  • FBR 94 Nov-Dec.Pdf
    THE FROM THE EDITOR............................ Well! The summer season is over (altogether now FLYBALL aaaaaagh!) the last outside event being Longleat, magnificent venue - shame about the weather, it was RECORD only marginally better than the previous year but on occasions we did see the sun and at least the rain was November - December 1994 warm. Apologies to those who were kept hanging about, I realise for those of you who had only come for the flyball it was quite a protracted day, but I am sure you will understand it wasn't any easier for those organising the event. It becomes a bit of a pain to have to move the racing lanes and continually cover up the electronics and retest them prior to restarting FULL REPORT INSIDE again, but on the plus side, it was nice rubbing up to The BFA would like to thank all the sponsors of some of you between the showers in the intimacy of that Flyball in 1994 for their support & generosity: tent. It almost became a statistic for the guinness book of records. As for the racing - it was as good as ever. Understandably no records broken but given the conditions, some fast times, the Wasps turning in the fastest time of the day with an 18.49 run, in one of the heats. I would like to take the opportunity on behalf of all flyballers, to thank all those who have put on shows throughout the year, and your helpers. I do realise its not easy and on occasions you can well do without some of the hassle that accompanies these events, without you, there would be no sport, much less an association.

This award thus has a requirement for a minimum of 2 points per activity in at least 4 Categories.

Where there is more than one activity per category, points may be claimed for each activity. Level: Title or performance level (each line in the table represents a level).

  • Fun Activities with Dogs
    Petcare Hints Fun activities with dogs There is no better way to start the day than to get out of bed early and take the dog for a walk before breakfast. A walk around the neighbourhood, for those who live in suburbia, is pleasant early in the morning when few people are up and about and can leave you with an invigorated feeling that lasts throughout the day. An evening walk is a great way to unwind and at the end of a hot day is a great way to cool down. All neighbourhoods have parks which are not only a great place to take the dog but can be your destination for the walk and, once there, dog and owner can sit quietly and relax. For those not inclined to walk everyday, playing a game with your dog in the backyard is certainly a good way to help your canine friend get his exercise. Most dogs like to chase a ball and even inactive owners can exercise their dog this way. Besides these common ways to exercise your dog there are many activities for dogs and owners which provide an opportunity for dogs to express their natural instincts or to just have fun. Flyball is a sport for fit and athletic dogs, no matter what their breed or type. It is a sport involving all the things which dogs love to do: running, jumping, retrieving and pleasing their owners. Flyball is a team sport with each team consisting of four dogs and five people (one person per dog and an extra person to load balls into the flyball box!) Dogs race side- by-side over four hurdles, trigger the flyball box releasing a ball, catch the ball and run back over the hurdles.

  • Space Requirements for Dogs Housed in Sled Dog Kennels
    Revision 4.1 - Adopted 15 June, 2020. 1 Introduction to the 4th Revision The Mush with P.R.I.D.E. Sled Dog Care Guidelines represent a standard of care that is consistent with the 5 Provisions of Animal Welfare paradigm, prevents unnecessary harm and promotes the welfare of the dogs to which they apply. Our recommendations have a general level of acceptance among knowledgeable practitioners and experts in the field. Strong preference is given to peer-reviewed scientific literature. Where scientific evidence is lacking we recommend practices that have robust experiential foundations, are based on logic and reason and are practical in the multiple-dog setting of a sled dog kennel. Since it's foundation in 1991 the role of Mush with P.R.I.D.E. has been defined by our name - to Provide Responsible Information on a Dog's Environment. Experience has shown that the Mush with P.R.I.D.E. Sled Dog Care Guidelines must be updated regularly to keep pace with advances in science and communications as well as the ever-changing social perceptions of the many dog-powered activities that enhance not just our own lives, but the lives of our dogs as well. The current Mush with P.R.I.D.E. Board of Directors strongly feel that it is our job to research and provide responsible information and evidence based recommendations that give mushers and kennel operators a range of options from which to choose. It is the job of the musher or kennel operator to use this information to prevent unnecessary harm and promote the welfare of your own dogs.
