Wayne Carlson and Paris, a 7-year-old Papillon, repeated winning the NADAC Championship held on September 22-25 in Gillette, Wyo. Wayne writes: “She placed first in all six rounds of the competition and was the overall Grand Champion in her height bracket besting the younger handlers and their dogs. She won the championship in 2020 and was second in 2019 and third in 2018. She can perform at distances of 30 to 40 feet away from me on verbal cues and can run nearly six yards a second. This year I have also spent a couple weeks in Italy seeing all the Renaissance art I was introduced to at Brown. I also visited the WWI and WWII exhibits in New Orleans and Kansas City. I finished an extensive rehab of an apartment this summer. This is a long way from managing a farm as a 16-year-old in Northern Minnesota with a house that had no interior plumbing, no running water, and no electricity and having no clue who Napoleon was. I have enjoyed
my life and look to a few more years of training dogs, traveling, and managing my real estate portfolio. It has been quite a trip, I am a much different person than I was in 1961.”
