Klicker earned his UWP at the 2004 National weekend. Although he only pulled 700 pounds (on an incline) I was quite proud of my little guy and 12.5% of his body weight was fine by me. This was the last title he needed to earn Superdog status.
Klicker earned his
Weight Pull Championship in 2005 pulling on all three surfaces and securing the
15th Spot in the
2005 Weight Pull All Stars
Klicker earned his United Weight Puller Versitile title in March of 2006. He has managed to secure this title earning his first 100 points on any surface being that of SNOW!!!
In April 2006, Klicker earned his United Weight Puller Outstanding title by adding 100 points on wheels. Shortly thereafter, "Kracker" as he is affectionately known on the track, earned the necessary points for both his Supereme and Excellent titles.
You know, some dogs will do anything for the human they love!
This was Klicler's very first competition pull! He only had to pull the empty cart but he did it with both class and style!
He could get down and dirty when he wanted to!
Pulling it all the way to the end. What a guy!
Sometimes the weight got REALLY heavy for little Bic!
Sometimes I had to get really creative in my begging! (Boy - have we both learned A LOT since then!)
Sometimes we all need a little help and encouragement! And to be perfectly honest, he had a lot of help on this pull.
And then we tried snow. Snow pulling is VERY humbling!
Klicker only needed to pull 285 pounds to earn five points for his Championship
Despite all his efforts, we had a bit of difficulty perfecting the form needed to break the sled free.
Once he got it moving, it was really great.
I was so thrilled that he finally managed to make his first five point pull only to find out I had caused him to foul. Like I said, weight pull is really humbling!
Klicker would much rather be sleeping in the truck than freezing his parts off on the cold, cold snow!
Once Bicker Boy caught on, he really stared to look like the pros.
He even earned his new Weight Pull name, "Kracker", courtesy of Woody Armour, embroidered to his harness. This harness is made by Table Rock Harnesses
Thanks Alicia Ivie for these great pictures of Klicker being a real man!
Klicker travelled to
Kalamazoo Michigan to participate in the 2005 Weight Pull All Stars in which he
placed 5th pulling 32 times his body weight on wheels.
I couldn't have been more proud of my Kracker!
Thanks Sara Nugent for the wonderful shot of my guy and I
Just like obedience and agility, there are practical purposes to this weight pull thing. Here Klicker was able to assist Spiderman and his pal McBunniess as they hunted vermin on a cool fall night in South Lake Tahoe, CA when Spidey's SUV shorted out and was stuck in the road. Klicker pulled the up and coming superhero all the way back to his lair across the street!
In 2006 Bicker's
skill on the track has managed to earn him the
#2 spot in the 2006 Weight Pull All Stars.
Although there are much heavier pullers out there, I am proud of what my man
has accomplished and couldn't be more happy with his performances. In
November of 2006 at the Montana pull, Kracker managed to secure his
first Most Weight Pulled Per Body Pound award pulling 44 times his weight
on wheels.
On June 15, 2007 in Kalamazoo, MI for the 2006 Weight Pull All Star Pull-Off, Bicker Boy came in once again in 5th place. Premier was hard for him this year and his successes were small. But, he is still my main man!
I cannot thank Kim Allison enough for letting Kracker use the great Brody's harness for so many of his electrifying (hee hee) pulls.
Here Cheryl Caragan captures the might in my little man.
Snow is not Kracker's favorite surface.
Sometimes carpet isn't so cool either
Bicker Boy has earned a number of Most Weight Pulled Per Body Pound awards and a Most Weight Pulled. In February 2007 under judge Kinny Duentas, Bicker Boy nailed both MWP and MWPP at the same show. Thanks to the Rip Curl Weight Pullers!
As of May 2007, Bicker Boy has six MWPP and a MWP all on wheeled cart. He is also sitting in the number one spot in the 2007 Weight Pull All Stars.
Sometimes, no matter whose harness he is wearing or what surface he is on, he has had enough! Even the best of athletes have a bad day. It turns out sitting down on the job and looking pitiful is a highly heritable trait - see Koda's weight pull page for proof!
