hello and welcome from me too.

I have one like that, tennis ball obsessed and great with a retrieve. My neighbours over the road travel all over the country with their labradoodles to do flyball and have long encouraged me to try my spaniels at it. I recently took Griffon along to watch a session and Ive decided against it. As Claire points out the type of environment there is very loud and sort of ‘in your face’ and its just totally the wrong sort of situation for Griffon plus hes got an old injury to a front paw that I worry might cause him a problem if he over stresses it
