The 2004 K-9 PRO SPORTS Invitational World Championships for Personal Protection Dogs will be held Saturday, October 16, 2004 at K9 Kountry, 4901 E. FM 1187, Burleson, Texas. This year’s World Championships will mark the first time that European contestants have competed for the prestige of winning in an American created dog sport. Dog and Handler teams from across the United States as well as teams from Europe will be competing. The teams were invited to the World Championships based to their accumulation of points earned in Club and Regional Trials throughout the K-9 PRO SPORTS season. In addition, the teams from Denmark have competed in the European Military Dog Championships and finished in the top one percent of that competition, which involved over two thousand teams. Exercises in the competition will include Obedience, Civil Agitation, Defense of the Handler from single and multiple attackers and Courage Tests of the dogs (attacking perpetrators over or through obstacles such as windows, water and maybe even a wall of fire). BE THERE!!!!!!
