Santa Paws 2012

Flyball Dog Champion

Peanut won Flyball Dog Champion at Santa Paws, her 3rd flyball competition this weekend. Peanut was sick at last years Santa Paws tournament. It was right after she came down with Small Dog Shaking Syndrome  Now fully recovered yet a few pounds heavier from the steroids and new food stealing habit she was able to compete and won her Flyball Dog Champion ribbon! I can't wait to see her times and points, she must be getting close to Flyball Dog Champion Silver.




Here is Peanut in one of the races. She runs last- If I could get her to stop paying attention to the dog running back she would be so much faster! You can see her stop and snap at Maddie before running down. This was only her 3rd tournament, hopefully she'll get there!

Peanut wins!

Peanut won 3 ribbons today at the Flyball tournament! The first ribbon was for Flyball dog 20 points. The second was for receiving 100 points for the title of Flyball dog excellent! The dogs earn points by how fast the team runs in each heat. If the team runs under 25 seconds each dog earns 25 points, 28 seconds each dog earns 5 points, 32 seconds each dog earns 1. Peanuts 3rd ribbon was for being a rescue dog, the judges picked a few of their favorite rescue dogs that ran. I was disappointed there weren't more rescue dogs there.

Fetch n Fly Flyball Tournament

Peanut and Big Peanut~ Both rescues they look so much alike!

Peanut was in her first official Flyball tournament this weekend in Henrietta. It was a small tournament but it was still loud enough for me! All those dogs in one place can get pretty crazy.

2 Fast Fur U @ Barkaritaville!

The 2 Fast Fur U Flyball team at the Barkaritaville competition in Massachusetts. Peanut wasn't able to go but her friends did an awesome job!

Fabulous Flyball!

Peanut was pretty naughty at flyball this week. She is starting to get into the habbit of running out of her lane and into another dogs lane! I'm not sure what to do to correct this issue but I don't want to enter her in any competitions until I'm confident she will stay in her lane and ignoor the other dogs. Shes still young I hope she out grows this soon. 

Flyball Friday! 5-13

Peanut had a blast at flyball on Friday. We are working on passing drills. My crazy baby likes to growl and bark at the dog comming at her before she takes off. Me and Peanut are hoping to go to our first competition soon so we need to register for our CRN number and I am starting to figure out when to let her go depending on what dog runs in front of her.

Flyball Friday!

Peanut's Favorite Part: Hurdles!

Flying Lou Bob

Peanut made me laugh so hard when she kept on running after she had the ball and ran right out the door! Into a fenced in yard thank goodness. I can just imagine her thinking come on mom and dad lets go play fetch outside.

Great Flyball Pictures

This Friday at Flyball practice we had a great guy taking pictures of the dogs with his fancy camera. Useually it is so hard to get good pictures on my regular digital camera because the dogs are moving so fast.


Peanut Flying

Peanut is starting to single bound on most of the hurdles now!

Pretty Tula

Peanut doing a full run

Peanut is doing soo good at flyball practices lately! She is trying to single bound between the hurdles. Shes doing pretty good but we need to work on rear end awareness to strengthen the muscles in her rear legs. We have started doing this by practicing her sit pretty and then getting her to stand on her rear legs from the sit pretty position.
