think competition is going to be pretty stiff but Trooper is an excellent dog. We won't be em- barassed by any stretch of the imagination,”’ Grinrod said.

There are four ¢cvents for the 30 teams involved

On the first day, the obedience event tests the dog’s ability to obey his (the dogs are all male), master. The dogs go through heeling pat- terns, ieft and right turns, and a two-minute stay, wixere the handler is sitting 30 ft. from the dog, with his back to him.

Delta Const. Brock Buchanan said the obedience and agility tests are challenging for the handlers

use dogs are not used to per- forming in front of a crowd.

“The most enteriaining event for the audience is the bite work, ” Buchanan said.

The bite work, or protection work as it is sometimes called, is held on Aug. 1. It involves three different scenarios. In each case the dog is tested in his ability to seek out a suspect and pursue him, If the dogs don’t stop pursuit when called off the team receives an automatic zero.

The last event of the dog com- petition is the box search in which the dog has 100 seconds to fiud a suspect who is hidden behind one of five boxes.

Grinrod said the four events test the handier’s skill in controlling

the dog as much as the dog’s skills.

“If we lose points it'll probably be because of me, not the dog,”’ Grinrod said, laughing.
