The K9s of DogDash
The newest member of the Pownall pack, Quicksilver Two Tickets to Paradise, aka, Cabo debuted at Fur Fun’s Sweet Tea Classic Tournament in April 2022. Cabo is out of the last litter sired by Match and is a Border Collie/Rat Terrier X Border Collie/Border Terrier. His mother, Tuppence, is on the Fur Fun Flyball Team. Cabo is athletic, smart, and easy to live with and train. He currently holds the title of Flyball Master (FM). In addition to Flyball, Cabo is training in agility and is a star student and partner to Teresa.
Contraband is a founding member of DD’s Operation Pointy Dog. Tracy named him for a line in the musical “Hamilton”, and also answers to his middle name “Alexander”. When not doing “the flyball”, chasing discs, or running agility courses, he can be found napping in his favorite sun spot. He debuted at HJJ’s Spring Fling 2022 and currently holds the title of Flyball Master (FM) and MBDCH.
Tracy’s third flyball dog, Elektra debuted at Kinetic’s July 2022 Big Bang tournament. She currently holds the title of FDCH-G.
Quicksilver Unmatched Effervescence, aka Fizz, is an offspring of Match and Fur Fun’s Elphie (Border Rat X Border Jack). Born in March 2018, Fizz lives up to her name by being the bright spot in every day. Fizz is athletic, smart, cute, funny, and has tons of personality. She loves to learn as much as she loves to play. Fizz has excellent PR skills and has been laying the groundwork to be a future sport-mix ambassador. Fizz debuted in flyball in January 2020 and currently holds the title of FMCH. In addition to Flyball, Fizz is training in agility, keeping Teresa on her toes with her agile quick footedness and ground speed.
Hot Sauce (ITS The Spice Of Life) is a variety pack mixy-mix born in July 2018. Everyone loves her, both human and canine. She is Nacho's best friend and has Tracy’s husband wrapped around her tiny paws. She is the perfect combo of sweet cuddlyness and hard-hitting drive to train & play.
She debuted in August 2021 and currently holds the title FMX. Hot Sauce Marie brings a big love of tennis balls to the game and when not playing flyball, she can be found doing agility, chasing discs, or listening to Lizzo tunes.
Levy is the son of ITS Source of Inspiration or “Muse,” a sport mix (border collie, whippet, staffie, mini-aussie, terrier), and son of Smitten (Whippet). He debuted at Go Dogs Fast Flyball Tournament in NC, when was not quite 2 years old, and currently holds a FDCH-G title and a MBD title. He thinks flyball is out of this world. Levy is learning a little agility. However, his favorites of course are flyball, chasing his older bro Watson, and playing disc with the high hope his human counterpart will improve on her disc throwing abilities.
Maddy was born to feral parents under a bridge in Richmond, VA and was about 6 weeks old when Mathias & Amy found her in July 2015. They named her "Madison" after the only bridge-related reference they could think of, the movie Bridges of Madison County. At a little over two years old, she started training for flyball for fun and debuted at Fur Fun’s Rockin’ Eve 2019. She really loves the game and especially tug-time! Her personal best is 4.14 and she currently holds the title of FMCH. When she is not playing flyball, Maddy enjoys participating in dock diving, in which she earned the DS (dock senior) title along with a personal best of 17’ 6,” and competing in Toss and Fetch and UpDog disc sports.
Quicksilver Playing with Fire, aka Match, was part of the first of Quicksilver’s Brat litters (Rat Terrier, Topper X Border Collie, Badabing). Match debuted in 2013 and is athletic, smart, and hard working. While there have been many since, Match was DD’s first dog to run a 4.0. He is the most consistent Flyball dog and has helped train many of the team’s youngsters, including his offspring, Fizz and Cabo. Before Mark left for college, in addition to Flyball, the two of them excelled in Agility. Match prefers doing things as fast as he can, but also has a lovely off-switch. Match is a rule follower at heart, but still loves to have fun, especially with his person, Mark. Match currently holds the titles of FGDCH & MBM.
Minnie is the new addition to the Bergmann pack. Originally from Louisiana, Minnie made her way to Green Dogs Unlimited, from which Mathias & Amy adopted her as a 6-month-old pup in April 2021. Along with learning the ropes of flyball, Minnie enjoys competing in K9 Toss & Fetch and dock diving with her older sis Maddy (Maddy patiently tolerates Minnie copying her with “sporty stuffs”). Minnie debuted at Kinetic’s July 2022 Big Bang tournament and currently holds the FDCH-G title.
Crackhead Smoke Ya! (yes, that is actually his AKC-registered name LOL!), better known as Nacho, was born in Florida and came to join Tracy’s crew as a baby papillon. He has trained/competed/titled in agility, but only kinda sorta liked it. Then he was enlisted to be the experimental dog for the momma learning to train flyball to prepare for the puppy, Hot Sauce, . . . turns out, he has decided that flyball is his life's work and has gone from not ever picking up a ball to FDX in fewer than 5 months. Utterly insane! He is looking forward to more flyball and is incredibly thankful to his friends on DogDash for showing him what he needed to know for his debut in April 2019. Nacho currently holds the title of OYNX and MBDCH-S.
Robie debuted at HJJ’s Turkey Trot 2022 and currently holds the title of FDCH.
