Bird dog
searching for live rats enclosed
in tubes hidden in hay. He is
considered to be an altered
grand champion in the AKC
circuit.
Kovach, who entered the
dog competition world along
with Parker said, “He has done
pretty much everything,” They
started out in conformation
competitions, where dogs
are evaluated by how closely
they resemble their breed’s
standard, based on their abil
ity to breed. Unfortunately,
epilepsy required that Parker
be neutered, eliminating him
from further qualifying for that
event. His medical condition
didn’t hold him back though.
That’s when he moved into all
the other events, including a
canine biathlon. However, he
was forced to compete in the
altered dog arena.
“I am the type that, with my
dogs, I will allow them to try
anything,” Kovach said. “If
they seem to like it, then we
keep doing it. If they don’t,
then we move on to something
else.”
Parker is dual registered
with the AKC and the United
Kennel Club (UKC). He has
excelled in both circuits. In the
UKC competitions he boasts
12 Altered Best in Show place
ments, 8 Altered Reserve Best
in Show and 2 Altered Best
in Specialty placements. This
year, Parker won the UKC
Total Dog Altered Best in
Show title for the second year
in a row. Right after the show,
June 19, he retired at the age
of eight.
“With epilepsy and with
his mother dying at the age
of nine, I decided I wanted to
enjoy the rest of the time and
not stress him out,” Kovach
said. “I might do barn hunt
with him a little bit here and
there, because he absolutely
loves to hunt.”
Additionally, there are a few
more AKC specialty shows in
which Parker will participate.
Last week he reached the
altered veteran age bracket
that allows him to compete in
conformation for his breed.
For him to finally get the op
portunity to show in AKC is
a long-awaited moment for
Kovach.
“For the fun of it, more than
to really compete,” she said.
“Just to say hey guys see what
you have been missing.”
Parker has defined his own
er’s life as well. Turning their
passion into a career, Kovach
teaches dog dock diving for
Peach State Air Dogs. She
instructs various breeds of
dogs on how to perform in the
canine sport. To her, it’s the
greatest job in the world, influ
enced by her loyal companion.
“It's now time for Parker to
Continued from front
enjoy his retirement and I'm
blessed to have this boy in my
life,” Kovach said.” And, I'm
going to enjoy every remaining
minute we have together.”
