2007 Chesapeake DockDogs Suffolk Outdoor Expo
Suffolk VA
Suffolk VA - What another great and exciting event despite all the work. Thank you again to all the club members who volunteered and all the competitors who went the extra mile sticking around Sunday night to help tear down the dock. Without help from everyone, we could not continue to have more Regional Events. THANK YOU!
A big congrats to the Lil' Yellow Lab Daisy Lou for making her first official DockDogs EV grab and becoming an EV Cadet. Daisy Lou made a solid grab at 5' to the cheers of everyone who knew how many times she missed it by a whisker. Gerald Setty & Reed, only 11 months old, came out of no where to give the veterans, Thunder and Bella, a battle for 1st Place. All three dogs grabbed 6' 4" then missed 6' 6". The height was dropped down to 6' 5" where Thunder and Bella both grabbed but Reed was just wore out from jumping every two inches from 5', grabbing the bumper every time on her first try - impressive! The height was raise to 6' 7" where Thunder and Bella both missed then dropped down to 6' 6". Thunder grabbed 6' 6" but Bella missed. Thunder won 1st Place EV!!
Tracy brought her mom, Sharon Williams, to the event to cheer and have some fun with the dogs. Sharon brought out the best in Tanner and made it into the Junior Finals where they finished 4th. We also had a brand new Junior Handler compete - Zachary Ward & Jake. Their best jump for the weekend is 16' 7".
We had quite a few club members make it into the finals at this event:

Brandy Fowler judged this weekend and was unable to jump Buddy. Several people volunteered to jump him and we ended up with a little side competition - Jumping the Big, Yellow Lab, Buddy. The results are:
1st Place - Brian Rutledge - 17' 10"
2nd Place - Tim Kline - 17' 8"
3rd Place - Carly Keane - 15' 6"
4th Place - Sharon Rodgers 15' 2"
Perhaps the best part of the event was the BBQ at the hotel Saturday night. Dave Nash slaved over the BBQ for several hours producing some of the best chicken ever tasted. We had several salads, desserts, and the Ho Ho Cake made an appearance only to be kidnapped by Dave & Cathie. It ended early, but a great time was had by all. Congratulations to everyone who competed and we hope to see you all at the next event. For more information click Club Stats or Complete Event Results.
