I handled him to his first 4 point major as a 13 month old puppy at a specialty weekend. Unfortunately due to my own health issues at that time, I had to inlist the help of a handler and Jim Tilford did an excellent job obtaining "Cutters" second 4 point major by winning BOB over top ranked Specials from the classes (Pictured above practicing at a match after a year taken off to mature). Cutter is now neutered and living in Dallas as a couch potatoe. |
| Shichi-LiRic Bo's Fifth OPR "BO" "BO" is shown here winning Reserve Winners dog at the first LSAC Specialty. Bo was only thirteen months old and this was his very first show. I am proud to be his breeder-handler. "Bo" has 4 points, however he is the RESERVE KING when it comes to majors. I feel this is largely in part to his markings. Bo now lives in California. |
| Kikapoo's Lucky Charm "Charm" "Charm" is a very sweet girl. I did breeder-owner handle her from the bred-by class for quite some time managing to put her first three point major and several singles on her. Along the way she won BOS over a AOM winning and Group placing bitch special. |
| CH. Stardust Got MusicNMe 'LiRic "Music" "Music" is my fourth champion and first bitch champion. She hopefully will be my foundation bitch....time will tell. I ownerhandled Music to all her points and her first major....her co-owner/breeder and my good friend Teresa Witte handled her for her last major. |
| LiRic's Fire N'Desire "Dezi" "Dezi" is shown here with Bridgett, my daughter. Bridgett is 'Dezi's primary handler and is shown here winning BOS. Keep an eye out for Bridgett and Dezi in the rings to finish her championship. |

| CH. Shichi's Nomo No-No 'LiRic, CGC "Mo" "Mo" was our first show akita and FIRST CHAMPION. I learned alot with him, however he was a "pushbutton" show dog...born to show with a natural show attitude. Basically he made me look good...LOL. I owner handled him to back-to-back three point majors and he also earned a Group 2 from the classes, ALL owner handled. He is the one that hooked me on DogShows. |
| Shichi-LiRic Miz Fancy Pants "Tushka" "Tushka" was our second show akita. She also was a natural showman (girl) though a little more laided back than her half brother "Mo". Her first points were at just barely 6 months of age. She was a lot of fun, unfortunately we were not able to finish her as she came down with an autoimmune disease where she lost all her pigment before we could get that last major on her. |
| Stardust RedSky At Night 'LiRic "Sky Jr" Bridgett handled Sky Jr to his first points, a 3 point major, at the Calcasieau Kennel Club show on June 7, 2003. Here she is shown handling him in the Working Puppy Group Competition against top handlers with awesome puppy competition to go on to Win a Working Puppy Group ONE!! Congrats to Bridgett and Sky Jr. Breed Judge: Mrs Judy Doniere Group Judge: Mr Houston Clark |
