I like watching those shows where the dogs have the obstacle courses and have to jump over things or run through things and get the fastest time. they're pretty fun!

Oh you mean agility courses! Yes those are really neat to watch, never been to one myself but it would be great to attend to an agility event Cool

Disc Dog? Is that where they catch freesbies? That seems like loads of fun, I don't think I could do it because I'm not very cordinated...there is a Wii game that has that....needless to say I failed Nervous

Yes, Disc Dog is the frisbee compitition. It is a riot to watch. It takes HUGE amounts of training and tons of patience on the part of the trainer/handler ... If you have an exceptional dog, you can do well in just a few years. Most say that they have had to work for 4-5 years before they did well in compitition.

Well it sounds like lots of fun but also equal amounts of work, I was never really good at throwing freesbies to begin with so I think I would either like to do dog freestyle or agility Basketball

It is a jumping compitition where a dog running down a runway and the owner throws a lure out in front of the dog to get it to jump.

The dog jumps into a pool of water and they mesure the distance he jumps. The call it Dock Dog because it simulate a dog running down a boat dock and jumping into a lake. The current record is about 21 feet I think

They also compete for Vertical Jump. The hang the lure above the water and the dog has to Jump to get it. The record is about 8 feet.

Here is a like to the official site: http://www.dockdogs.com/

Heres some YouTube video of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QS7gd6enjE

We have one (I don't know how to say.... For exemple BBC New is.... (program?) ) on horses and the other one on animals. Sometimes animals talk about dogs but I can't see competitions etc...

To finish, this programs are paying. Rolling Eyes

Oh so you have to pay for them. Yes same here, thats the reason I can't watch them often weeping I think, here in the USA, you can see them on Animal Planet...although I'm not sure.

Carrie! Gotta say that sledding is very cool too, although I usually watch it in movies, never seen one broadcasted on a channel.

I have a friend in Chicago that does dock diving with her two Rotties. I'd love to have one of mine try that. Lib won't even try. lol
Flyball looks fun. They have equipment now at the club I go to, but it will be awhile before Baloo is old enough. Lib does pretty well at agility. She's won a couple of times...when the BC's stay home. hahaha

Hehe ya not surprised that the BC's rule the agility arena! Dock Diving sounds like a great sport, especially around here where it gets super hot in the summer. I've only been to the lake once and Junior jumped in so I'm thinking he might like it? But with so much fur he's bond not to go far ROFL
