This portrait was commissioned as a surprise gift by Ann Koch for Libby Hargrove after the loss of her very special Champion, Agility titled, Servicee Dog, CH Montwood A Lincoln v Arista CD RA RAJ ROM.
The portrait depicts Linc taking off joyfully from an Agility start, the way Libby remembers him best.

"I wanted to let you know how pleased Libby was with Linc's picture! It was a surprise to her, even though I hounded her for the pictures. She had many posed pictures taken at the shows, but had nothing that really showed his joy at working, as yours does. Yours showed his determination, his readiness, his exhilaration, his drive, and brought tears to her eyes. Thank you so much!"
