All Candid shots are now online and ready for order at http://www.muddypawz.net/html_site/hitofhits11/

Congratulations to Helen Walker and her golden retriever Katie on winning the HiT from the novice class, beating last year’s winner, Louise Bastien who was competing in both Open and Utility. The final heeling pattern was devised and called by Mike Calhoun and it had quite a few people scratching their heads when they saw lines of black tape being set down on the ground!

All was revealed as the competitors were asked to “walk the line”

Special memtion has to be made to “People’s Choice” winner Kate Derbyshire and her whippet Jimmy. Jimmy came back from the retrieve and did a perfect front and finish – in front of judge Jim Ham!

BDOC HiT of HiTs

Playing catchup with my blog posts!

Saturday 9th May saw the annual HiT of HiTs organized by the Bytown Dog Obedience Club at the Fred Barrett arena.

As always, competition was fierce and last year’s winner, Ikena Hilmayer made it into the final heeling routine with not only her Terv, Passion but also with her schipperke Levi. The dog representing the Utility class was Irene Mullan’s Golden Retriever, Sera.

Iken and Passion won the final heeling routine with the lowest TPL score to take the trophy for the third time in a row.
