LIRR is the
brainchild of Valerie, Jessica and Amy Stier, our wonderful instructors for the
team. LIRR just celebrated our second year in Flyball competition, in June
of 2008. The folks on our team enjoy the camaraderie of the competitions,
working together with the dogs and the people. Of course, doing well, is
not a bad thing either, but even when we don't do well, we want to come home
with a feeling that we had a good time.
We train weekly
at
Doggie U,
a great indoor facility in Bay Shore NY, Thursday nights at Doggie U. Valerie,
Jessica and Amy conduct a beginner Flyball class at 7pm. Then we have team
practice and an advanced Flyball class also taught by Valerie and Jessica at
8pm. For more information on the classes and directions to the facility,

Congratulations to everyone on the dream team.
The LIRR team that ran on this weekend did a great
job. Kane, Cassie, Zoe and Mysti, ran their hearts out. Everyone was
awesome.....
The team came in first place in our division. Cassie
had a personal best,
she ran under 5.0 seconds four times this
weekend. Three 4.9 runs and one 4.7
 
Kane
the Kelpie was chosen to be one of the Dream Team members at the Coconut Classic Tournament on June 23 &
24, 2007. The selection committee looks at dogs and people they think
are doing a good job at the Tournament, having fun with their dogs, dogs
that are fast, enthusiastic and who the selectors would like to have on
their own teams and then
they watch the dogs and people all weekend. At the end of the weekend
they announce their picks for the Dream Team, which consists of a Team
Captain, Box Loader, 2 height dogs and 4 big dogs. It is a great
thrill for me to have Kane among those chosen to get this award. Thank
you Release the Hounds and Fur Fun who put on this wonderful
Tournament.
