Local Shelter Dog Wins National Championship
This is Ginger, the 2015 Barn Hunt Association's National Games Champion! The competition was held just a few weeks ago at Purina Farms, near St. Louis, MO. The second place team is from Gardnerville and the Grand Champion is from Elko! Only the top dogs out of 15,000 registered were eligible to compete. Ginger also holds a Flyball Master title. I rescued her 4 years ago from the Carson City shelter, where she had been returned twice.
Barn Hunt is the new and quickly growing dog sport catching fire across the country! Barn Hunt is based on the traditional roles of many breeds in ridding farms, barns, crop storage areas, and homes of destructive vermin. Barn Hunt provides their first true opportunity for responsible breeders to test proper working traits in their dogs. Barn Hunt is also open to any dog of any breed or mix who wishes to play the game and can fit through an 18" wide by bale-height tall tunnel. Barn Hunt has titles, levels of increasing difficulty, and championships. Barn Hunt is an independent sport, but titles are recognized by both the American Kennel Club (AKC) and United Kennel Club (UKC).
