Hickory is our second Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, who we got as a puppy from Berdia kennels in Canada. Click here to see every picture ever taken of Hickory, and here to see only the best ones.
Here is Hickory at 5 months:
Hickory has won many ribbons and certificates, some of which almost mean something.
In a fun match on January 4th, 1998, in Chicago he won Best Puppy in Group (Rare Breed/Miscellaneous), winning over two other puppies.
At the ARBA Orange Blossom Classic in Orlando, Florida, January 17-18, 1998, he won Winner's Dog at all four shows, against a competition of zero (except one where he won over a competition of one). Here are his four ribbons:
Somewhat more sigificantly, he also won Best of Winners at one show, in a group of four Tollers. He received one NSDTRC point for this win. Here is his ribbon:
At this show he earned three Excellent ratings, giving him three of the nine CAC-US points required for an ARBA Championship. Here are his three certificates:
Next Hickory went to a show at the New Lennox kennels near Chicago, March 7-8, 1998. Here are all the ribbons here won there:
At this show, he got his first Major, a 3-pointer.
