Hey ya'll! Murphy here! Gotta tell ya, life is
great as a dog! I know your dogs all feel the same way. A warm place to
sleep, some good food, some great games and interactions with our
owners and the Doc says that everyone who reads this page takes very good care of their pets - that's why there are here!We are talking about 2 more dog sports today. These are two more great ways to play with your dogs. We are going to talk about dogs who fly and dogs who go underground. Talk about opposites!
Disk dogs - or
frisbee dogs - are just that. They are dogs who catch frisbees! These
can be literally any breed of dog. The dogs just need to be able to
catch a frisbee. Dogs are judged on creativity, their catch ratio and a 2
minute routine set to music. Have a dog that likes to jump? a dog that
can catch anything? This may be the sport for you! You can do this on
your own in the park or you can join a club and compete. For more
information on ways to play or compete, visit this website: http://www.discdoggin.com/
Earth dogs is a sport that many people have not heard of. Most of these
canine athletes are terriers or dachshunds. This is one of the sports
where most competitions do require the dog to be of an approved breed
for the sport. In earthdog sports, dogs use their nose and instincts to
detect where rodents are and to follow them through tunnels. This sport
works the dog's nose, body and brain. This is one sport which does not
require a high level of fitness or ability of the owner, yet lets the
dogs happily work. This is exactly the ticket of many terriers! For more
information, visit this website: http://psearthdog.freeservers.com/EarthDog.htm#EligibilityTwo more great ways to spend fun time with your dogs! Unfortunately, dogs my size really can't do earthdogs. Maybe the Doc could get some frisbees for me. I LOVE to jump. OK, honestly, I get in trouble for jumping too much and at inopportune times. Sigh. Sometimes it is hard being the dog!
Well, ya'll have a great week! Go outside and play with those puppies! It will make both of you happy!
