LUKAS was bred by Kimberle Schiff of Oakwood Kennels and co-bred by Michele Beyer-Manton of Kaitler Kennels and was born in New York State at Oakwood Kennels.  He arrived in Washington in June, 2007, as a long-legged, bundle of energy. 

None the less for wear after his long flight to his new home, Lukas confidently left his travel crate behind to explore his new and exciting surroundings.  He sat on my lap watching the scenery pass by on our way home from the airport.  The instant bonding was mutual as we began our amazing life together.  

LUKAS began his show career at just 6 months of age, winning the Breed over the Special on his first weekend out.  From there he went on to compete at the German Pinscher Nationals in 2007, just shy of 7 months, earning two majors:  Best of Winners at a companion show and Winners Dog at the National. 

LUKAS finished his AKC Championship in Portland, Oregon at the Rose City Classic in January 2008, at just 11 months of age, and represented the German Pinscher Breed for the first time on television when the show was aired in April, 2008.  Although he was just a youngster, he handled the bright lights and large moving cameras like a pro and strutted his stuff on the down and back like he had been there a million times before.

Next, Lukas set his sights on Canada and made his debut in February 2008 at the Renaissance Dog Association shows in Chilliwack, B.C.  He won the Breed each day over the Special that was showing and went on to place in the Group each day of the show, earning a Group 2, and two Group 4 placements.  Lukas left the 3-day show just 1 point shy of completing his Canadian Championship. 

LUKAS was busy competing in the United States so did not return to Canada until that fall, when he competed at the Lower Mainland Dog Fanciers show in Abbotsford.  This is one of the largest, if not the largest, shows in Canada each year and the only one that is televised. 

LUKAS finished his Canadian Championship on the first day of the shows winning the Breed from the classes and went on to win the Breed all 4 days, including the Breed at the first German Pinscher Club of Canada Booster. 

Additionally, Lukas won a Group 3 at the Non-Sporting Specialty on October 30^th and a Group 3 at the Lower Mainland Dog Fanciers show on November 1^st, so again was honored with representing the German Pinscher Breed for his second time on national television. 

Although Lukas only showed in Canada the two weekends, he acquired enough points to earn him the coveted #1 German Pinscher Top Dog in Canada Award for 2008.

LUKAS' next big adventure took him down to Long Beach, California to compete in the Eukanuba Classic where he received an Award of Merit, placing second to his littermate, Parker, a lovely black and red version of himself.

LUKAS' started 2009 off with a BANG at the Portland Oregon Rose City Classic where he won the Breed all 3 days and finished the last day off with a Group 4 placement.  For the second year in a row he represented the German Pinscher on national television when the show was aired in April. 

He has continued to WOW the judges with his excellent conformation, beautiful movement, look at me attitude, and wonderful personality.

Feb 16th, 2010 ... LUKAS took Best of Breed at the WESTMINSTER KENNEL CLUB Show!!!!!

LUKAS attended the IABCA show in Ridgefield, Washington this past weekend, earning his INTERNATIONAL TITLE with the top V-1 rating at each of the four shows.  Be sure to check out the Judges' Reports by clicking on the previous link.

In addition, on Feb 28/10 he received a Group 2nd at the IABCA 2010 Evergreen Winter Sieger show under judge Ms. Juliann Kowalsky. 

Also in 2010 Lukas won BOS at the Eukanuba Classic under Judge Jane Roppollo.

LUKAS is expertly handled by Luke Baggenstos. They have been working together now for some time and have really become a 'dynamic duo'.  Lukas loves being with Luke and truly enjoys showing under the gentle guidance Luke provides.  Watch for them at the shows ... if you look closely you will likely even see Lukas smiling.

LUKAS is at the shows most every weekend, but he spends his weekdays just being a "dog" watching over my small farm, patrolling for rabbits, squirrels, other rodent-like creatures, and the occasional snake who dare to infringe on his territory.  Herding the horses is also a favorite pastime.  

He spends his nights sacked out on the leather couch and teasing the four cats that run the household (every once in a while you catch him and Magic, my big, black cat, snuggled up close to one another) - they don't want anyone to know that they really do like each other!
