Correction on the measurement point, Purina measures to the furthest point of the dog when the chest enters the water. This is great for those dogs that stretch those front legs out. Needless to say even taking 3-4 feet off of that score for the dog's body and you've got a really incredible jump, a nice 27 footer.
It is pretty difficult to claim an overall record for the sport. I don't think any of the dock diving organizations measure to the same point or in the same manner. How can you compare apples to oranges? Just saying???
