Hello everyone! And welcome to the Lycabettus Kennel! You may see some familiar faces around here as I decided to split my Bari Kennel dogs. All my working group dogs have been moved here, leaving the herding dogs at Bari, in essence the Border Collie kennel. We follow what we call the "Pentathlon of Excellence", which consists of five fundamental points that we strive for in all our dogs: Conformation, Health, Versatility, Protection and Temperament. These must all be balanced in order to have a stable and reliable working companion and pet. Our focus breeds are the Rottweiler, American Bulldog, Boxer and Dogo Argentino and very recently added the English Mastiff. We also own a Shiba Inu who basically bosses the big boys around. You can visit our site for more info HERE. The kennel is run by the Hawke family (not the Hawke brothers from Bari!). Hunter Hawke is actually Mike and Buho's uncle, and along with his wife, Meagra and teen daughter, Lola, they run the kennel, training and caring for them. Lycabettus is the name of a mountain in Athens, Greece, which means "the hill that is walked by wolves". The theme for the site and kennel was inspired by Bastille's song, Pompeii, and other historical and mythological references that derived in ancient Greece. As you may soon see, our facilities do not look Greek at all, but it's the essence what matters. Our dogs are warriors, pure of heart and loyal companions, ready to protect and please, not as gruesome as the Spartans, but sure as heck as fearless.

Our Dogo Argentino, Bari's Che of VRK, handled by Jeannine Lukas, has proven the classical Cinderella story true: it's possible to rise from rags to riches! In this case from rescued pup to an excellent specimen of his breed. After placing and earning multiple points in numerous conformation shows our boy has earned the title of Champion! We are so proud of him! (short post as it is very late and i need to get up early tomorrow )

So much excitement! This week has been a really big week for us. One of our dogs, as well as one from our sister kennel, Baires Grounds', were invited to the first SKC Invitational Show! Cousins Merchant Fame, from Baires Grounds, and Lola Hawke, from Lycabettus, along with a small group of family, friends, other handlers and a veterinarian, travelled with the dogs for a few hours to attend this grand event! The excitement is full on, as this is a big achievement for both kennels and it was a great experience. The number of different breeds was incredible, all so groomed and so polished! Never had they seen so many, so well-looking in one place. On another note, the judges all looked so sharp and intimidating! Only the judges and time will tell how Kimi, our Shiba from Jinmenken, and Fidel, the Basset from Baires Grounds, did. Another update: Lycabettus welcomes two new staff members...from Italy! Athena Verdi is a professional dog trainer, handler and had been a dog show judge back in Italy. Wanting a break from that and just wanting to focus on showing, she dragged her fiancee, the veterinarian Aidan Verdi all they way to Argentina. Along with the new members came new cc and a new skin! (Note: I'd like to thank The Divine Kennel for making available some of the cc I used on my facility, Dovahkiin Kennel for the Leonberger template)
