Flint is seen with his owner Sue Redelinghuys and the judge from the Free State Frikkie Mostert at the at the Kennel Union Of South Africa National Obedience Dog of the Year prize-giving where he took the win.

The year started badly for him as he became extremely ill with biliary, and Redelinghuys said it was only due to the efforts of the dedicated staff at the Oakfields Veterinary Clinic that he slowly recovered.

In August, he managed to defend his National Obedience Dog of the Year title, in Bloemfontein, for the third consecutive year.

Redelinghuys explained that only dogs that have already qualified with a championship certificate can enter, so they are the top dogs and handlers from all the provinces.

He also won the Goldfields Obedience Dog of the Year title for the second year in a row.

During the year he also managed to qualify as a grand champion tracker dog and a grand champion obedience dog.
