Super Retriever Series: Superfly

I realize I've been seriously slacking on the blogging so I'll try to catch up. These are only from last weekend...only a week late right?


Last weekend we had the opportunity to enter Kobi in a dock jumping competition! It was sponsored by Scheel's but the event occurs at several places all over the country. Kobi competed in the amateur series since he'd never jumped before. There were around 40 dogs that competed! The first place winner then got an automatic spot into "The Pros"! Since Kobi absolutely loooves water and we taught him to jump off the dock at Okoboji a few weeks ago, we thought he might do alright. Well he did better than just alright and ended up getting 4th place with a personal best jump of 17 feet, 1 inch! He just missed getting a medal. We were so proud of our puppy! :) You can check out the SRS website here for more information and pics.

  3. They measure it with a computer actually! They measure from the end of the dock from where the dog's 'bottom'/beginning of tail touches the water.

    Yeah, too bad before we adopted him someone mean tried to dock his tail.
