Thor Kain wins the 2020-2021 AFTCA Top Handler Award
During a season full of unique challenges Thor Kain from Carbondale Pennsylvania handled 4 setters to an impressive 442 point total for wins in 30 minute Amateur All Age and Amateur Shooting Dog stakes held by Member Clubs to distance himself from a competitive field and win the AFTCA 20-21 Top Handler Award. Thor will be awarded the Top Handler Plaque along with an engraved Sterling Silver AFTCA Top Handler Belt Buckle to honor his fine season.
Thor spaced his six first place wins, four second place wins and three third place wins over a 9 month period beginning with a Shooting Dog first place win over 20 other competitors at the Mohegan Bird Dog Clubs fall event with his Super Storm English Setter. His 13th and final season placement came on May 23rd at the Ocean State Bird Dog Club Shooting Dog stake handling Deciding Point, another English Setter, to a first place win over 14 others. A steady consistent approach to the long season paid off with evenly spaced wins….a truly impressive effort.
