Fletch is a 12-year-old mix breed dog that we sometimes refer to as a Magnum Jack Russell Terrier.  (Yes, he was born with a short tail!) His breed origins are a mystery but there is likely some hound and some spaniel and… who knows. Fletch refuses to retire and insists on giving the new dogs a break when they get tired.

He started racing in 1995 with Maria Klymchuk (Colonna) & K9 Thunder (click on remembrance above), and although he is not a "speed demon", he is probably the most reliable member of the team.  He knows his job...go up get the ball and come back over all the jumps...and he does it no matter what distractions there happen to be (even a small terrier attached to his posterior!) He has “trained” almost every new handler on our team.
