Argus was born on May 26, 1997 - the biggest in the litter of 11 Chesapeake Bay Retrievers.  His name comes from a mythological being with many eyes, some of which were always open - known as a zealous watchman.  His name fits him perfectly.  We found our first DockDogs event in March 2006 at Pawsabilities in Harrisburg and Team Argus was hooked.  Even at 10 years old, his speed on the dock has been clocked multiple times at 25 mph.  In 2007, he earned both his Regional and National Junior Titles.  In 2006, Argus was certified as a Pet Therapy Dog and visits nursing home resident three times a month as well as participating in library reading programs for children with reading problems.

NEW ARRIVAL
Coleman is a Chesapeake Bay Retriever born October 24, 2007 in Oswego, NY.  We hope he will become a DockDog in 2008, probably beginning with Puppy Palooza in May.  He has retrieved his Dead Fowl Trainer while swimming at the Canine Spa at eleven weeks of age so we can only hope he will follow his brother's love for the sport.

CHEERLEADER
Memphis is an approximately 9 1/2 old mixed breed who was rescued from the streets of Baltimore MD when he was 3-4 months old.  Although he doesn't jump, he attends all DockDogs events to encourage his brother.
