Jacki Barnes- President
I
joined the Thunder Bay Schutzhund Club in 1996 after purchasing a German Shepherd pup, Dillon from the Secretary of the club at the time. Dillon excelled in CKC obedience and tracking, earning a CDX and a TDX.
I became President of the club in 1998. That same year Dillon achieved a BH. Realizing that he just wasn’t cut out for the protection part of Schutzhund, I purchased 8 week old “Aro von Trostberg” in 1999.
Aro is an 8 time SchH 3 competitor. We participated in 2 Regional Championships, placing 3rd at the 2004 Ontario Regionals and competed at the 2004 German Shepherd Championships. Aro was retired in 2005 due to a back condition.
I began working with Bizzy Von Voll Der Griff in 2005.
Bizzy and I received our BH in May of 2007 and our SchH 1 in Sept of 2007. At the Ontario Regionals held in Thunder Bay May 30th to June 1st 2008 we were High SchH 2 and will try for our SchH 3 in August 2008.
Jacki & Bizzy 9 weeks
