If anyone was wanting to try it now is your chance!
Instead of a fun run we are offering bring a friend today and next week! They will get to play completely free! They of course won’t get a patch but they can see if they are interested for next season free of charge!

First fully outdoor practice of the season!
A little chilly but nice to be outside in the fresh air and bring new challenges for our team ⛅️

HP runs this league and makes up a large part of it, so we’re super excited to see we’ve made big progress and are ranking higher this year!! 🥏
Well, we are ranked #1 in our conference and division! And top 8 in the north division! Got to keep it going!

The 3 really working hard on a new line up that better helps each dog!
We are SO proud of our favorite Missy! She came back from her training break with a FIRE and is showing us everything she can do 👏🏼🖤
Not to be outdone by the other dogs, new to the team Kona showed off by transferring those wall board skills over to the target board!
Great practice today! Really seeing Buffy blossom before our eyes!
After taking a break for a while to work on ball drive at home, our most fav Aspen is back and doing better than ever!
Late to the game (thanks back to school and head cold!), but we finished our second tournament this last weekend!!
The most important: the BIGGEST shoutout to Glacier Shakers Flyball Clubwho not only hosted a great tourney, but true to their fairy godmother status, helped us every step of the way.
We had the opportunity to list our most fav Truman as a 5th dog again and he got many runs in with our crew! Nearly half of the GS team ended up running him alongside our team through the weekend. Tell me what other team would send their captain over to run a dog from their team against their own team in the other lane?! Much love and appreciation 🖤🖤
We had many hiccups still, MANY NF’s (it’s a talent 💁🏻♀️), and lots of learning! A big highlight (in the video attached) was Buffy finally using her big girl brain to really focus and do full runs in a new area! Big hopes and goals for this girl soon.
Luna and Lucy were about as consistent as they get and Ember did better than ever with keeping her ball held until the end! Buck gave us some unexpected Pointer Problems (™️) but we made it work. We will say it every single time: there’s a reason you don’t see many pointers in the sport!
Little Luna broke her best time this tourney, breaking her usual 5.0 times several times with the best being a 4.701! Those little legs really go as fast as she can get them to.
Our team ran a fastest time (ever, out of both tournies) at 21.006 seconds too! A number that I’m sure will steadily improve as our passes continue to improve and our experience grows 👏🏼👏🏼
Truman had truly been a lifesaver for us, both last tournament and this one! 🖤
Ninia dialed back for a bit and did a fantastic job of building up consistent ball drive for this girl and it shows! Finally sticking those pieces together and making steady progress 👌🏼

These two here ran FULL TIME this weekend. They were true rockstars. 🐾 they both earned their FD, FDX, and FDCh. 🎾
Excited to see what the new year brings for our team! #2024
No team is truly complete without a good boxloader and we truly had the best. Thank you Lindsey!! 🖤🖤

Our ridiculously large banner made its first appearance today!
Today went even better than yesterday, much more consistency out of the dogs and everyone was slowly sorta kinda figuring those passes. We still had quite a few NF’s for various reasons (it’s a learning process!!) but every dog did great and had huge improvements through the day.
Hatcher also made his first appearance as 7th dog in the warm up times! It blew away his little brain for sure but it was a big stride for his lanky self!

Have to give the biggest of shout outs to our Captains, Mackenzie and Angel did it!! First debut as a fresh new team!
After consistent hard work and dedication 4 newly titled green dogs which is not an easy feat, although this weekend didn’t go as smoothly as we hoped it went better than we could have imagined thank you for all you guys do💕
Marmots definitely Screamed your praises.
Truly the fairy godmothers of Hatcher Passers! Our biggest supporters 🧚🏼🖤

Buck and Luna showing us what they are made of. 🖤
In Angel’s words “the dream team!” 🐾

We can’t forget to mention that Buckaroo broke his first slat today! What a day 🤣
MANY hiccups as expected, and some unexpected. But we did the thing! 👏🏼
This is one of our better runs where we had started to figure out our lives! We had to pull in our loaner pup from GS once (thank you Jamie and Truman!!) and change our lineup suddenly but it went better than we anticipated!
Lots of figuring out and slower times as we work on our passing (we have less run back area in our practice building), but tomorrow can only be better!
Luna, Lucy, Buck, and Ember all earned their FDX titles today!
Both GSP’s (Ember and Buck) blew us away with their consistency. There is a reason that you don’t see many Pointers in this sport and they worked us hard to get to this point, so we were extra excited!
First tourney for HP Screaming Marmots in the books ✨

We’re so excited! HP Screaming Marmots all weekend long 💥💥
We're looking forward to seeing Alaska's newest club Hatcher Passers Flyball in the lanes this weekend!
We had our last practice before our first tourney this weekend! Very thankful to have such a supportive and patient region who has helped us get tourney ready with our extreme lack of competition experienced dogs/handlers on our team. We definitely have some stuff that has popped up and may push out some no finishes on the first day, but we’re here to learn and gain the experience! 🖤

In the summer we celebrated a few of our dogs getting titles for dock and now we celebrate our Ember and Ninia for placing in group 3 at the dog show today! At their first show, no less!
It’s always so amazing seeing our group of dogs do so well at so many things.
Great job Ninia and Ember! ❤️🎊
A few hiccups here and there, but we feel comfortable and ready enough to enter the up coming tourney!
Lucy, Luna, Thea, and Buck held strong today!
HUGE thanks Alaska Dogs Gone Wild for allowing us to crash today and Glacier Shakers Flyball Club for being there and suggesting this! A fantastic last minute triple club practice.
We appreciate all of you and couldn’t have gotten this far without the support we’ve had 🫶🏼
Big shout out to Ninia for handling both her own dog and Luna while Luna’s normal handler is out! She is a lot of dog in that tiny package and Ninia made it out unscathed!
Her butt could flip her completely over.
