He also won BOB's over the nation's top dogs before he let Sonia take over in 1997.
He finished his Canadian championship in three shows with three group placements. He was #3 in Canada for 1995, but had the most group placements of any kuvasz that year.
Michael and Leslie Rogers, Whitehorse 1995
Michael, Lizzie and Stephen Hubbell, Fairbanks, May 1996
 
He became the first Junior Owner/handed kuvasz to win a Group Placement in the history of the breed! 
He also won Best in Show Brace with his father Shiner
And Best in Specialty Show
We started showing the two boys in Brace because there were folks who said two intact male Kuvasz could NEVER get along.  However, Michael was the true Will Rogers of the Kuvasz World and never met anyone or any dog he didn't like.  His absolute best friend is his dad, Shiner.
 
But mostly he is a winner on our couch and in our hearts. 
We named him after the Angel of Light, because he was the sunniest personality we ever met.
