0 responses 0 comments The Sonoma County Fair "Splash Dog Challenge" was a success for local flying puppy, "Prince Andy." On Friday, Andy qualified for the "Open" Division by finishing 2nd in the Junior class with a jump of 14-feet, 7-inches. On Saturday, 6-month-old Andy jumped 15-feet, 3-inches to qualify for the "Open" Division Finals on Sunday against the best adult dogs in Northern California. Only the top 20 dogs qualify for the "Open Finals".
The event director and splash dog founder, Tony Reed, commented to the people watching that he "had never seen such a young puppy that loved jumping and had no fear of the water like Andy".
Although Andy is not jumping as far as the adult dogs in the "Open" class yet, he loves the challenge. When he sees the dock, the other dogs and the people cheering, he wants to show off, he wants to jump! He knows when it's show time.
On Sunday Andy seemed to know he was on center stage and he was sky high for the event, we couldn't get him to calm down, but he still finished in 10th Place overall with a jump of 14-feet, 4-inches against some of the biggest jumpers in Northern California and Nevada.
Next up is the "Super Retriever Series" in Reno, NV August 8 - 12, 2007.
Prince Andy on his "open" jump of 14-feet, 7-inches to finish 10th over all.
