Kuyu earned his AKC Lure Coursing Field Championship on March 21, 2015.  Like his mom Kayta, his dad Kanzu and his littermate sister Kaia he is an intense lure courser.  He loves nothing more than to chase the bunnies.  His intensity and enthusiasm make him well-known (dare I say infamous) among the human lure coursing community here in southern California as it can take more than one experienced handler to get Kuyu to the line and off the bags.  Many thanks are owed to all the friends who have helped get Kuyu to and from the line so this title was possible.  With this new FC title combined with his AKC Conformation title (CH), Kuyu becomes an AKC Dual Champion (DC). SoCalCoursing awards a lovely medallion for a new FC.  This medallion was especially sentimental and meaningful for us since one of the 3 dogs on the medallion is Kuyu’s dad, Kanzu running back in his prime.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Last year at the first day of the Sequoia Kennel Club conformation show in Hanford CA, Kuyu went Best of Breed (BOB) with Linda as his unexpected handler. We were very grateful that day to Geri Griffin who stepped in and took Kuyu into the Hound Group. Kuyu then took a year’s break from the show ring. This year he returned to the conformation ring at the Hanford show weekend with Geri Griffin handling him. And the first day of the Sequoia Kennel Club shows seems to be especially lucky for Kuyu who took another BOB win.
