VAIL A 4-year old Belgian Malinois named Sarin won the K9 Superwall finals Sunday evening by jumping over a 9-foot, 3-inch wall in Lionshead Village at the GoPro Mountain Games.
Sarin’s handler, Whitney Lightner, said after visiting from Glendale, Arizona, to enter Sarin into the DockDogs Big Air competition in 2019, she discovered the K9 Superwall competition and figured Sarin might perform well in the event. The K9 Superwall was a new event at the Mountain Games in 2019.
Sarin won that event, and Lightner began looking into K9 Superwall competitions, learning a great deal about the emerging K9 competition.
