LOKI - CH Oakstaff Masterpiece
CGC GOLD
We are proud of all our show achievements but Loki is one of few staffords in NZ to achieve his GOLD Canine Good Citizen. This is something I aim to achieve with as many of my dogs as possible so they are all working towards various levels on a continual basis.

Loki has also taken three Best in Shows at specialty shows at Stafford Specialty Shows under three different overseas judges. Below are the critiques from these shows.
