The Scottie, Phoebe would take home the RBIS and the Akita, Trader, would pick up the BIS.   Trader is the US’ Number One Akita with five BIS this year, three of which have come in the last two months. Trader’s handler Heather Bremmer has a long association with owners, Ann and Tom Bavaria.  Before she began handling their BIS Akita, the then junior handler was their babysitter of choice for their son.    Now there’s a handler you can trust!
