Grim starting off with weekend with a jump of 20’4”!

Hadley and Grim had a great weekend at Orvis with Green Mountain DockDogs! Hadley had a personal best in big air of 20’3! He also took home 2nd place EV Cadet, 2nd place Iron Dog Titan and 1st place Speed Retrieve Turbo! I’ve been working so hard with him so it’s really nice to see he’s finally improving in big air!
Grim’s biggest jump of the weekend was a 21’ and he took home 2nd place overall in EV and Speed Retrieve. He also placed 1st overall in Iron Dog!! He had personal bests in EV, Speed Retrieve and Iron Dog this weekend! He was so tired for finals but still managed to pull off a 20 foot jump for 5th place! I couldn’t be more proud of this pup! I can’t believe he’s already going to be 2 years old in a couple days 😭 he grew up too fast! But I’m super proud of the amazing dog he’s growing up to be

The rain held off so we could get some jumps in with The Fly Dogs! It was a bit chilly so Hadley was very happy! He pulled off his biggest jump of the season, placed 3rd in finals, and 2nd overall in catch it!
Grim struggled a lot on this dock and was jumping very short. He got over it in finals and pulled off a nice 19’10” for first place!!
So proud of this puppy’s first season! He’s got a lot of growing up to do still but he has put up some great scores this season!

So proud of Ralphie boy earning 3 invites to this year's DockDogs Worlds

Great weekend at the New York Sportsmens Expo! Ralphie finished 1st place in the Big Air Contender finals and placed 1st in EV Cadet!! This event was a Wildcard qualifier for the 2016 Work Championship so Ralphie will be receiving an invite for Cadet!!! Gabby and Riley made Big Air Amateur finals and placed 6th. So proud of these two pups!!

Merry Christmas from Ralphie and Riley

to Worlds 2014 where Ralphie competed in Iron Dog Warrior, Senior Big Air, and Youth. He made it from 4.10 to 6' in EV with no misses in the first ID qualifier and did it again in the second qualifier for a new personal best! He made Senior finals and placed 4th and he made Youth finals with Boo and placed 4th! This year we were invited for Veteran, but unfortunately we are unable to make the trip this year. Good luck to everyone competing next week! We wish we could be there!! Powered by Earthborn 💪🏽

Ralphie had an awesome weekend! He grabbed 18 feet in fetch-it, he took 1st place in Catch-it with a score of 36.9 (I think), and he took 1st in Master finals with an amazing jump of 23.3!!! Tying his personal best!!!! Ralphie says he is never slowing down!! Oh and Riley did Fetch-it for the first time and she made 4 grabs making it to 14 feet and she also placed 3rd in Junior Handler finals. Thank you to everyone who helped put on this event!

EV and Speed were not that great but he was having a good time. Thanks to Green Mountain for putting on such an awesome event! Riley had to sit this one out due to some lady problems.
