I feel like such a dolt. I went to the NAFA database to see how many
Dobes were registered for flyball (there is another flyball registration
now, but not in my area for the most part). A total of 303 Dobes are
registered with NAFA. Of the top 100, only 2 have raced in my region.
One has a registration # from fiscal year 1993 (October 1 1992-
September 30 1993), and I doubt I ever saw that one because I started in
early 1999.

The other? Ummmmmm - she's my teammate. Yep - right there under my
nose, so close that apparently I couldn't see her! Our team is not very
large at the moment, and I know the dog well, so I have no idea why she
slipped my mind in my previous post to you about Dobes in flyball!
She's currently ranked #39 (points count) for Dobes.

Nifty! It's too bad we don't have that sort of thing around here, it
might be fun to try (well, after Roscoe's behavior and focus improve).

Where do you live? You can e-mail privately if you prefer, but folks
may be able to help you find training opportunities!

We're in a little town south of Chicago... going into the city is not an
acceptable option.

I may look for something when my son and I move and have a dog of our own
(Roscoe is my folks' pup, though I'm the one who takes care of him
lately), depending on how busy our lives are at that point, and what dog
we end up getting.
