| An elite dog that could be described as the straw that stirs the drink; Throttle thrived at the highest level over the course of his racing career. His racing career saw him race in 7 regions, spread across 4 provinces and 5 states. He was an instrumental contributor to Animal Inn's top Regular team for his entire career. During this time, he was a key contributor on a team that won 8 consecutive Regional Championships (2012-2019), won two NAFA Regular Championships (2014,2015), never failed to qualify for the CanAm Regular invitational (2012-2019), qualified for 2 CanAm finals and winning one, 2014 and 2018 respectively, as well as being a part of Animal Inn's fastest club time ever when they ran 14.76 at CanAm in 2017. Early in his career Throttle settled in to running second, racing there his entire career, and was a tone setter for the team, running 3.4-3.5 times during his prime years. Throttle finished his career with 59,849 points and got to fittingly finish his career racing one last time at CanAm where he enjoyed so much success. Throttle was a truly special dog. |
