Ziva - Yolandé Johnson
Box loader - Martinus Nel
All round helper - Matthew Sichelschmidt
Today was incredibly windy🌪, and definitely challenged the dogs and handlers💪. But it was still a lot of fun🤩! Thank you to judge Bobby Boyd📋. The teams definitely challenged him over these two days with typical flyball chaos🥎🐕🥎. He patiently continued judging and supported the teams throughout📣.
A special thanks to Mariska💙 and Flynn🥎 for joining our team this weekend. While only four dogs run at any time, usually a team consists of up to six dogs, allowing for dogs to be alternated and getting some rest🧘. Having them join the team definitely helped ease some of the responsibility on all the dogs in the team, making it easier for the dogs to perform optimally🏋 over these two days✨️.
Thank you as well to FBI Flyball Team SA 2024 Flying Forward 💚 and Locomotion 🖤 flyball teams. These two days were filled with lots of chaos, laughs and most importantly, amazing sportsmanship🫂. All teams helped and cheared for everyone👏. It was absolutely incredible! This weekend 5 teams, from 3 clubs, from 2 provinces gathered in another province🗺 to do what we all love to do with our dogs💚🖤💙.
