December 16, 2014: New pictures of Siri on her page as well as more updated information about our 2015 litter with her and TN Hooty. Siri goes in on Thursday for her OFA's and we hope to have her results back mid January and then we will meet up with Hooty and his owner. Stay tuned.....
December 14, 2014: Puppy picking is finished and all puppies have gone to their new homes. We will miss them but we are thrilled for those new families and can't wait to watch the puppies grow! Check out new pictures of Hush and his sister Skate, now 4 months old (and in the "ugly" stage). December is a slow month for us as far as competing and traveling goes, but the dogs enjoy the time off until we begin again mid-January.
December 1, 2014: We had a great trip to Pendleton, SC for 3 days of agility. All of the dogs did great!! Stella got to play on Saturday only, and she took 3rd in Master 20" Standard! Not bad considering this girl is "retired"! I miss running my Stellabean. Remedy had her first trial back since she MACh'd last year and she took 1st and 3rd in Master 16" Standard. Player got another QQ on Friday and took 1st place in Master 20" Jumpers on Saturday, and 2nd in Master 20" Standard on Sunday. Dean and Tease did well, earning a Q in Open 20" Standard. Jenga!'s puppies are 7 weeks old now and loved meeting tons of new people and were expert little "campers". They start to head to their new homes later this week....where did the time go?

October 3, 2014: Puppy placing has begun for our Replay litter, however they aren't ready to go to new homes just yet.....please welcome our newest addition, Hush (was Wiccan). We look forward to watching all of these puppies grow....I'm so excited for the new families!
September 28, 2014: Big weekend to end September....first up, Player and I had our first AKC agility trial of the season (and our first trial since March with minimal training as we take the summers off), and he went 4/4, earning 3 first place BLUE ribbons and 1 second place. He has earned his Masters Agility title (MX) and also earned two more QQ's towards his Master Agility Champion (MACh) title. Yeah Playboy!

Good luck to all of our friends competing this week, too -- see y'all soon! Sadly, Jenga! has to sit this year out as she is now 40 days along in her pregnancy (pictured below at 39 days).

August 23-24, 2014: Dean went to Harriman, TN for our 2015 Skyhoundz Classic and Discdogathon World Qualifier -- he took the majority of the dogs with him to play so I could concentrate on the new arrival of Remedy's puppies -- so far all are gaining weight and settling into a routine.
Our little Pomeranian, Raz, earned his first World Invite for MicroDog FREESTYLE for 2015. Wowza! What an amazing little pommie. Limit and Siri had some nice placements in both the Classic Qualifier and the Discdogathon. New daddy, Player, got TWO World Invites for 2015 in TimeTrial (beating Siri by .04s!!) and in Bullseye. Tease qualified for Pairs D/A with Mark Muir. Jenga! and Stella, along with the golden oldies (Annie and Daisy) got to stay home with me.

July 26, 2014: Today is the last qualifier of the 2014 Skyhoundz Classic qualifier (for freestyle and D/A), and Dean and Mark drove up late Friday to play with the dogs. Dean made the top 10 cut with Tease for D/A, while Mark Muir (of Georgia Irish Disc Dogs) made the top ten with our sisters, Siri and Limit. They both put in a great effort amongst a pretty tough group of competition, and Mark and Siri ended up 4th overall in D/A. I'm so proud of all of them! Now we can enjoy a few weekends of rest before Dean's 2015 Skyhoundz World Qualifier event for Classic and Discdogathon on August 23-24 in Harriman, TN. Check it out on our events page....this event requires pre-registration!!!!!
July 19-20, 2014: Dean and his friend Steve Mize, of K9 Sports Konnection, held their 2nd Annual "Catch For a Cure" Discdogathon and Xtreme Distance event this eekend in Jefferson, GA. It was rainy, cold, windy....but we are so happy with the turnout and everyone had fun with their dogs. Thank you to everyone who helped judge and make the event run smoothly.
The "sistah's", Limit and Siri, were on FIRE! Little Bitty Siri took 1st place in Time Trial and in Pairs Distance and Accuracy (paired with Mark Muir of Georgia Irish Disc Dogs, thanks Mark!) which means she gets two invites to the 2014 Skyhoundz World Finals. What a good girl! Not to be outdone by her sister, Limit and Dean took 1st place in Freestyle (WOAH!!!), which means they also get to play in Chattanooga in September.
However, the real show stopper was our little rescue Pomeranian, Raz, as he and Dean punched their first ever ticket for Men's Microdog Xtreme Distance with a catch of ~ 37'! We are so proud of Raz, who will be a year old next week. He has so much heart, drive, and love for playing with us. We are so lucky to have this blue devil.
July 18, 2014: WOOHOOOOOO! Remedy has been confirmed pregnant by our reproduction vet, Dr. Rebecca Kestle, at Cliffwood Animal Hospital. We have scheduled her x-ray for August 20 to confirm the exact amount of puppies, but she counted approximately 4 (+/-). We are beyond excited (and grateful to HBC's for the opportunity to have Remedy for her last litter). What a special bunch of puppies these will be!!!! Click here to go to the puppy page.
July 16, 2014: Dean and Limit had a great freestyle practice tonight (click for video). They are quickly becoming a great team -- Limit is looking sharp for her first official disc dogging season coming up this fall!!!
July 13, 2014: Jenga! and I went to Perry, GA for 2 days of agility. No Q's for us, but we had some great teamwork and any mistakes were handler disconnect areas. She enjoyed the one on one time and swimming every day. Also....HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENGA!!!!!!! I scheduled Remedy's ultrasound for 7/18 -- fingers crossed!!!
July 6, 2014: We had a nice quiet weekend at home.....rare for us!!!!! With the cooler temps, I was able to bring the sheep out and let some of the girls work. I've added videos to Siri's page and to Limit's page.
July 4th, 2014: Happy 4th from our family, to yours! Left to right -- Jenga!, Raz, Tease, Limit, Siri, Stella, Remedy, and Player. The golden oldies (Daisy/Annie) were too busy chasing rabbits!!!! 
June 28-29, 2914: Dean made the long trip up to Roanake Rapids, NC for the Skyhoundz Classic and Discdogathon event. The dogs placed fairly well at this big event with a lot of fantastic teams! Tease was on fire, and earned a beautiful ribbon along with the Mad Dog Disc Club's "Grand Champion" for overall number of points within their club for season. What an awesome and supportive club they are with a very well run event. Tease also took 3rd in Spot Landing and 3rd in Bullseye. Siri (picture on left) made the cut on Saturday for the top 10 dogs in the D/A qualifier and was sitting in 1st place, but in the second round the wind took a few of her throws. Great effort by our baby dog though!!! Dean and his girls are exhausted and are looking forward to a weekend OFF from competition!
June 21-22, 2014: Great discdogging weekend! Dean and Tease took 2nd in Freestyle and Dean and Limit took 3rd in Freestyle -- way to go girlies! Tease also snags a spot or the World Finals in XTreme Distance Unlimited with a catch of 227'! Raz had his disc "debut" and caught a few throws and had great focus and speed -- he also took 2nd in Xtreme Distance Micro! What a guy!!! Also, Siri got 2nd in Xtreme Distance Classic and 2nd place in Spot Landing.
**** Remedy has been bred to Player with puppies (hopefully) expected around August 23! More information can be found on their litter page.
June 14, 2014: Raz got to go to his first agility seminar! He rocked every sequence, generalized in a new location, gave me great distance (for a 6# Pomeranian!!!) and best of all....he had a blast! Karen Holick gave us some great stuff to work on, and we are excited for next years training camp.

What a good girl, and a great start to her frisbee career. Stella earned 3rd place in Light Plastic, and Limit's baby half sister, Siri, snagged 4th.
May 24-25, 2014: Dean and I packed up the BCs and headed to Pooler, GA for a Skyhoundz Discdogathon and Xtreme Distance qualifier.
