Levi was a confident and enthusiastic pup who loved zooming around the garden on even the wettest and muddiest of days. An 'awesome' day for him was racing his littermates over the bridges in the garden, around the trees and doing a very good impression of a steeplechaser over any logs. The wetter and muddier, the better. He loved being a muddy little urchin. Proof -->

Levi started his trial career with Angie. He ran his first trial as a 12 month old in a couple of local novice trials, winning one and finishing 2nd in the other. Unbeknowst to us at the time, this novice win made him ineligible to run in the South Wales nursery trials. Lesson learned!

It wasn't until the European Nursery Championship that Levi ran his first nursery trial and was a very green, very inexperienced 18 month old. Incredibly, Levi won the second qualifying trial at ENC earning himself his first medal, and finished first overall in qualifying (aggregate). This was an amazing accomplishment for one so young and with so little trial experience. The final didn't quite go to plan but a 9th place finish overall was still impressive and a huge surprise.

A month after running at the European Nursery Champs, Levi won his first open trial with Kelvin at the helm and not long afterwards came his second open win, this time handled by Angie. Levi is a very adaptable dog and can work equally well for both of us. However, as the season progressed Levi became 'Kelvin's dog' as Kelvin was in need of a second dog.

Later in the year, Levi won his first Open South Wales style trial, won one of the qualifying trials for the South Wales Association Open, and had his first attempt at a Double Fetch trial finishing 4th. A good start.

In 2015, Levi continued with some consistent performances but it wasn't until 2016 that he really started to fire again. In mid-July, Levi hit a purple patch of form. It started with a terrific win at the New Cross trial and a week later, winning his day of the Welsh National with an outstanding run scoring 209 out of a possible 220. This put him into the finals runoff where Levi put up another great performance and finished as the Reserve Welsh Champion. With a place on the Welsh team, Levi and Kelvin headed to Tywyn for the International. At the International, Kelvin and Levi put up a terrific performance earning 5th place in qualifying and a place in the Supreme final in their first attempt. The final was tense! Levi ran extremely well and had to fight hard to get the shed done...but with time ticking down, they timed out at the pen. Finishing 7th overall, this was a tremendous accomplishment for a team making their International debut.

Levi has continued his consistent form in 2017, 2018 and 2019 with many wins and placings in Open trials, including qualifying for the Defaidty Hill trial final and placing 5th at the Cotswold Open, held on the same course as the 2017 International. The highlight being that he and Kelvin were the Welsh team captains for the World Sheepdog Trial in the Netherlands.

Unfortunately 2019 also saw Levi sustain a major foot injury thanks to a blackthorn. This ruled him out of trialling for most of the year.

Levi continues to be a consistent performer on the trial field and seems to be at his best on the bigger trials. in 2021 he returned to the Sandilands field in Twywn for the Welsh National and finished third on his day to qualify for his second Welsh Team for the International.
