As i am completly new to owning a cocker - what is flyball?
Hiya, flyball is a team sport for dogs, kind of like a relay race where they have to run over a series of 4 hurdles and trigger a spring loaded 'flyball box; to release a tennis ball that they bring back over the hurdles.
You can see more information on my team website
www.redroseflyball.com Teal is currently in training and doing very well, Drake is too young to start yet but we are doing the groundwork retrieves and recalls already. These are the first cockers I have trained as I have border collies (the collies really do dominate the sport) but I trained and raced my brothers english springer spaniel Oskar up until recently, he ran his last tournament at the end of September then got ill and died very unexpectedly about 4 weeks ago which was very very sad
he was one of the best springers in the sport...you can see pics of him here
