Meet Champ

2023 OZTOPDOG People's Choice Finalist 

Meet Champ

Breed: Border Collie

Barking from: Helensvale, QLD

What's up dog?

I adopted Champ from a working sheep property when he was four years old. Shortly thereafter he was diagnosed with hip dysplasia, but that hasn't stopped him from competing in dog sports and earning titles in herding, scent work and tricks. Champ, now aged 11, has appeared on local television highlighting his work in assisted living facilities (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=855866931419290), on national television as a Reading Dog (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6TsxDXIlfo) and as a therapy dog to help children suffering from dog phobia. He has a wonderful, calm temperament and helps me socialise other dogs as part of my dog training business (https://www.facebook.com/cityworkingdogs). Champ epitomises the true spirit of Australia by being courageous, loving and amazing in every way!
