Last Saturday, at the Flyball competition at Ballarat, our Flyball team set a new club record. It was the first time a club team has run under 20 seconds since starting to compete back in the nineties. The time was 19.511 seconds with the team being Max, the border collie with Rhiannon, Griffon, the border terrier with Julie, Jessie the gold and white border collie with Drew and Paris, the malinois, with Max (the person). It is only the second time that Jessie has run, she is just 15 months old and is a very fast, enthusiastic little dog. The box loader for the record run was Joy. The team looks forward to more very fast runs as they get more experience running as a team with Jessie.
