Dillon, Border Collie, CRN 960885
Dillon, a member of the Fairbairn Family, Mary, Michael, and John, began his flyball career in
1996, and ran his first race in 1997. Dillon has shared the lanes with Region 5’s finest for almost
a decade. Dillon’s first competitive runs were in a “Fastest of the Fast” competition in Las Vegas
against dogs from Animal Inn, Rude Dogs, and Touch n Go. This big puppy wasn’t quite sure
what he was doing, but he won the competition and the respect of all. Dillon was one of the first
3.9/4.0 dogs in Region 5. He was a member of the fast Top Dog teams of the late 1990’s and
was on Texas Heat’s first 16 second team in 2001.
Dillon is the true foundation dog for Texas Heat. He has been an integral part of the training of
every puppy and every human trained as a member of Texas Heat. Dillon’s presence and
confidence has positively influenced all of the puppies he has helped train. Dillon was equally as
valuable training new handlers. Dillon’s steadiness allowed them to focus only on their
responsibilities. Dillon’s many accomplishments and contributions for the past decade make him
a worthy candidate for Regional MVP.
Nominated by Texas Heat
