Ari in Belton Texas 2026
A Successful Weekend for Cunningham’s Be Aemilius in Belton
At the Austin Kennel Club’s three-day dog shows in Belton, Texas, our male dog Cunninghams Be Aemilius—“Ari”—who lives in the U.S., once again put on an impressive performance.
Ari, who was only 16 months old, won Best of Breed twice and Best of Opposite Sex once. The highlight came on Sunday with his outstanding second-place finish in the Hound Group. As a result, he was named the second-best hound among all the best-of-breed hounds presented that day.
The weekend also brought some very good news on the health front: Ari passed both the OFA eye exam with a “Eyes Clear” rating and the heart exam conducted by a cardiologist without any issues.
With 2 × Best of Breed, 1 × Best of Opposite Sex, Group 2, and two successful health examinations, Belton had an all-around successful weekend for Ari and his owner, Lew Olson. We are very pleased with his progress and would like to extend our heartfelt congratulations to Lew and her team on this tremendous success!
