Winston, West Highland White Terrier, CRN 010870
Winston ran in his first tournament just before his 8th birthday and continues today at 12. Winston is not the
fastest dog, but gives it everything he has. The determined look on his face as he runs to the box has brought
smiles to the faces of many box loaders. He runs for the pure joy of getting his ball and hearing the crowd
cheer. He’s been so popular with spectators that they think our team didn’t exist before Winston. The truth is,
we might not have existed without him. He brought a valuable 8-inch jump height when we had no full-time
height dogs. To the embarrassment of his owner, he growls as he’s released and will only run for an old, torn,
plastic, green frog that he found in the park. He’s kept in fabulous shape and runs as fast as his legs will carry
him. Now that our team has faster height dogs available, some may wonder why we still run Winston now and
then. If they watch his face as he runs, they’ll know why. We know the time will come for Winston to retire,
but for us, he’ll always represent what the sport is all about.
