Holly Lodge

We had a great day over at Holly Lodge at the fantastically run Tails We Win competition.

CANINES 1st in Division 1

Our last outing before Crufts, the team were looking really good and pulling out some super exciting times.

CATAPULTS 1st in Division 3

Minor blip when Wendy had a quick visit to the blood bin. Ellen stepped in to handle Quest on lights, managed to get a roller, and demonstrated just how far Quest has come to take it all in her stride.

CANNONS 1st in Division 5
CROSSBOWS 2nd in Division 5

These two were battling it out all day, with two head to head races, and a little bit of banter.

Plus an amazing PC session for the CADETS and COLTS, who are getting ready for taking on little league with style.

Another great day of racing against a great set of teams. Of course fuelled by great cake and coffee (thanks to Holly Lodge cafe). Big thanks to all involved!!

Next stop Crufts!!!!

Holly Lodge

Super proud of our team yesterday. The dogs and handlers looked slick in the ring, working together to get the best out of everybody. Seeded bottom in some divs and way off the times, consistency and solidarity helped us win those divisions.

Canines went out to practice our crufts lineups but to also put a time up towards the World Cup and managed to run many sub-15 times, ending just 0.04s off our own club record with much more in the tank for a warmer day. Winning div 1 was the icing on the cake!

Catapults saw Wally come back to play after the recent arrival of his new baby brother and he aces it in start, anchor and the pack with his new handler. Big shout out to Anita for handling him so well!

Cannons and Crossbows went out to enjoy their racing, working on different combinations to win their heats.

Another big shoutout to Channing and Bailey who joined Tails We Win to play and looked incredible. That little bounce and tail wag showed how happy he was.

I’m so proud that we can churn out so many good dogs and how we handle ourselves in the ring.

Congratulations to Tristan for gaining his Pilot Officer award (10,000 points) and Lord for earning his Cadet Superior award (5,000 points).

We ended the day by bringing home a present for ourselves in the form of a new box… we are looking forward to seeing what our dogs can do on a faster box.

Selection for Team GB 2024

A few weeks ago we put together an application for our team to represent the UK and The Royal Kennel Club at the Flyball Open World Cup in Germany next year. We are very excited to announce, the along with Aces, Tails We Win, Essex and TimeFlyZ, we were successful. Massive thanks to the KC and the flyball working party for this opportunity.

A dream we had back in 2022 will be realised in 2024. It’s been a solid 18 months to get here but now the hard work really starts in earnest… Looks like 2024 is going to be a busy year for us!
