Ready Set Riot KC Flyball Club

It’s a birthday extravaganza around here! Happy birthday to:
Zapp, who turns 2 today!
Artie, who turns 5 tomorrow!
Scorch, who turned 1 on Friday!

We hope all three got to party it up!

Let’s all take a moment of silence for our social media manager, who was tired after three weekends in a row of dog sports and apparently forgot her job this week 😔🙏 she says she’s super sorry to keep you waiting and won’t let you down again 😉

💫Now- back to your regularly scheduled recap from our weekend at the Iowa Heartland Summer Toss!!! 💫

Our whole team was on fire this weekend 🔥🔥🔥 As a team that took last year off to train/re-train and started the year with more than half our team as green dogs, we are starting to put the pieces together and it is INCREDIBLE!! We’re really hitting our stride and are all so proud of the team and our dogs!

big, Big, BIG News!
🌟 Everyone’s favorite Disney dog, Niko, debuted in Pairs on Saturday and RAN FOUR RACES WITH THE TEAM ON SUNDAY! He did AMAZING and as if that wasn’t enough, he ran 100% clean! On top of ALL OF THAT- he set a new PB of 4.40! What a legend!!
🌟 Speaking of legends- our girls Banshee and Addie also set some absolutely unbelievable new PBs! 4.1 and 4.91 respectively!! Killer queens 🔪👑
🌟 While we’re on PBs, how about a new team PB for Rampage of 18.421!!! I know we had a few 23.xs in our first few races of the year- when I say we’re hitting our stride, I mean it 🤯🤯

Some other amazingggg brags:
🪄🦄 Magic did some grown up dog stuff and rocked some full runs head to head with Nimbus! She is FAST y’all! Her debut is so close we can smell it!
😈🍸Malintov Cocktail (Ridge and Knack) came back to keep perfecting their pairs duo, setting their own new PB of 8.2x! They were also the second fastest pairs team on Saturday!
⚡️⚡️ Baby Zapp had some of the nicest wall board sessions we’ve seen in a hot minute! She did so well that she was able to move to the box at practice yesterday- watch out for the coolest German Shepherd you know to be running soon!
🏛️🏛️ Artemis came to partemis! She kept her head on straight with no chasing at all!! She even made some amazing choices when she came off a little wide- we’re so proud of her! Shoutout to her buddies Banshee and Orbit for being steady partners to race against 😇
💦🐠 Many of our dogs came into this weekend after back to back weekends of dock competitions and still gave it their all with very clean runs! The work ethic of every dog in this team is just 🤯🤯

We are sooooooooo proud of these incredible dogs and their people! Now for a few weeks off to recover until our first NAFA of the year in a few weeks! See you again soon, Iowa!!

Introducing our newest teammate- Riot!!

Riot is a fun sporty mix who Travis adopted (read: created) two weekends ago at Margarita Mania! She is an award winning pooch thanks to the Shenanigans Unleashed Flyball Team’s virtual used vet wrap contest! We had her measured and she sets 10” jumps, so she won’t be much of a height dog but we’re excited about her enthusiasm for her ball carry!

Welcome to the team, Riot!
