Link's racing history


Link

Link came to us as an adult "project" dog around August 2005.  We had so much success with his sister, Temper, that when we heard Link was available, we jumped on the opportunity.  Link didn't show much potential at first, running 4.1s and 4.2s at 21 months of age, but he made steady improvements, until now it can be said that he is an outstanding flyball dog.  His box turn is beautiful, and he gives 100% in every heat.  

In the summer of 2007, Link earned a spot on our fastest team, Stealth.  He ran on our Standard 1 team in the 2007 U-FLI Championships, averaging 3.82 seconds at that tournament.   Link was on the first HyperFlight team to break 15.80 seconds, the first to break 15.70 & 15.60 (they ran 15.52 in May 2008), and the first to break 15.50 (they ran 15.42 in June 2008).

When not playing flyball, Link enjoys playing with people.  He seems to have no interest in other dogs; he's all about hangin' out with the humans.  Link's parents are
Dart and Quiver (Quiver is from Bo-Tyne Kennels).  He is the full brother of Chex, Psyche, and Temper.
