Player sets a new WORLD RECORD!!!!

March 2, 2015:

What a fun weekend we had at our Annual Relay for Life Skyhoundz Disc Competition! Thanks to all who came to help, compete, and support ourevent!!! The dogs had tons of fun even though the weather was pretty darn cold. Saturday was the DiscdogThon and Player snagged another qualifying spot for Worlds in Spot Landing and also set a new WORLD RECORD in Pairs D/A with Dean and Mark Muir. What an awesome team they make -- I am so proud. Tease Qualified and took 1st in Freestyle with Jenga! and Limit hot on her heels!! Hart made his discdog debut and put down a smoking 19 second run in Time Trial and held his own in Pairs and in Bullseye....this was his first time playing somewhere different and with distraction and he was so focused!! What a good boy. Sunday brought Extreme Distance -- Remedy  qualified and took 1st in Microdog with Stacey Muir and Jenga! qualified and took first in Unlimited with Mike Hammack. We are so proud of them all!! Flirt also took second in Classic with Mike and Remedy's daughter Hope (Remedy x Thunder '13) qualified in her first ever two Extreme distance events with catches of 172'!!!! Incredible!!! 




February 26, 2015: SNOW DAY!! We got about 6" of snow overnight and the dogs have had a blast running, playing, and eating the snow. Here's the pack (minus the old dogs, who were too busy shoveling the snow into their mouths). Brrrrr! Tonight we pack up the RV and head to Douglasville for our 2nd Annual Relay for Life Skyhoundz Discodgathon and XTreme Distance. The dogs can't wait to play!

 

February 21, 2015: Hush gets to see sheep for the first time -- new pictures on his page. He is now 6 months old!
