Our cover picture this issue shows Ted (with Alison) from the Maple Leafs who has competed in flyball for twelve years – the longest serving dog in the

BFA.

TED Jack Russell Terrier Owned by Alison O'Rourke

Ted came to me having been with the RSPCA for about a year after he was found tied up on the M27 and by that time he was a complete nutcase.

His release was and still is flyball and at 15 years of age he is still running with the Maple Leafs, after having been retired twice. It amazes me that he continues to single stride the jumps and although his catching skills aren't always that good, there is nothing wrong with his nose, as Doreen Smith found out when he raided the secret stash of chocolates in her T-shirt tent near the ring at Anglesey!

Ted was the first small height dog that could run 4.50 seconds and took the Jets to new levels back in the early days. One highlight was at Longleat when the Jets were the first team to go sub 18.00 seconds.

He has been running since 1995 and in 2006 after 11 years in the sport, he received his Jade Award being the first non Border Collie/WSD or Cross-Breed to reach that level.

I feel that Ted has been and still is an Ambassador for Flyball for many years. Who knows, maybe one day the BFA will honour him with a Lifetime Achievement Award named after him.

Top Tips

1. Home, garden & visitors a. Wait until your person has made their bed before going upstairs for a bounce.

b. Don’t just wait until the garden has been cleared of your previous deposits before going again – wait until the lawn has been mowed too before making a fresh deposit. Better still, wait until everything’s been tidied up and the visitors have arrived and are admiring the garden.

c. Treat your people to a great game of ‘hide and seek’ by getting yourself locked in the spare room/garage/shed etc.

d. Always beg from visitors. They’ll think you always do it and either you’ll get something or the visitors will just think you’ve been badly brought up (and may tell your people, so watch out for any backlash from this – such as being shut away while they eat).

Greetings Flyballers

First of all my apologies to those members who are eagerly awaiting the receipt of their FR by e-mail. This method will be starting with the November issue. I now have a list of members who have opted for electronic delivery but some have not supplied e-mail addresses. I shall do an e-mailing test following the delivery of this issue. Those of you who opted for this method but who don’t receive an e-mail please get in touch with me so that I can complete my list.

As you will be aware, the ‘summer’ issues tend to get clogged up with results. Last year we tried an issue without any results but reinstated them due to members’ wishes. I’m trying something different this time by doing a results’ supplement. This solves the problem of too many pages in the issue itself while still being able to keep to the cheapest postage. The format is more compact but still takes up ten pages! Your views will be appreciated. (Yes, really)

This issue is twenty-four pages but it’s been quite a struggle to fill. Some of my regular contributors seem to have fallen by the wayside, perhaps they feel it’s time other members had a go. Your contributions really are welcome. I can only produce each issue from what I receive.

It has been such a joy going to tournaments recently. All the old spirit of Flyball seems to have returned. The competitiveness is still there of course, it wouldn’t be racing without it but the friendliness and banter have resurged and it’s fun again. Handlers have become more tolerant of mistakes made by a few dogs and have even been willing to joke about these errant souls. Believe me, if you have a dog that wishes to ‘do it’s own thing’ no matter how hard you have worked to correct it, it’s no fun feeling that other flyballers think you shouldn’t be racing. It simply isn’t possible to re-create racing conditions in training – the dogs do know the difference. Ed.

There is no I in team…

But there is in accidents, twice, hospital, visits and car accident.

I wanted to say a very public thank you to all the members of the Marnick Bytes for literally picking me up again and again and dragging me through the season so far.

To all the people who have picked me up, (literally) offered words of sympathy and hugs of support through the soap opera that my life has become over the last six months I thank you.

To Rachel Child - who missed a day of flyball and came with me to Kettering Hospital when I fell and hurt my knee at Market Harborough. Hugged me, kept my spirits up and put a rocket up the Doctors A**e when necessary. But most of all she held me down and listened to me scream as they stuck the big needle in my knee. Love ya Rachie Babe!!!

To Andy & Rebecca Soloman and Mark Child – who waited at Market Harborough Leisure Centre long into the night for us to return from the hospital. But most of all for making the best cup of tea I have ever had on the camp stove in the back of your van. x

To Rebecca Soloman - for missing a day of Flyball and coming with me to Selby A & E and then York hospital (to see the fit Doctor!!!). For giving me loads of hugs and support while they put my hand back together (as well as swooning over the fit Doctor!!) Love ya Becca x

To Lee of the Bouncers – for scrapping me off the gym floor at Selby and driving me to hospital despite me screaming and being hysterical in the back of the car. In my defence my hand hurt like HELL. Also for rescuing my caravan from just outside Eggborough when I broke down. You are a true Gentleman. x

To Margaret and Steve of the Marnicks - for flying down the motorway to our rescue when we had a very bad accident with our car and caravan. Without your support that day we would never have made it home. You know what you did for us that day you truly are wonderful. xx

To my long-suffering team captain, Doreen - Little did she know that when she invited me to join the Bytes she would spend most of her time waving me off in an ambulance. Your support and hours on the telephone when I thought I could take no more really was priceless. Plus the Byte cure really works in every situation.

To all the Marnick Bytes – that have kept us supplied with Bacon Butties and cups of tea while we had no caravan. You’re all Supa stars!!

But most of all to my Husband Ian – to say we have been through the mill this year is an understatement. I am not an easy person to live with when I am in pain. But you’ve managed it. You are my world.

The moral of this story is that Flyball is not just about having fun with your dogs. It’s about the team work and friendships that you can’t explain to a non Flyballer.

Maureen Hendry (Northern Bytes)

PS. I have been the butt of many jokes over the last few months. To all the people involved - I have your names on a separate list and I’ll get you back when you least expect it. Be afraid be very afraid. ☺

PPS. The bubble wrap suit is on order and should arrive any day now!!

A few points arising from the Committee Meeting held on 22nd April 2007

Hall of Fame - Chris will get the information from Wayne and make a start on entering dogs up to the year 2000. It was also suggested that a list of teams that have run the fastest time in any one year should be included. This would go back as far as the information is available.

Update on lights – A slight modification may be made to try to stop any faults occurring due to bright sunlight. Steve now has the older style BFA lights and will be modifying them to make them easier to transport. Once they have been tested they should be available to use at some shows.

Summer Championship 2007 – The Nuneaton Flyers have agreed to host the tournament this year. The committee still wish to run this event as a three-day show in the future to enable as many teams as possible to compete. Teams that host these shows on behalf of the BFA will be reimbursed with an appropriate fee.

Measuring Hoops – The new hoop was handed to Howard for Head Judges to try out at shows before any more are made.

Head Judges Seminar – Head Judges concerns regarding the logbook were discussed. Howard agreed to write to all Head Judges explaining the Committee’s thoughts on this matter.

Secretary’s correspondence – A letter had been received from a member expressing concerns about tournament organisers extending limited shows. The Committee agreed to change the rules accordingly. In future shows may only be extended by one division (usually six teams). It was also agreed that tournament organisers should be setting more realistic limits for their events.

Membership Secretary’s Report – Membership as of 21st April 2007 is 1312.

Show Secretary’s Report – It was agreed that once the advance notice, informing when show schedules will be available, had been posted on the discussion board, no further reminders will be given before the release date of the schedule. Should tournament organisers wish to they can put on their own reminders.

Matters Arising since the AGM

Rule Changes – It was decided that in future, after the recent rule changes from this year’s AGM have been issued, no more changes would be sent out. Any rule changes agreed either at any future AGM’s or by the Committee during the year would come into effect the following January 1st. The only deviation from this would be due to a safety issue and this change would go out with immediate effect.

Membership Renewals and Financial Year – to be changed to January 1st.

Break-out Rule – this would be reviewed again at the first Committee meeting after the summer months. However, it was decided to reverse the decision that teams that break-out would forfeit their points. The Stats. Officer will be asked to monitor teams submitting times and how many times those teams break-out.

Starters Rules – A set of guidelines would be drawn up but no rules would be enforced.

Annual Awards – a letter is to be sent to all team captains explaining that these would change as agreed at the AGM. Their thoughts would be sought regarding the suggestion that all the Annual Awards should be scrapped, except the Claire Gristwood and Junior Handler awards, and a fastest time of the year award and team of the year award based on consistent times be introduced

Any Other Business

Next Year’s AGM – the date was confirmed as the 6th April 2008.

Dog’s Running out of the Ring – Following an incident at a recent show, concerns were raised regarding the number of dogs that are intentionally being trained to run out of the ring. It was agreed, for safety reasons, especially at public events that dogs should be encouraged to stay in the ring when they were racing. As this would be difficult to enforce, no new rule would be introduced at this time.

Date of the next meeting – Sunday 15th July or 28th October 2007

Thanks to Graham Nye As you are all aware Graham Nye is standing down from being membership secretary and I would just like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to Graham 'my hero' for all the help (and cheek) he has given me over the past couple of years that I have been doing the Stats. Pam and Graham have had to put up with many, many phone calls from myself requesting some information about members and their dogs whilst I’m calculating the points. I personally think he has left some rather large boots to fill and I hope whoever takes over is prepared for the constant emails begging for help!!

Thanks again Graham

DOGS:

BEST WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAMME You've seen those ads on TV promising amazing results from all sorts of contraptions. Well, there's no need to invest in fancy equipment. If you have (or can borrow) a dog, you have everything you need to get in shape now!!! The following exercises can be done anywhere, anytime. Balance and Co-ordination, Exercise 1: Remove your puppy from unsuitable tight places. If they're too small for him, they're certainly too small for you. Do it anyway! Balance and Co-ordination, Exercise 2: Practice not falling when your dog bounds across the full length of the room, sails through the air, and slams both front paws into the back of your knees. Balance and Co-ordination, Exercise 3: (for use with multiple dogs) Remove all dogs from lap and answer the phone before it stops ringing. Balance and Co-ordination, Exercise 4: (alternate) For older dogs, attempt to cross a room without tripping over the dog. Get off your couch without crushing any part of a sleeping elderly dog.

Briscoe’s Diary Or

Tales from an English Springer cont….. April 28th 2007

Well I’m still here. Mum says I must have a guardian angel, whatever that is, as I haven’t improved at all. Cheek! I have grown quite a bit and now I can almost keep up with the others when we go for walks in the forest. It doesn’t bother me when I loose them I just do my own thing. Rabbits have the most wonderful smell and a couple of times I have ‘flushed’ (that’s what Mum calls it) one. You should see the others give chase, they never catch them though. Auntie Rosie, the lurcher, gets nearest but she is so excited that, when she is within grabbing distance, she starts to bark and looses momentum. Plus it makes the poor rabbit run faster! Mum’s glad we enjoy the chase but doesn’t know what she would do if we caught one. At least she doesn’t panic when we are all missing now; she knows we won’t loose her! Mum says when we finish the walk I look as if I am wearing black fisherman’s waders, what are they? With a great stream and lots of mud to plough through - so I get a bit muddy? It dries off in the van on the way home. Uncle Rusty and Auntie Annie get away with it. Just because I’m mostly white! Pretzel looks really funny though, like a ginger, muddy, spiked pom pom on thin sticks!

I can get up the really steep banks now if I take a run at them, and coming down is just easy, I stretch my front legs out and slide. Can’t understand why Mum shakes her head and laughs, she says I look like I’m diving! I use the same method to come downstairs in the mornings; Mum can’t carry me any more.

Pretzel the Pomeranian is still a right bossy boots; mind you give the girl credit. We had a new Jack Russell come to Flyball, nice little thing but so gobby! Marmite her name is, she raced ‘round barking at everyone, all the big dogs looked the other way, except Auntie Annie who shouted back ‘til Mum told her to stop. Pretzel? Well she isn’t a girl to take that, she charged back shouting and showing her impressive set of teeth, Marmite backed down. Don’t blame her I wouldn’t cross Pretzel either.

I am doing restrained recalls now, just a couple. Mum says I am too young to do much, but I am raring to go. I can also jump the very low agility jumps, it’s good fun and I get a treat and lots of praise. Show off Pretzel has to join in. She goes backwards and forwards as if she’s got springs. She is so treat mad Mum says it is difficult to get her doing Flyball training. She doesn’t want the ball if she thinks Mum has treats. I love balls, the treats are a bonus but the ball is the fun thing.

The word ‘NO’ still figures largely but not quite so bad now. I leave the shoes and things alone as it isn’t worth the hassle. But ‘she’ isn’t keen on us bringing lumps of rotting wood and dried grass (complete with loads of lovely dirt) in to play tug with. She says we should stick to the raggies, but they just don’t pull apart the same do they?

Another good game is ‘jump the chickens!’ We have a few hens, they are kept in a great big run but the stupid things like to sunbathe alongside the fence. If we rush up and bark you should see them scatter. When we go to Auntie Lynda’s for Flyball, she has chickens and ducks that are loose! But once the Drake had stretched his neck and hissed at me I decided they weren’t up for playing the same game. Mum says she is glad they are stroppy Muscovies it’ll teach me to leave them alone. Really… all she has to do is shout ‘NO’!! and I stop anyway.

Mum is getting the rest of our Agility equipment out this week; she says I can do ‘bits’. I think I could do the lot - show that Pretzel a thing or two.

Judges Report - Drax Tournament – Sunday 6th May 2007

This tournament took place over the May Day Bank Holiday weekend. We were presented with plenty of flyball, including Starters plus the Multibreed on Monday, put on by the ever so obliging Kellington Team.

This is a great venue with everything you could wish for in terms of facilities - bar, food (an excellent carved buffet on Sunday), showers and toilets. The running surface is great and we were blessed with fine weather the whole time.

Unfortunately Saturday’s racing became a little bogged down, mainly due to a lights problem in the morning that cost us an hour. Also two out of the four divisions ran with seven teams and there were also two divisions of starters. Subsequently the presentations finished at 9.00pm. What’s that I hear you say Roger - never again…?

The Tournament Head Judge, Jayne Owen from the Cheshire Set and I did the dog measuring over the weekend. We had the use of a new instrument that was on trial, along with the hoops, and it received some favourable reports.

I Judged Division One on the Sunday, which was quite competitive and produced some excellent racing, the best of which was the ever improving Go Fours against the Cleveland Comets in Race twelve. Go Fours were 2-1 up, but unfortunately the handler of the second dog, trying just a bit too hard, got two lights which gifted it back to the Comets who, although running out eventual winners with a fastest time of 18.19secs., by no means had their own way, with a couple of teams taking legs off them.

There were some great times as well, the Go Fours going sub-18.00secs. with their fastest ever time of 17.91secs. Not far behind were the Dog Friendly Flyers with a 17.95secs., the teams finishing second and third respectively. The Cheshire Chasers (who were always doing just that) came in fourth place, but had a creditable 18.63secs. Fifth were the Barney Owlers with an 18.52secs. A mix up in the last race ended up with a handler on the deck, fortunately not badly injured, after colliding with a dog from their own team. Last but not least were the Crazy Chieftains holding up the pack with a 19.34secs. after a key dog was injured in the first race.

Well done to Sue and Roger and all the Kellington Team for the hard work they put in over the weekend. The announcer on the mike sounded good and kept teams informed about when they were racing. Even Alison got in the mood by judging the Starters Division, and I am sure she will progress to the main divisions in time.

Finally a big thank you to Kate our boxloader in the Multibreed and to Martin with Bailey, our borrowed crossbreed, for standing in at the last minute due to an unforeseen problem.

DUCKBOARD ETIQUETTE Duckboards are placed over particularly boggy patches of ground for the benefit of humans. They are sometimes covered in chicken wire to prevent your human from slipping. Should you catch your nails in this netting, it can be very painful.

The solution is to avoid duckboards at all costs. Just go through the bog instead or jump into your human’s arms.

Dog ASBO’s. Could your dog become public enemy Number One?

A few weeks ago, a member of the Magnets’ team arrived at training with a petition for us to sign. This was about Local Control Orders regarding dogs in Northampton. Naturally, I, along with the rest of the team, signed up. We took the petition along to our tournament at Daventry and collected some more signatures, then the petition was ready to be handed in to the council. Shortly afterwards I received an e-mail inviting me to join Northants dogs. I visited their web site and have been gathering further information that I feel is worthwhile passing on to all of you. So quoting from Dogs Today June 2007 issue:

Walking down to your local park and letting your dog have a good gallop may soon become a civil offence, as more and more local authorities are implementing dog control orders – banning dogs from public spaces, forcing on-lead restrictions, and enforcing other draconian measures. Other legislation is also eroding dog owners’ rights. It’s time to fight for what is important to you.

The law (Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act [Dog Control Orders]) came into force on 6th April 2006 and basically it applies to:

Fouling of land by dogs and the removal of dog faeces. The keeping of dogs on leads. The exclusion of dogs from land. The number of dogs that a person may take onto any land.

The recommended fine is £75, rising to £1,000 if it goes to court. But the fine is only a recommendation – councils can charge what they like!

As authorities are becoming aware of the new act, an increasing number are implementing the control orders, often with no thought of how dog owners will be affected. One council even proposed an order to keep dogs on leads all the time on all land in the open air! The only place left to run free would have been the dog’s own garden. (Even that’s in the open air! Ed). Other councils are designating ‘exercise zones’ and these could well be very small. It doesn’t take much of a leap to wonder if some of our flyball venues on public land could be affected.

You may enjoy taking your dog for forest walks, at present the Forestry Commission has decided to apply its own bylaws, namely that dogs should be under close control but if it changed its policy the law is there to enforce an on-lead order.

Many people also feel that some authorities will use the act as a money making exercise. (Following on from speed cameras? Ed.)

We all know that dogs need free-running exercise to remain physically and mentally healthy and in fact the Animal Welfare Act makes it your responsibility to ensure that your pet is cared for appropriately according to its specific needs. So the two acts are actually contradictory.

Before any dog control order is introduced, the local authority must have a so-called consultation period (although it is not obliged to take any notice of public reaction!), and the proposals will be advertised in your local newspaper. However, notices are in the back of papers (notices section) and are rarely read by many people. So do be alert!

Take Action

The Kennel Club runs an information network called KC dog where you can find up to date news on dog control orders. The scheme is to help all dog owners protect their rights and freedoms. There is also guidance that includes templates to help you to get started in order to influence public policy.

Dogs trust will also address the relevant authorities and put pressure on them – but they need to be alerted.

Some MPs have signed up to an early day motion welcoming the KC dog and its work. Has yours?

Contact your local councillor/s.

ADVANTAGES OF BEING CLEAN (SOMETIMES) Just think! Being thoroughly cleaned by your human occasionally makes getting dirty again even more enjoyable. So…let your human win once in a while – let them use all the cleaning products they’ve bought for you.

At least you know you won’t be clean for long!

The start of this weekend was glorious, perhaps even a little too hot, as I set off from Silverstone to Loseley Park. My first mistake was in choosing to travel via the A34 from Oxford. Now I had heard traffic announcements about some festival or other somewhere around Woodstock, but (stupidly) thought it would have turned off and wouldn’t affect me (also I wanted to avoid the M25!). Wrong! We crept along for what seemed to be forever. Eventually it was clear and I continued along my merry way without further delays. Good fortune joined me. As I don’t have sat.nav. I didn’t get directed through Guildford, as I understand some other folk did. The last part of the journey was through a very pretty area, but where was the entrance I was looking for? I found a sort of lay-by and pulled in to give the advance party a ring. It turned out I was about one hundred yards away, just round a small bend and there was a large banner informing me that I was in the right place.

The advance party had set up close to the entrance, very convenient for all the facilities – toilets, exercise area, skips for the rubbish and only a short walk to the rings across the bridge. I looked at other campers situated up the incline and decided we were in a better spot. Wrong! The weather decided to ‘do the dirty’ on us all and my caravan was sitting in a puddle by the end of the weekend. My thanks to Brenda of the Pods for pulling my caravan onto the hard standing before she left on Tuesday morning.

The Barkshire Bandits and Maple Leafs had done a grand job getting everything just right for this special European Championship tournament. They did us all proud promoting British Flyball as fun, fast and friendly. Running with two rings went like clockwork and we were able to have a lunch break each day. Despite the deteriorating weather conditions everything kept going smoothly, even when the ring needed moving first thing Monday morning and flying gazebos added to Sunday night’s entertainment.

Our European visitors gave us much food for thought, being very innovative with wheels on boxes etc. and giving boxloaders lessons with ‘housekeeping’ as they fastidiously cleaned their boxes after each leg! They were very happy to chat with us and their excellent command of English made everything very relaxed. It was fascinating watching them race, they were noisy, totally committed and fast. They also entertained us by sheltering under their gazebos while moving around the outside of the ring to watch from different vantage points. I discovered that their lights give three ambers before the green so they needed to adjust their start – I can’t say it caused them any difficulties. Also they still have a one second break-out and had worked out exactly how to remain within their time – needless to say some teams got caught out as they hadn’t realised we’d changed our rule, but they were able to quickly readjust. As they don’t have as many teams racing as we do, I learned that their tournaments consist of a round robin in the morning followed by double elimination in the afternoon so their dogs get much more racing than ours do.

The racing was next to none in every division, teeth clenching to the end. The atmosphere was brilliant. It was great to meet new people and catch up with old friends. The venue was superb and the entertainment excellent. For all sorts of reasons it was certainly a weekend to remember. The weather was certainly memorable - but it would take a lot more to put off true enthusiasts! The Jolly Jumpers from Holland were the eventual winners and Stephan Van Thienen ‘wanted to thank everyone who made the European championship possible, for their hospitality’. He added that ‘it was a great honour and we've really enjoyed to run against all new teams of a country who has such a great flyball tradition. The weather-circumstances weren't perfect but they were the same for everybody and it didn't make the races less tense, believe me. We hope that this tournament was the start for closer bonds between the teams of all European countries and that the sea doesn't stop English teams taking part in the next European championships or other international tournaments’.

NW Summer Veterans’ League – Ryecroft Farm 2nd June

After a hot day’s racing, a cooling Saturday evening at Ryecroft Farm saw the first trial run of a new fun event in flyball – the NW Summer Veterans’ League.

Nine individual dogs were randomly split into 3 teams. Similar to Starters’ racing within netting and over 7 inch jumps. The initial rules were very simple, no lights and no re-runs; but they are likely to change with future tournaments. At the moment, you could call it “Pommie no-rules flyball”!

The atmosphere was very relaxed, spectators and officials sipping beers/wine. This was a non-sanctioned event I hasten to add. The dogs, however, were as keen as ever.

There was some lightweight banter about start times. Steve Leek telling Ron Edge that he had a 0.6 and Ron replying “are you sure? It felt more like 6.0”. Then Ron excelled himself with a 1.7 start time.

Halfway through the proceedings Tony from Cheshire Set decided that Team names A, B and C were too boring and composed hybrid names from the dogs’ individual teams. So the results were:-

First - Yogi, Rosy and Polliadh in Crazy Rapid Dolphins Second - Bracken, Fern and George in Blackpool Grasshopper Pods Third - Nikki, Tug and Boogie Bear in Crazy Cheshire Coasters

At the end of racing I asked my husband Mike, who had been assisting on the line, who had won, to which he replied: “I don’t honestly know, but I don’t think it matters”. And it didn’t, because there were no losers, all nine dogs were winners. Which just goes to show – you can take the dog out of flyball but you can’t take flyball out of the dog.

THE PAINT BRUSH TECHNIQUE If there is a stagnant pool close to home, you might enjoy the ‘paint brush’ technique, especially if you have a bushy tail. ‘Dip’ your tail into the pond then carry your tail curled under your body between your back legs in order to hide it from your human. Once home, stand with your back to the wall and wag your tail enthusiastically to show the rest of the family what a good time you’ve had on your walk. This works best on light–coloured walls and delicate wallpapers.

Judges Report – Cantley Park, Doncaster – Sunday 24th June 2007 This was another double ring tournament from those masters of logistics, the Doncaster Belle Stars. It was well run, well organised and only the lights let us down, (nothing new there then). One day, one day we will have a faultless lighting set.

Anyway with racing under way and that superb food van to keep us all sustained, the flyballers were a happy bunch. There was some great racing as seems to be the norm these days. Even the forecasted bad weather stayed away until midday on the Sunday but even then it was nothing compared to the heavy rain and floods that followed the following day.

I was invited to Judge Division Five and it was a pleasure to see such a sporting division, there were no arguments, just sheer enjoyment. The West Riding Wizards won this division at a canter with a fastest time of 19.40secs. They had a couple of excellent dogs, especially the superb lead dog – nothing could touch it. I was told the dog’s owner was working and another club member was running it. The second place went to the Kellington Team who started well, winning three races up to the interval, then things went a bit pear shaped and the Rottie started playing up with a couple of interferences. Their fastest time was 19.86secs. The third placed team, Nuneaton Dodgers 19.60secs. (who are always a hard team to beat) looked every bit the experienced team they are and came out fighting in the afternoon after two narrow defeats by the teams above them. Fourth place went to the Cleveland Whirlwinds 20.40secs. were beaten by better teams, but the German Shepherd (running anchor) did well. Fifth place went to Wires Alive 20.05secs. who had a shock win over the Kellington Team in the last race. Holding up the pack were the Red Rose Rascals 21.16, who were all at sea in this group, even the Beardie got lost (must be all that hair it has to see through). Perhaps my mate Len was practising for his Donkey Award?

Well done once again to Robin and Debbie and all the hard working Belle Stars for a great show at a great venue.

Howard Campbell (Grasshoppers Flyball Team)

GET A LOAD OF THAT SMELL Don’t be put off by your human pulling a face and holding their nose. Don’t forget dogs have a far superior sense of smell, and therefore only you can really appreciate fully your acquired aroma.

Congratulations

Jackie Williams and Kim

on gaining their Flyball Dog Intermediate

From everyone at Valley

Val Currie and Missy

Would like to say an enormous big Thank You

to:

Audrey Neighbour whose cunning ploy got us started in Flyball.

Peter & Delia and all the other Pods without whose patience and help we might have given up.

Doreen Wright of the Wolf Pack who believed in Missy and when I kept on voicing my doubts, kept telling me she would do flyball.

Jean’s GSD Raffles and Dave Green who between them managed to stop Missy making right angled turns towards the other dogs – a broken toe gained when crashing into Dave was certainly a

salutary lesson!

Everyone in the Molten Magnets we have trained and raced with, gone to tournaments with and had a great social time with. Especially the Metals, Chica, Bobby and Riva who have made it possible for us to run together (over 8 inches) for the last three years and have such great racing so often going

to five legs.

Everyone we have had such pleasure in knowing and racing against, the competitiveness, friendliness and banter is second to none.

Without All of you, Missy would not have been a Flyball dog let alone gained her Diamond Award

MUCKY WELLIES When you feel it’s time to go out for a walk again, why not fetch your human’s soil caked Wellies and drop them in their lap? (This is a good way to remind them of your needs.) Your human will be so pleased that they didn’t waste their time by cleaning the boots, only to get them dirty again!
