About Elika Davies

Elika Davies has a long family history of tending to animals. Her Great-Great Grand Father was one of the first Veterinarians in Alberta, her Great Grandmother bred purebred sheep, her Grand parents bred purebred horses and dogs. Her Mother, Crystal Davies, breeds Top Best In Show winning Lakeland Terriers under the Affirm prefix. With this rich history, it's no wonder Elika was practically born at a dog show. As soon as she was old enough to walk she began playing with dogs. Elika has always had a special ability to lovingly connect with each dog she meets.

Elika began Junior Handling in 2018 and has competed in the Alberta Junior Handling Provincial Finals each year since. In 2018 she was Runner Up in her Junior Novice Class. The 2019 Provincial Finals was postponed until August 2021 due to covid. That year Elika was awarded First In Intermediate Novice Class and became the 2019 Provincial Champion by winning Best Overall Junior Handler! Sadly, that year due to covid, there was no Junior Nationals Competition. In 2022 Elika won her Intermediate Open Class. Twice Elika has received the Arkeno Award for the Highest Point Earning Junior Handler in the Province.  

In October of 2023 Elika had the opportunity to attend her first American Kennel Club Junior Handling competition held on one of the biggest dog show weekends in the USA at the Montgomery County Kennel Club weekend. Each day she competed she won First In Class and on Saturday at the Devon Dog Show Association she won Best Overall Junior Handler under Judge Linda Clark. 

In the Junior Handling ring Elika won Multiple Best Overalls with dogs from each of the seven groups, a rare feat for any Junior! During her time as a Junior she was awarded more than 60 Best Overalls!! Elika has worked for Professional Handlers and an assistant Elika has worked for Lori-Ann Fischer, Tammy Sawatzky, Elyse Fernets, Connie Krhon and Trina Neil.
