2001 World Cow Dog Challenge

Photo taken of Klaatu and Dot in honor of their First Place Open Class in the Third and toughest

Qualifying round of the 2001 World Cow Dog Challenge in Alturus, California. Those “clouds”

Behind Dot’s hat are actually smoke from a lightening strike induced wild fire. Brief thunderstorms

each afternoon under extreme fire hazard conditions resulted in a ring of fire in the hills surrounding

the Wilson Ranch trial site.

Klaatu had the TWO highest Open Division fetch times of the entire trial.
