Sprocket was the 3rd dog in Saskatoon to earn an ONYX title

Sprocket was born in Wynyard, Saskatchewan, but he currently resides in Saskatoon with Ken and Nancy Bird, as well as Klea, Freeway and Sonic. Sprocket is a people dog and his hobbies include flyball, chewing up any paper, and truck rides with his dad. When Sprocket first started flyball, his owners thought there was no hope for him, but has come a long long way and is now an excellent flyball dog!

Sprocket was a little trouble maker to start. He probably developed every problem in the book, from dropping his ball, to running down the opposite lane but with time, determination and patience Sprocket came to be an increadible height dog. Sprocket was usually a bit of a clown at practice but always had is game face on when it came to the "real thing" at a tournament. Sprocket absolutely loved the competition and never let his team mates down. He would run for anyone who could dared to hold him! His "racing grin" was his trademark. Sprocket raced in both regular and multibreed divisions and at the end of the day was ready to race again! At one tournament Sprocket posted over 1700 points. Sprocket was certainly a little dog with a big heart and helped his team mates and club reach some big milestones. Unfortunately Sprocket was retired from racing in Sept 2004 because of a back injury. Sprocket loved the game and loved his fans and will be sorely missed.

Sprocket's ONYX award is dedicated to Nancy's mom who passed away shortly before he achieved that goal. She was his biggest fan!
