Luke has full dentition and scissors bite. He loves toys, carrying them around, tossing them into the air and then picking them up again. At 5 months of age, he practiced chasing the plastic lure and didn't want to quit. I had to pick him up and carry him off the field. At 7 months, he won Best Opposite Sex in the Sweepstakes at the MBC December 2009 Specialty. At 9 months, Luke was in 2 shows, & was Winners Dogs twice from the puppy class for a total of 3 points. As a yearling he competed in 4 more shows, was Winners Dog 3 times. So in 6 shows he won 9 points in conformation, owner handled. He earned his Junior Courser title and is pointed in AKC lure coursing. Running in our yard, Luke broke his front leg, which ended his short coursing career. Luke won a major 9-15-2012 in conformation, owner handled. His second major to finish was 4-28-2013. He was shown 8 times as an adult. All his points, except for his second major, were owner handled. He finished his RN title January 4, 2015. He was always a well behaved house dog, welcoming new borzoi. He usually got up off his bed to greet us when we came home. He loved toys and often took a toy outside to play with, even as an old dog. Luke passed away July 30, 2019, from a bleeding internal tumor. We enjoyed the more than 10 years he shared our home. He is missed.
