Keystone DockDogs® Competition
Talk about High Flying Action! Keystone DockDogs® will hold various competitions throughout the weekend. Their organization is devoted to K-9 competitions which support local charitable organizations. The Big Air® competition is the long-jump event of the dog world. With a running start of 40 feet, dogs launch off the dock into the water, often reaching speeds up to 20 mph!

Extreme Vertical® is another test of jumping skills, but this time it’s the high jump where dogs must knock down a “Flappy” which hangs over the water 8 feet from the end of the dock. The current indoor world record is 8’4”. Come watch as some of the area’s top DockDogs attempt to break the record!

Speed Retrieve® is the final test, and as the name suggests, dogs are timed in their retrieval of a “Flappy”. The dogs that set records are surely talented, but let’s see what you’ve got! This competition is open to all breeds of dogs.
