Top Junior Handler: Weight Pull 2006
Kayla Towery

To be top Junior Handler-
Well first it feels great! Throughout the year I've been able to get to know another persons
dog and spend time with my family.
At first it was kinda different because I didn't know what to do or what the dog was like. Then after awhile I got used to it. Going to so many places and meeting all the new people was really nice. Actually the second show I met a really good friend Lily, who I kept seeing throughout the year. Pulling also let me get to know my Aunt Shelly and Uncle Donnie better and share in what they really like to do. Star is a wonderful dog and she was the one that did great. I just learned to give her what she needed to hear to pull that much weight.
Going to Premiere was exciting and wonderful. My whole family came to watch me and support me. It doesn't matter what kind of dog, they seem to all getting out there and pulling.
I also got to see alot of the other events that went on. In all this year has been a fun time.

The Redbone was the second coonhound breed to be registered with UKC, the first being registered in 1902, two years after the American Black & Tan. The Redbone is known to be a well-balanced breed, making them adaptable to various types of hunting and terrain. Their agility benefits them when hunting in fenced country or steep, rocky ground. Redbones are known to make excellent water dogs. |
