Club Captain: LeAnn Sawyer
We currently have
members in Charleston and the Florence, SC areas.
Flyball is the sport of dog relay racing and is exciting for dogs,
handlers, and spectators alike. It’s one of the fastest growing family
dog sports in the world. The Pawmetto Pack in Florence, SC, is always
looking for new members. We are a not-overly-competitive club, and our
aim is for the members to have fun with their dogs. All dogs, big or
small, fast or slow, will have a place on our team(s) and a chance to run in
tournaments if they wish. Flyball builds confidence in dogs and is a
great outlet for excess energy.
What is Flyball?:
Flyball is the sport of relay racing for dogs. Each dog on a
flyball team has to jump 4 hurdles, trigger a specially designed box causing a ball
to be ejected, catch the ball, and return over all four hurdles to the
handler. If the dog faults by missing a jump, not triggering the box, or
failing to carry the ball all the way past the finish line, the dog will have
to rerun at the end of the line, incurring a time penalty for the team.
Four dogs race on a team; teams race against each other for their
standings in a tournament and they race against the clock for points toward
titles.
