Jake
(owned by Pat
& Max Hall)
came to us in Jan 2005 he is a 6 yr old Tri color B.C. Jake was
doing a lot of herding when we got him. He did sheep, cattle &
ducks. And did very well, earned several silver buckles for his
former owner Bob Jones.
Bob
was a next door neighbor when we lived in the central valley. Bob
became ill and passed away. His children did not want Jake and asked
us if we would take him, and of course we were happy to.
Jake ran his first race in May 2005 with the Ball Haulers and has
been running every since. He absolutely loves the game.
We have since moved
to the most northern part of California, about 5 miles from the
Oregon border. I found the Strike Force team in Redding. And have
been running with them for the last two years.
Jake's U-Fli titles include TF, TF I, II, & III, TFE, TFE I, II, &
III. In NAFA Jake has earned his FD, FDX, FDCh, FDCh-S, FDCh-G,
FM, FMX, & FMCh titles. |

Tipp
was born on New Year's Day 2006. He is owned
and handled by
Jean and Emma Keyes. A
Border Collie mix who was rescued from our local Haven Humane
society, he has earned his FD, FDX, FDCh, FDCh-S, FDCh-G, & FM as
well as Top Flight I, II, III, & TFE titles for U-Fli.
He can’t get enough of flyball and has earned the nickname “houndini”
from his ability to back out of his harness to “join in the fun”
when his handler won’t let him run.
He also competes in dock jumping with a personal best of “21
minus 1” (20’11”) at the Shasta District Fair in 2008. He can't seem
to get enough of water, whether it's a pool, the lake, or dancing
with the water hose. At home he
enjoys herding our cats, watching "Coming Home" and getting his ears
massaged. |

My
name is Honey (officially it’s
Heathers
Honey).
I am a 48lb Golden Retriever. I was one of 7 puppies born on May 4,
2005 in Sacramento California. I came to live with
Tami King in Redding on June 26, 2005. My training was
started early at River Dog Agility & Training Center with Lynn
Murray. I have been a good student and know all the basic stuff, and
am pretty well behaved. I have taken classes in Agility and Dock
Jumping, and would some day like to participate in the prescription
pet program. I am still somewhat new to Fly Ball but I LOVE IT!
My titles include FD, FDX, FDCh, FDCh-S, FDCh-G, & FM for NAFA,
and TF, TF I, II, III, TFE, & TFE I for U-Fli.
In
my spare time I enjoy playing with my friends at River Dog’s day
camp, taking walks with my family, watching Animal Planet and of
course chasing the ball!! I also enjoy going out on the lake in our
family boat to swim and catch some rays. When I am at home I love to
swim in our pool and again chase balls around the pool. At this time
I’m an only child but some day I hope to get a brother or sister to
play with. I’m a spoiled loved dog! |

Stella,
Born on January 8th 2007, is owned & handled by
Laura Foxworthy. Stella’s not your average Jack
Russell Terrorist. While she can be the trademark high energy
dog; she’s also quite content with lying in her mom’s lap, and can
be quite the “sensitive flower”. While her obsession is the
tennis ball & she’s a wicked-fast runner (quite helpful in flyball),
she also enjoys chasing the Frisbee, riding along on the kayak,
hiking, road trips in the RV, car rides with the top down, and a
good game of “tail” chasing with any dogs that will play along.
During the hot months of the year, you might find Stella lounging on
a floatie with her mom in their pool.
Stella has caught on to flyball quite quickly, as she does with just
about anything new introduced to her. Her NAFA titles earned
include FD, FDX, FDCh, FDCh-S, & FDCh-G. She has also achieved
TF, TF I, II, & III in U-Fli. Stella absolutely loves
the flyballz! |

Pearl, born approximately 3-9-08, is owned & handled
by Laura Foxworthy. Pearl
was a special find from Haven Humane, a very intelligent McNab. She
has taken to flyball like a fish to water - she's a natural, and she
LOVES it! Stella & Pearl are complete "BFF" now, except for the
occasional friendly reminder from Stella as to who wears the "Pants"
in the pack... (har har har)
Pearl is a super fast learner, aims to please, and has assimilated
in to the Foxworthy pack quite nicely. Her earned NAFA titles
include FD, FDX, FDCh, FDCh-S, & FDCh-G. In U-Fli she has earned
her TF title. |

Cookie
is owned and loved by
Tom and Carol Hoover.
Cookie was born on July 22, 2007 and is a Border Collie mix. In
December 2007 a very good friend told us about Cookie, a very ball
oriented dog, who was camping at Haven Humane waiting for a new
home. While we were considering adopting her, someone else adopted
her. Her new family returned her a week or two later because she was
too interested in their cat, so we brought her home. Cookie is a
very active dog that gets along well with other dogs. She’s taken to
flyball well, earning her FD & FDX titles in NAFA. She has also
earned her TF, TF I, & II in U-Fli.

Nyla is 3 years old. We got
her from Dreamcatchers Sanctuary in May of 2009. She loves the
ball; we got her so that we could see how she would do with flyball
for Teri. Teri is 11 & they are both learning together. She lover
to snuggle & be by Teri's side as much as possible. Over last
summer Nyla & Teri went to Truckee where they won a 3rd place ribbon
for the singles competition. They ran in Hayward, but quickly
learned that both Teri & Nyla needed more work on recalls. We've
recently gotten a hold of Pat's flyball box & have been working with
the help of our other dog, Pokey, as a distraction.
Nyla &
Teri have been going through obedience training, and this has seemed
to help, however, it's practice for this girl & her dog that will
make it perfect.
We originally thought that Nyla didn't like water, but with a dummy
she absolutely enjoys the water, & was more than happy to retrieve.
Nyla is a wonderful addition to our family. We're hoping that
Teri & Nyla will grow together to help their team do well in
flyball. |

Bindi,
born
February 2008, is owned and handled by Jeanette Anderson.
Jeanette adopted Bindi in April 2010 from Another Chance
Animal Rescue out of Palo Cedro, CA, after falling in love with her
picture in the local paper.
Among her many positive traits, Bindi’s online profile noted that
she was a good candidate for flyball.
Not knowing what flyball was, Jeanette looked into it.
Bindi began her flyball training in the summer
of 2010. Although she is
still new to the sport, she seems to really love it and is catching
on quickly.
Bindi also enjoys playing catch and swimming |

WeeBee
(owned by Pat
& Max Hall) was rescued at the age of six months. She had
been in three households by the time I got her. She was very shy and
afraid of everything. It did not take long to turn her around.
We
started out in Agility, she has done it all. NADAC Agility CH,
USDAA, CPE, and AKC. But she always liked flyball the best. She
doesn’t have to wait for me to catch up! We started flyball with the
Ball Haulers in Modesto, and ran with them until we moved last year.
Now we live almost in Oregon, about five miles from the border.
Since then we found the Strike Force team in Redding and
started running with them.
Since she earned her Onyx last year, she is semi-retired. She is ten
years old now, and only runs with the team when they need her. But
she really gets upset when she has to sit in her crate when the team
is running. |
