Sandy and Trader at the GRCA National Specialty

Congratulations to Sandy Washburn and her Golden Retriever Gaylan’s Tradewind O’er ThDoone “Trader” on getting their OTCH. You may have seen an earlier announcement about Trader getting in to the Obedience Hall of Fame this past fall. Now he’s got his OTCH!

Here’s what Trader’s breeder Gayle Watkins had to say about his achievement:

“I am so excited to announce that Sandy Washburn and her terrific partner Trader finished their OTCH today, giving us our first OTCH!  Trader has kept us all guessing, making lots of progress towards his OTCH in the fall by taking four or five straight High in Trial awards to enter the Obedience Dog
Hall of Fame.  Then his progress slowed in the winter when he was getting a point or two per trial.  He kicked it into gear today when he won the run-off in Open B with a 199+ to take the class and 30 OTCH points, far more
than the 10 points he needed.

Sandy couldn’t be a more wonderful competitor-she is supportive of all, generous of her time and forgiving of her dog.  The two of them are a wonderful team to watch in the ring.  Congratulations to Sandy and OTCH
Gaylan’s Tradewind O’er ThDoone UDX3 MX MXJ XF ODHF CCA!  Trader is by Lise Pratt’s Gaylan’s Born to Fly SH MX MXJ WCX OS ADHF VC out of my girl, LornaDoone Encore Encore CDX SH MX MXJ WCX OD CCA VCX.”

We’re happy to echo Gayle’s congratulations on Sandy and Trader’s accomplishment!
