Jovi, Border Collie, CRN 990255
Jovi was on heavens doorstep when she started a new life with Carl and Gwen Dingee in the summer of 1998.
Jovi was enrolled in a FAME flyball class and didn’t show any interest in the game at first but once she got onto
the racing lanes in the spring of 1999, Carl and Gwen knew that they had found what Jovi was born to do. Jovi
had to be taught to hold a ball in her mouth but no one had to teach her to race. Her ability to run and race is
instinctive and she can really make a difference in a race that is close. She has always run anchor because she
can always be counted on to pick up the pace when her team needs to win a heat and has been known to shave
0.3 seconds off her average time when she is behind and wants to win. She achieved her FM title in her first
year of racing and, over the last 5 years, has racked up close to 19,000 points. She is among the top 5 dogs
lifetime in region 10 and she anchored the team that set the FAME club record that still stands today.
