family-oriented dog sport that has become a hit on Animal Planet and ESPN's

box, which shoots out a tennis ball. The dog catches the ball and runs
back over the 4 hurdles. When the dog crosses the starting line the next
dog goes. The first team to have all 4 dogs run without errors wins the
heat. Sat. 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. and Sunday 8 a.m. - 2 p.m. Spectators and leashed
dogs are welcome to come and watch. Free admission. www.doggonefast.com |
