• 11 am - 12 noon -- Anonymous Fly Ball Dogs

  Flyball, a team sport for dogs was invented in California in the late 70's. It is a relay race with 4 dogs on a team. The course consists of a starting line, 4 hurdles spaced 10 feet apart and a box. The irst hurdle is 6 feet from the starting line and the box is 15 feet from the last hurdle for a 51 foot overall length. The dogs jump the hurdles on a spring loaded box that shoots out a tennis ball. The dog catches the tennis ball and then runs back over the 4 hurdles. When the dog crosses the starting line, the next dog starts. The first team to have all 4 dogs run without errors wins the heat.
