The Teams
The Fast'n'FURious Flyball club currently has over 30 dogs
actively competing, and more enrolled in our training program.
We run in tournaments all over Atlantic Canada, or Region 10 in
the North American Flyball Association (NAFA).
Aiwave (Portia, Bernie, Mike, Shane,
Static, Diana, Emily, Dharma, Rachel, Indy, & Lewis) pose
for a picture after setting a new Region 10 speed record of
17.48 seconds at our home tournament in November, 2003.
Airwave has since broken their own record, running 16.64 seconds
at our home tournament, The Dogfathers
of Confederation, on July 1st 2006.
Our club is not strictly divided into individual
teams...depending on how many and which dogs and owners are attending
any given tournament, the dogs may be grouped differently.
We like this flexibility...it keeps things interesting, and allows
us to switch dogs from team to team depending on circumstances.
Generally, we try to group dogs of similar speeds together to give
each team consistency, and there are dogs we usually run together,
but this isn't set in stone...and sometimes, we just don't have
enough club members attending a tournament, so we do the best we
can with what we have!
Having said that, we are usually able to put together between four
and six separate teams for most tournaments.
