Flash: Wotan, age 12, earns his AXJ title with a First Place and AX with a Third Place!
Wotan is my heart and soul dog. He was a truly wonderful gift from his breeder after a tragic accident killed his sister. He was and still is my constant companion and kept me company as a pup, while on bedrest during a difficult pregnancy. So tolerant of a then novice handler, Wotan was my guinea pig and exposed to almost every dog activity out there. I showed this boy myself and put a 4-point major on him but we retired him at 13 points, just short of finishing his championship, as we tried unsuccessfully to get that last elusive major. He would not work for even the best handlers as he was such a momma's boy.
Wotan has incredible drive and athleticism. Extremely birdy, he finished his Junior Hunter title easily and loved to hunt at the preserve. He even earned his first leg with a very pregnant handler traipsing behind.
We then discovered agility and immediately became hooked. Wotan was born for this sport but it has taken years to bridle his extreme enthusiasm and drive, and gain control and consistency. He humbled his handler at many agility trials and if anything, always provided the entertainment.
Still known as the Houdini dog, Wotan has broken out of every crate made and would rather just guard the house from his perch on the couch.
Watch out for this amazing agility dog!
He's also quite handsome!
