With true Jackbilt style, Rigger earned his championship on Saturday by winning his class, taking Winners Dog and Best of Winners for a 4 point major to finish! Rigger never fails to please. With an impressive win ratio of 69% (a "win" being Reserve or better!), he consistently brings home the color - 25 Reserve or better placements out of 35 shows! Rigger started showing in late January '07 at 1 year of age and finished 8 months later in late September at 20 months. Additionally, these incredible numbers were achieved with the 100% owner/handler team of Rigger and Wade.
