The Heartlanders 4 H Dog Project recently had several
members compete in the annual 4 H State Fair Dog Show in Tampa. On February
10th and 11th, dog project members
Sydney Ruble, Cassie Hare and Kimber
Harris joined over 200 entrants and their dogs for two days of fur and fun at
the Tampa Fair. Sydney showed her sable sheltie "Evie" and took fourth place in
advanced agility and second place in novice obedience. Sydney also showed her
bi-blue sheltie, T.J. in advanced agility and novice obedience.
Cassie
and her chocolate lab, Koda, made their showing debut at the state fair and
came home with a white ribbon in junior showmanship. She and Koda also received
participation ribbons in basic obedience, agility and rally. We are expecting
some tough competition from them in the future. Kimber showed her bi-blue sheltie

"Rainbow" and won a blue ribbon in junior showmanship and a first
place blue ribbon in basic obedience. They also won a second place red ribbon
in rally and a fourth place pink ribbon in basic agility. The 4-H dog project
has added a new Quiz Bowl competition in which the 4-member teams compete to
answer showing, dog care and maintenance related questions. Kimber's team
placed first during the state fair round.
The 4 H Dog Project is open to all
Highlands County children between |
the ages of eight and eighteen who would
like to learn more about handling and training their dogs. The club meets on
Sunday afternoons at 4:00 p.m. at the YMCA basketball courts.
