Flyball is a dog sport in which two teams of four dogs race side-by-side on a 51-foot long course. Flyball dogs run as a relay team where they jump over four jumps, hit a flyball box to release a ball, and return over the four jumps carrying the ball. When a dog crosses the finish line, the next dog is released until all four dogs on the team have completed the course.
The first team of four dogs to complete the course without errors wins. An error would be missing a jump, forgetting to take the ball from the flyball box, dropping the ball, or running off course.
Surf City Flyball is the name of the team we saw practicing in Fountain Valley. The dogs on the team are in excellent shape. They have a couple of senior dogs. Reo is a fast and reliable 10-year-old golden retriever. Roxy is the dog flying in the picture. She is also 10 years old. Roxy is part boxer and part Labrador retriever.
