INU Posted September 21, 2003 Report Share Posted September 21, 2003 Oh my god... is this dog really jumping on his own? or did he use some sort of jumping equipment? :eek: http://www.dogpatch.org/images/frisbee/frisbee6.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codypup Posted September 21, 2003 Report Share Posted September 21, 2003 It is more likely that the dog vaulted off his person. In free-style frisbee contests you will see a lot of vaulting off the owner/trainer. I hear there is a lot of controversy over it now as there can be serious sport injuries to the dog. I used to compete my old dog but we never vaulted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INU Posted September 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2003 True...and that was the next question I was going to ask... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
border_collie_crazy Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 yes, candian disc dog does not allow the vaults, its more about the welfare of the dog, and vaulting causes injurys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca, Irena Farm Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 I had a bitch that could jump that high on her own. I hated it but she just got so excited by the frisbee. It's called "Skying". She still plays Frisbee with her current owners (handlers for a public park) and I just know she's going to end up retiring with early onset arthritis. Her hips are perfect, though, so at least I don't have that worry. She can literally get over my husband's head (6 feet) for a tossed Frisbee. I have a picture somewhere but my scanner's broken.
