Rook
(The Gentle Giant, aka Meathead)
 Breed: Doberman Pinscher
  Owner: Chris & Eileen Higginbotham
  Handler: Chris
  Flyball Titles: FD, FDX, FDCh
Rook is a great big, goofy Doberman.  He was adopted by us when he was six years old, and we decided to try teaching him flyball, just for fun. 

Guess what?  You really CAN teach an old dog new tricks!

He loved flyball so much, we figured we'd let him play in tournaments, despite his large size and older age.  

Being so big, he intimidates those who don't know him...he really is a gentle giant.  He barks to get your attention...and that bark does get people's attention...but he's not looking to take an arm, he just wants his chin scratched!  What we have here is a 100 pound lap dog...and he'll happily curl up and snooze with anyone who will have him.

Rook may be approaching his senior years, but he's still a puppy at heart!
