Splash Dogs Super Vertical Record Had Been Broken
On Saturday, August 7th, the crowds at the Sonoma County Fair gathered for the final Super Vertical competition of the "Fly in Memory of Primo" Dock Jumping Event. Little did they know that this was going to be a night to go down in the record books.
With competitors such as Qiana and Amy Peterson, Aries and Ally Kinley and of course Cricket and Ray Crane, it was sure to be an event to remember. Pyro, an 11 1/2 month old Dutch Shepard and his handler Ashley Reitfors took to the dock for the first time of the night at 6 feet, from there the sky was the limit. As they reached the 7 foot height, Pyro and Ashley left everyone behind and continued to climb on their own.
One by one the bumpers were knocked from the apparatus, all on the first round, 7'2" CATCH, 7'4" CATCH, 7'6" CATCH, 7'8" CATCH and 7'10" CATCH. It was amazing, the Splash Dogs Super Vertical record had been broken after being held for two years by Melissa Ness and Stryker at 7'8" of Ramona, Ca.
Splash Dogs extends a huge Congratulations to the new Super Vertical Record Holders Pyro and Ashley Reitfors at 7'10". May you continue to soar through the record books!
