Racing at the TC Pet Expo

The team had an exciting day Sunday at the Twin Cities Pet Expo at the Convention Center in downtown Minneapolis. We only ran one day at the flyball tournament there. It was a very difference venue – matting, loudspeakers, music, tons of dogs [most doing booths], and the racing lanes were much closer than at most local tournaments.

I didn’t see the statistics but we did win a few races. We did have several faulted runs with dogs having performance issues, including a couple of the dogs that do not typically drop the ball [before the finish line] did drop the ball in a few races.

It appears that we had the team with both the largest dog and the smallest dog competing: Smokey the Rottweiler X Lab mix is almost 80 pounds and Mina the Yorkshire Terrier is a tad over 4 pounds! We certainly demonstrated that most all dogs of various sizes, body types & breeds can do flyball!

I was worried about getting all my stuff out of the second basement of the Convention Center so I didn’t the statistics of how the team placed on Sunday.
