Levliann Waited for You ( 2020 )

( Almanza Rish Your engines to Levliann x Bagful of Bananas Optimus Canis ).

Meet our handsome, Griff. Bred by myself, son to our special liver imports, Steig x Peach. This was a pairing we had always planned for, from the moment I saw Peaches Mum, Banana from Kennel Optimus Canis, Poland. Hence known as the 'Wait' litter, as it felt like forever waiting to pair these two together. Our hopes paid off and produced a stunning liver litter, keeping both Griff and sister, Bow.

Griff has some truly special lines behind his breeding. His grandfather needing no introduction, being the Supreme Crufts 2022 winner, Almanza Backseat Driver. A boy I had always loved and admired.

Griff is a laid back, very chilled guy. He's so very easy to live with, often forgetting his size, joining us for cuddles on the sofa.

Griff wowed us at his very first show, winning Best Liver in show and then taking best puppy in show. His attitude in the ring for the first time was wonderful. In 2021, Griff went on to win all of his puppy classes and was placed 4th at Crufts 2022. We didn't attend as many shows 2023, but his highlight was a 2nd place in his class at Crufts '23. He came back with a punch, showing 2024, gaining best Liver in show at the Flatcoated Retriever Society Show. Fingers crossed we have more success in the future with this beautiful boy, especially now he has matured.
