Bart |

He is speeding up all the time and loves his Flyball. He like Ruby has little tennis balls because normal sized ones are too big. He is owned and handled by Joanna who fancied a change from Collies. He loves chasing other dogs and wears a tag on his harness telling everyone whose team he is from in case he gets lost! |

Blizzard |
|
Blizzard is a White GSD who adores his flyball and usually the other team's too!! He is owned and handled by Debbie although she doesn't always admit to this! Blizzard is the clown of the team and we have worked very hard to persuade him that our balls and flyball box is better than anyone else's. He was born in 2003 and has just had a year out of flyball due to the terrible two's! He is a very sweet natured boy who keeps the rest of the club dogs in check. |
