Cal – Border Collie, CRN 170405
Cal has been Mr. Reliable since 2017, running most of his career so far in open with rare flags. Cal is often found schmoozing anyone with snacks on the sidelines, offering his tricks, before racing anywhere for anyone. After racing, he is found wallowing in the baby pool or trying to steal hats or give face kisses. Cal loves to start and still matches his personal best fairly regularly. He is responsible for training more new handlers than I can count, and was the introduction to racing for no less than 3 new handlers so far this year. He is often handed off to clubs who need a dog, last year at CanAm he ran for a new handler from another region. Cal has taken more than one handler out hitting his tug like a freight train but is gentle with junior handlers. He is invaluable in training green dogs, teaching baby dogs to pass or serving as a distraction. He has ran flyball in 3 countries (US, Canada, France) and loves doing flyball demos at professional basketball games to introduce more people to flyball! He has 8 Iron Dog points and is very near his 40k title.
