Pyp's nomination letter
Submitted by Mike Randall
Pyp's best time was 4.123 (NAFA), 4.233 (UFL) at 9 and past his prime. Pyp earned 98,678 points w/NAFA and 3,160
points w/UFL. A solid 4.2 and 4.3 second height dog - when Pyp had to he could run a 4.1. Pyp's career spanned over
13 years, competing with 87 different dogs in 148 NAFA tournaments and 4 U-FLI tournaments, with 45 Division One
First Places and 6 Regional Championships. Pyp competed in tournaments in 12 different states and twice in the
Purina Incredible Dog Challenge. Pyp would run for anyone, on any team, in any position, into or against any dog -
big or small, aggressive or timid. Not only a competitor, but also a great dog if you wanted to train an inexperienced
or timid dog. Pyp had a few faults - birds in the building or if he didn't have a ball when he returned, he would head
back to the box - it didn't matter if it was his turn or not or if there was another dog in the lane. If he got knocked
down he would bounce right back up and complete the race. Pyp gave it all he had all the time.
