This was definitely a great kick-off to the DockDog season this year... I can't wait! Chicagoland DockDogs hosted an event in Berwyn this weekend and the weather was great. Dylan and Rumor both played in Big Air and in Speed Retrieve. They had a blast. It was even more fun because Chris came home from Poland this weekend so he came to hang out at the event and Dylan got to play with Chris too... he loves Chris.
Both boys had fun at Speed Retrieve. Rumor's time was around 7.7 sec and Dylan time was in the low 8s, I believe. Neither one made it to the finals as 6 of the top 8 dogs were in the 6 second range. I really think Rumor can get in the low 7s/high 6s once he practices a bit more. He has only done this 3 times now so I'm not too worried about it.
For Big Air, both boys had some nice jumps. Dylan jumped over 16' and was having a blast. Rumor had a jump over 19' that put him into the Senior Finals. In the Finals, I totally messed up his throw and his 1st jump was only 15'... his 2nd jump was much better.... 18' 8" which was good enough to win the Senior Division -- good boy Rumz!
We had a blast and our friends did really well too. Ollie won the Masters Division... Fergus was 2nd in the Masters Division. I believe Ryder also got 4th in the Novice division -- everyone did a great job!
