Filming for the BBC

For those of you not on Facebook I have stolen the text below from Chris and the pictures from Sassy the search & rescue dog :-)

BBC filming Flyball today for the Wonder of Dogs - I would like to thank everyone in my team, the Rooky Racers, and David Flood and his Fenland Firestorm team for the great job you all did on the set today. All the dogs ran fantastically well and showed off Flyball as a great and fun sport for all types of dogs. The producers and film crew thanked me profusely at the end for such a great display of our dogs. They will feature in quite a few aspects of the programme, not only about Flyball, but also how dogs are built to run. I know all of the dogs went above and beyond what is normally called for, and it shows that no other sport can produce such athletes that can last all day long than Flyball dogs. Every dog that took part deserves a well earned rest and lots of love and hugs. Gary's new demo jumps featured well also.

Special thanks to the 2 box loaders who worked even harder as they were feeding balls into the boxes all day long with very little break. xx

The presenters Kate Humble and Steve Leonard were lovely people and were genuinely amazed at how the dogs ran. Kate's own dogs had a wee go at Flyball also

The programme will air on BBC2 either in mid-August or in September (lets hope not during the Champs!)

We will see what makes the programme and what makes the cutting room floor, but I am sure Flyball will be better known as a result.

Thanks again to the great people and dogs that took part today. Be proud.
