We're a group of dog lovers who have joined together to promote the sport of DockDogs.  We jump with Labradors, Irish Water Spaniels, Great Danes, Border Collies, Chesapeake Bay Retrievers and just about any other dog you can think of that loves water.  We have been a very active affiliate club of DockDogs since 2006, holding four events in Pennsylvania in 2007 and planning more for 2008.  We have approximately 45 different teams competing at multiple DockDogs events in both Big Air and Extreme Vertical. What is Big Air...? Big Air is the long jump equivalent for canine athletes.  At speeds over 20 mph, these dogs catapult themselves off the end of a 40 foot dock into a body of water to retrieve their favorite toy.  Jump distance is measured from the end of the dock to where the base of the dog's tail breaks the water.  The current world record is 28' 10". What is Extreme Veritcal...? Extreme Vertical is a high jump contest in which man's best friend launches upward, up to nearly eight feet in the air, to quench his instinctual desire to play fetch in its extremist form.  Rather than clearning a cross bar like in track and field, the dogs must knock down or grab a bumper which is suspended over the water and positioned 8 feet out from the end of the dock.  The current world record is 7' 10".
