Flyball

The sport of Flyball is a fast paced relay race with dogs! There are 2 teams of dogs that race head to head, with 4 dogs per team. They jump over jumps, retrieve a tennis ball, and race back to their owner while the next team races.

Make sure to check out the smoking fast flyball dogs racing all weekend. For more information about the sport, visit United Flyball League International’s facebook or website.
