Retriever “Aces” Obedience Trials


Ace was living up to his name Sunday afternoon, November 23 at the Rally and Obedience Trials dog show hosted by the Windsor All Breed Training and Tracking Club (WABTTC) at the Nature Fresh Farms Recreation Centre. The 11-year-old Golden Retriever “aced” the Advance and Master Class qualifiers with first-place ribbons and held a second-place qualifier for Excellent B Class. Pictured with Ace is owner Pat Gorgerat of Essex and judge Del Lunn of Wallaceburg, who is also the area director for Canadian Kennel Club. The dog show brought in almost 100 registered dogs each day of the two-day event, according to Sharon Johnson of the WABTTC. She said the next dog show will be the annual Labour Day weekend show in September.
