Ricochet – Mix, CRN 150182
Ricochet arrived in Alaska in 2013, a gangly, wonky-eared puppy. Our states first Border Whippet. We all wanted to dabble with such a creature, none of us were brave enough. But Cindy Rabe, having raised cavaliers was the obvious choice. 2015, RR’s Pinball Wizard made his debut. This boy had a need for speed. He went from 3.8’s to 3.6’s in the span of two months. And a year later, in 2016, he posted a PB of 3.537 at CanAm. “Ric” loved to really open up in Indianapolis. He ushered his club, Alaska Dogs Gone Wild, to multiple Division Championships on that stage. Most recently, in 2021 he anchored his team to victory as the Regular 1 CanAm Classic Champions. Whether he was biting Toby’s butt in the runback or racing to the kiddie pool at Solstice you had to love this boy’s antics. He really was like a pinball, you pulled him back and let him fly and he rebounded off that box back to Cindy and it was brilliant. A Most Valuable Player in pioneering our Region to hit its first 15 second time, 15.815. We could not be more proud of this pair and their achievements.
