Ok so where to begin. This probably has to be the best weekend OFK has had. When it came to weight pulling, OFK was a force to be reckoned with. I couldn't believe it. SO lets get to it
Bailey, 40lbs.
She was the second lightest dog in the whole show. There were close to 70 dogs at this show also. Bailey pulled 3753lbs, 94x her body weight! She took a very strong FIRST in her weight class and continued to pull for the 55lb and under body pound trophy. She pulled hard and missed the body pound trophy by LESS than 1 percent!!!!! It was so close but we are EXTREMELY pleased with her performance. She has over 64 points in 3 shows!!
Bailey early in the night pulling 2388lbs

Rebel-55lbs.
Rebel came in at a solid 55lbs making him the lightest dog not only in his weight class but also in the 55 and over weight division. He had a very big class and very tough. There was a 57lb dog that was giving him a run for his money. . He took a FIRST place in his weight class and continued on looking to take the body pound trophy in the 55 and over class. HE DID. HE pulled a heavy 4418lbs, 80x his body weight to secure the highest body percentage, 55lbs and over. And there were some BIG DOGS. There were a couple DAGGER dogs there, one weighing over 115lbs!
Rebel early on in the night, 2913lbs
Switch: 48lbs
What can I say about Switch. All I can say is we picked the name right, Falins/OFK's Flip the Switch and the Switch was on all day long!!!! He was sooooooo impressive. This little 48lbs dog took FIRST place in his weight class which was an accomplishment in itself because HEMI, a 45lbs dog has been DOMINATING that class. (he beat Switch for 1st in the last show, but it was Switch's first show). Well Switch went on, competing for the body pound trophy 54lbs and under. HE GOT IT!! Switch to the body pound trophy but he wasnt done!! HE went on to take BEST BODY POUND OVERALL. Switch had the highest body pound percentage pulled out of any dog at the show. He pulled 111x his body weight. Thats right, at 10 months and 48lbs he pulled 5328lbs in just 22 seconds. Not only did he have the highest body percentage but he ALSO had MOST WEIGHT PULLED!!! Thats right remember that dagger dog at over 115lbs, Switch at 48lbs pulled more weight than him or any other of the numerous 65lb and over dogs. It was impressive to say the least!!
Here is Switch pulling 5013lbs, not his last pull!!!
And this was just day one!!
Day two, conformation
Lil Girl took second place in her class.
Rebel didn't place, which was hard to believe but thats conformation juding for you.
Switch, well he did it again, He took first place in his class and went on to also take Best Male Puppy in show. He has been to 3 shows so far. He has taken Best in class all 3 times and Two Best Male Puppy in show, One best in show and one Best Reserve!!
So summarry
