Thor, Shetland Sheepdog, CRN 940372
Thor, owned by Hank Wesdyk, was a Sheltie fondly called PDQ’s “Energizer Bunny”. Born on
January 15/92, his mom became ill, and the litter was hand fed. His breeder gave them all a
strong name, to help them survive. He became “Raveon High and Mighty”. At 6 months he broke
his rear leg badly, and we feared he would never race flyball, but true to his name, he overcame
all predictions, and began racing as our height dog in 1994. He helped our Eh! Team accomplish
many firsts, and was well known in the region for his funny antics, racing the other dogs beside
him with great glee, often slowing down just enough to make it a photo finish! Thor also became
the first height dog, at 9 years of age, for our new Prairie Storm Team of Border Collies, and was
intrumental in their success in becoming the fastest team in Saskatchewan. He was the first dog
in Saskatchewan to earn his FGDCh in June 2001. This year the “High and Mighty Award”, given
to a Region 8 height dog nominated by its peers, was set up in his honour. “The Mighty Thor”
crossed the Rainbow Bridge on Dec/05.
