With the big growth of some really fun dog sports, we thought it’s time for us to get involved.

We were approached by the parents of Katie, who needed a sponsor to help her get to the  World Dock-Diving Championships in Arizona.  Seeing the need and the chance for her to win the world championship, we decided to ‘jump-in’ and help them out.

Katie is a golden retriever.  Three years old, she’s still a puppy at heart. Katie started dock jumping in 2007.  She jumps off a 40ft dock into a 40ft pool.  This year she jumped a personal best of 21’ 9” giving her the title of the number one female golden retriever and the second best golden retriever of the year. (Distances are measured from where the base of the tail hits the water). She did so well she qualified for the World Championships of Dock Jumping, Cynosports in Scottsdale Arizona

Katie did great in the semi-finals jumping 20’ 7” qualifying her for the Pro finals. In the final 6 she did great with a 20’ 6” jump landing her in 5^th place. Which for her was spectacular.

Here’s a couple of short video’s of the event:
