We are delighted to announce that Ari (Cunningham’s Be Aemilius—owned by Lew Olson) has become an AKC Champion (CH).

The male dog, born on May 16, 2025 (Chuck Blossoming Meadow × Xtreme Kindness v.d. Mergelhoeve), earned the champion title at just 14 months of age.

Ari earned his championship points at AKC shows in Louisiana, at the Lone Star State Classic in Dallas, and at the subsequent Houston/Beaumont Show Cluster in Texas. He finally achieved his decisive victory at the Beaumont Kennel Club, where he earned Best of Breed, Best of Winners, and another major, thereby fulfilling the final requirements for the title of American Champion (AKC CH).

We would like to express our sincere thanks to Lew Olson for the trust he has placed in us and offer our heartfelt congratulations on this success.
