Queso: 6 year old Jack Russell Terrier who does it all. His main sports of choice are flyball and disc, closely followed by dock diving, and our favourite winter sport of skijoring. He has even dabbled in barn hunt. He has earned his Flyball Master (10,000 points) to date in flyball, multiple awards in disc, and has appeared in the feature film A Dogs Purpose. He really is my “do it all” dog.
Nacho: 13 year old pointer cross that got me started in dog sports. He is now retired and living his best life holding down his dog bed, but used to compete heavily in flyball and disc dog in his younger years. Nacho has also appeared in the feature film A Dogs Journey.
