Close to 200 dogs competed from Thursday to Sunday at Dockdogs, which is a track and field-like event for dogs.
Dockdogs is the international governing body that oversees events that test a dog’s ability to jump as far as possible into a pool, retrieve items from the pool in a timed event and jump as high as possible. There are three divisions: amateur, semi-professional and professional. Contestants are grouped based on experience and past results. All breeds are welcome. The only stipulation is that the dog must be at least 6 months old.
The most common breeds come from the sporting group. The dog breeds include
- Chesapeake Bay Retriever
- Labrador Retriever
- Flat Coated Retriever
