Skyhoundz Local - Torrance, CA

Wow, lots of competitors! Was scheduled for three rounds of competition, but with 71 teams we could only get through two rounds before it was 5PM. Unfortunately the round that got cut was Bailey and my favorite event, Speed Disk. But even without the Speed Disc round, my lil boy Bailey still managed to grab 2nd Place! A very respectable finish behind the always very good and consistent team of Al and his Rat Terrier George. And with some of the best teams in So. Cal out there as well, Benny Wong & KD, Sung & Clutch, Alan & Jasper, and a host of others, I'm very proud of my White Thunder.

2nd Place - Open (Freestyle & Circle Disc)

Wags for Wishes USDDN - Del Mar, CA

This is one of the big events of the year in California. In cooperation with the Make-A-Wish foundation the USDDN holds it's Western Regional competition to determine which Disc Dogs teams from the West will be invited to the World Championships in November held in Kentucky. The top 5 teams garner an invitation.

This event is 3 full days of Disc action (along with every other Dog sporting event under the sun).

On Saturday the USDDN held the Super Open Freestyle division to determine the top 5 teams that will get an invitation to Kentucky.

Bailey and I had probably one of our best weekends of disc dogging to date! We finished 3rd amongst some of the best disc doggers in California and even some from nearby states.

On Sunday the USDDN help the Super Toss & Fetch division to determine the top 5 teams to be invited to Kentucky in Toss and Fetch only. We we able to pull out a 2nd place there! But we are allowed only to accept one invitation.

So...

FDDO - Scottsdale, AZ

Well we along with the AWI/UFO Finals was the FDDO (Flying Disc Dog Open) competition going on at the same time. So Bailey and I jumped and danced our way to an exciting 6th place finish out of 32 competitors.

6th Place - Pro Division

UFO Major - Scottsdale, AZ

Well this is the big LAST CHANCE qualifying event for those not invited to the big shows of the UFO Finals and Ashley Whippet Invitational (Combined into the same competition) in Scottsdale Arizona. This event is held on Friday, and if you qualify by obtaining enough UFO points you get to participate over the weekend.

Well, we go out and put up our best freestyle round ever at 32.9 points only to follow it up with one of our worst Toss & Catch rounds of 9 points.

We ended up in 18th Place for the day (not so bad when you think that these are competitors from all around the country) and we end up a point or two short of qualifying for the event. Disappointing, but this event has SOOO much going on that Bailey and I had a blast anyway.

So...

18th Place - Open

UFO Major - Lancaster, CA

Every once in a while you just have a real bad day overall. But we still had a blast. Also, to get Bailey off the hook a little bit, I was recovering from a ruptured Calf muscle injured while playing a little basketball.

Skyhoundz Local - Torrance, CA

2nd - Open Division

Included Freestyle, Circle Disc, and Speed Disc.

We got the highest Circle Disc score with a 22! I believe the highest reasonably possible is around 24 points, so not too shabby by my boy.

Bailey loves the circle competition. Brief description, we stand in the middle of a
17 yd diameter circle, and your dog has to catch the disc outside of the circle and in the air for the highest score as many times as possible in 60 seconds.

And we won a beer from Joseph Jones in a heads up second round toss and fetch wager.
