I found Elwood wandering through the streets of Indianapolis, starving and freezing, in January of 1996. By the end of 1996, he was running in his first flyball tournament.

He ran with a team in Indiana up until 1999, when we moved to Maryland. He had 270 points at the time of the move. We joined Capital Punishment, where he thrived as anchor dog, and racked up the points. He earned his ONYX with that team in February 2003, before making the move to Two-Lane Highway.

Elwood does little outside of flyball. He doesn’t care for agility, he won’t use his nose down for tracking, he tried to kill the sheep during herding…so we stick to flyball. It’s what he’s good at.
