Finn is multi-talented. At just a few days past 2 years, he has earned both Fly Ball and Agility titles. FlyBall is a sport where a team of 4 dogs runs a relay race, jumping 4 hurdles, hitting a box that releases a tennis ball, catching the ball in their mouth and racing back over the hurdles. The team races against the clock as well as against another team of dogs.
Finn competed in 2 classes, Novice Standard a performance event where the dog, directed by his human partner, must complete a course consisting of jumps, an A-frame, tunnels, weave polls, etc…, running against the clock and Novice Jumpers with Weaves. Novice Jumpers with Weaves is a course consisting of only jumps, tunnels and weave polls. The dog must qualify 3 times in each event to earn a title.
NA stands for Novice Agility.
NAJ stands for Novice Agility Jumpers.
FDCH-S is a Fly Ball title, Fly Ball Dog Champion Silver.
