Patton's first Skyhoundz event

He's becoming quite the disc dog, you know? We entered an event in New Castle, Indiana on Saturday/Sunday with my Fiancé and Jinks, and I am pretty proud of my (not so little) guy! My throwing was about the worst it's ever been and I was extremely embarrassed, especially compared to the 20+ pros that attended, but it was a great learning experience for me, and Patton came away with First place in novice "Spot Landing" with a whopping 11 points, so I wanted to share his accomplishment. For having no "real" plans with this puppy, he's turning out pretty awesome! Winning Dock Diving and Disc and he's not even 9 months old yet. I can't wait to get him on the Schutzhund field.

New Castle is one of my absolute favorite comps of the year, I'm so sad I wasn't able to attend this year. Very happy for you and Patton though!! You guys are going to be awesome.

That is a really awesome accomplishment. Congrats!

I didn't realize it was going to be such a large/pro-heavy event. It was great getting to see some of those players! I really liked Tracy's dogs, and Andrew Hahn is always fun to watch.

Thanks to you both! We might be awesome if I can continue to improve my throwing... XD
