King is an exuberant, energetic boy, full of life and mischief.   

This young man loves showing off, he has looks and attitude and loves nothing better than strutting his stuff in the ring. The bigger the audience the better he likes it 

   

King has had a stellar show career with more than 200 Best of Breed wins to his name, he won his first "All Breeds" Best in Group at the tender age of just two years and hasn't stopped putting Group 5 in a spin since then!

King is a four times qualifier for the prestigious "Battle of the Champions" (only best in show or runner up best in show winners qualify for an invitation to this event) he is back to back Royal Adelaide & Royal Melbourne Best of Breed winner 2009 & 2010. King's more memorable wins are below...We would like to take this opportunity to thank all those judges who have appreciated, recognized and awarded King as the quality Belgian Shepherd he is.
