American Dual Champion Canadian

 Ch Hamrya's Bandolino MC

Bandita

Bandita is a double Lucky Charm great granddaughter and a Clover granddaughter.  Her 'special' personality was evident from birth.  She was a spunky puppy and emerged as an entertaining, clownish young adult. 

From her first big class win as a three month old puppy in the 1997 AWC Mid West Specialty Sweeps with Jean McCord as her handler to her last AKC Best In Field, Bandita was a Whippet with attitude.  She is the essence of Hamrya - sound, intelligent, intense on the lure.  She is mechanically efficient, covering the maximum distance with a minimum loss of motion.

It was always been a challenge to exhibit Bandita, both in the ring and on the field.  Her high energy and happy feet at the specialties and wild enthusiasm at field trials, are her trademarks.

Bandita was Reserve Winner's Bitch at the 1999 AWC National Specialty, Top Twenty Contender for 1999 and 2000.  She was the recipient of the DC Sporting Fields Jazz Fest Award in 2001 by achieving the highest number of dogs defeated by a dual champion based on the American Kennel Club's Top Dog Bowen system.

In 2005, Bandita traveled to Canada to complete her Canadian Championship undefeated from the classes at eight years old.  Bandita lived in Calgary with her friend, Carla Badick (Nasusa), who  whelped Bandita's final litter on August 6, 2005 by Can Ch Windchase Nasusa Second Wind. 

Bandita returned home to Hamrya in the Fall of 2005.  She can be seen in the Veterans Classes in both in the ring and on the field.
