Flyball is a team sport for dogs that was invented in California in the late
1970's. Herbert Wagner first showed it on the Johnny Carson Show to millions of
viewers. Sometimes refered to as "Doggie Drag Racing" Flyball is a relay race
with 4 dogs on a team.
The course consists of a starting line, 4 hurdles spaced
10 feet apart, and a box. The first hurdle is 6 feet from the starting line and
the last hurdle is 15 feet from the box for a total length of 51 feet.
The dog jumps the hurdles and steps on a spring
loaded box that shoots out a tennis ball. The dog catches the tennis ball and runs
back over the 4 hurdles. When the dog crosses over the startline the next dog goes.
The first team to have all 4 dogs run without error wins the heat.
Flyball is open to any dog including mixed breeds.
