[swimma253]

Oh my goodness! Those dogs are soo cute! My dog Meeka is a very High jumper... but shes never been in a show!!! Maybe I should enter her sometime!! :)

[BCBlondie]

GREAT pics!!!! Looks like it was lots of fun!! Happy looks like she's having a blast and loves doing flyball. :) Same with the other BC's.. Thanks for sharing! All the dogs are gorgeous! :D

[dappledoxie]

Great pictures!!! That looks like so much fun

[anna_66]

Wow! I just loved all the pictures:D

[heinz57_79]

What awesome pics! :)

[wolf_Q]

Great photos!! Love all the action going on! :D

[Erika]

I love the pics! I wanted to get Nikki involved with flyball awhile ago, but I never got around to it. We have a flyball box that we got from a friend, but I am too busy to get her on a team. I really should have, though, because Nikki loves to run and jump and she loves her tennis balls. Thanks for sharing your pictures!

[luckies4me]

Great pictures! I have never seen merle border collies before. :)

[Fox-Gal]

Great pictures of all the action. Looks like everyone having a lot of fun.

I guess I'm out of touch with the world but I never heard of flyball intill awhile ago, when I saw it on Discovery on night. It looked like so much fun and a lot of hard work goes into it. I'd love to give it a try, but truth is I'm to lazy. And so are most of my dogs. :D LOL

[wolfie]

Great pics! That's cool that so many of Happy's family are on her team. ^_^ All the dogs are so cute.

[cali]

actually her breeders run the club lol the fast team AKA prairie storm is currently-cajun, punch, sweep, and surge, and the EH! team is-happy, Dyna, Rigs, and Ripley. BUT Happy is moving up to the Storm team soon, and bumping Cajun to Spare(only gets to run if a teammate is injured) because we have several new dogs about to start, and we ALWAYS start new dogs on the EH! team(the whole point of that team is for veterens and newbies) lol so soon enugh the storm team will be entirly siblings lol

[RobiLee]

Just awesome! I loved these pics. Those dogs look happy and seem to love what they are doing.

Thank you so much for sharing these with us.

Robin :)

[cali]

oh they ADORE flyball! lol even retired dogs get to come out to flyball practice sometimes, and you would not believe how happy dogs are when they get to play flyball again lol look at the smile on Rigs face, you know he had a spinal injury shortly before this tourny, he was on pain killers but he wanted to run, that was his choice, I know Rigs if he did not want to run, he would not have run. that crash of happys was in the very first race, she bruised her leg pretty badly, she was limping a lot, but that sure as he77 was not gonna stop her from playin! lol cajun? he is blind in his right eye. :eek: bet ya never would have guessed any of that by lookin at them would ya!

[cloverfdx]

Great photos, and gorgeous dogs.

You race the dogs even when injured, Ouch. Sometimes you just have to say no to them and make them rest. I made that decision with Clover at our last comp she had been sick but was feeling better but i pulled her anyway. I would rather sit out of one comp than risk my dogs health. JMO.

[dukedogsmom]

Those pics are great!! I would love to see flyball in person. Have only seen it on Animal Planet. Those dogs are so cute and from what I can tell, they really love doing it. The pics of them in the air are the best! Like miniature horses.

[cali]

nope, the dogs that were injured are the kind of dogs that if they were in any pain they would not race period. they would just shut right down, plus their preformance would suffer, non of which happend. the judge also not allow that dog to race that is obviously injured. when happy crashed? she just went around and hit the box got the ball and broght it back, everyone rushed to look her over and the judge asked me to run her alone once to make sure she was alright, she limped and was a bit sore, but she was fine. Rigs had the vets permission to run him in the tourny, his owner was told that if he is obviously not in pain during the tourny its safe to run him. oddly enugh Rigs ran BETTER at this tourny then normal lol

[binka_nugget]

Great pictures! I can't wait until I find a better flyball team and start training my boys. It looks like so much fun!

[bckrazy]

omg! Happy is so adorable. she looks fast too! whats her best time? ..Gonzo is sooo in love :3

[cali]

yup happy is fast lol her best time is 3.8 seconds ;) I have been told that happy is VERY powerfull off the box for her size as well, taking the 15 feet from the box to the jump in a single stride!

[bckrazy]

wow.. 3.8 is amazing! her swimmers turn looks awesum too :D. how old is she now? my boy is definately still learning.. just a couple of fun matches for him so far

[cali]

Happy only just started racing at the end of last season, she is turning 4 years in october :p she had some "issues" before lol several judges are VERY suprised to see Happy actually running, becaus ethey had seen the trouble we had with her before, so seeing her run and so darn well is a shocker! lol
