For everyone who owns or loves Pembroke Welsh Corgis
Fly-ball
Do you like wild exciting, barking, chasing dog events? If so, Flyball is for you! It is a team sport with 4 dogs. The dogs race down a course consisting of an official starting line, 4 hurdles and a flyball box. Each dog races down the course and steps on a spring loaded box that shoots out a tennis ball. Once the dog has the tennis ball, he then turns and races back down the course, across the hurdles and over the finish line. The team having all 4 dogs run without errors wins the heat. Generally there are heats so the dogs get to run several times.
You ask, where does a Corgi come into this? Well, the height of the hurdles is dependent on the height of the dogs on the team. So, most teams want a small dog to have the lowest hurdles (8 inches is the minimum). Corgis love to race across the hurdles, barking wildly and ‘catch’ the flyball. So if you have a tennis ball loving Corgi, this might be the sport for you!
