Flyball

Flyball Mol

Mollie’s real forte is flyball. She would flyball all day every day, and everyone who has ever met her will attest to her complete and single-minded devotion to tennis balls. She competed in her first BFA Flyball competition at Selby in 2005. She got her 200 points at her second competition and is currently working towards her Flyball Dog Silver award. Mollie will run in any position, although she particularly loves running as lead dog, and she will throw in a few more runs for each race if she thinks she can get away with it. She has also proved herself to have an amazing memory as she knows exactly which dogs on the team (and sometimes on other teams!) are prone to drop their balls on the line.

Mollie was part of the team who won Division 8 at the BFA Summer Championships in 2007. We missed the 2008 Championships due to Kennel Cough, but came back to win Divison 24 at the British Flyball Championships 2009, where Mollie clocked 4.8s over 11″ with the world’s worst box turn. She shows no signs of slowing down yet, and although we try to limit her to running over a maximum of 12″ hurdles, she won’t be retiring any time soon.

She is trained in Crufts flyball but due to injury never got the chance to compete.
