Yoshka's Show Results:
LCA National Specialty
Healdsburg 2003
Yoshka's big achivement at this specialty was to FINALLY earn his first Open leg. He did it in style! By putting on one of his best perfomances ever, he scored 194 points out of 200 (a couple of the points deducted were because of handler error ;-) and took High in Trial at the same time.
The next day Yoshka also did well in the confirmation ring, placing 4th in the Champion Class with an Excellent rating. A truly versatile Leonberger!
