Dave, Border Collie, CRN 981141
Dave has been with the Overdogs since he was a pup, before our first tourney in January, 1999.
He was our first “homegrown” ONYX, having earned his 20,000th point on May 15, 2004. His love
for the sport of flyball is the stuff of legend. Many a novice boxloader has been startled by the
maniacal glitter in his eyes and his speed down to the box. He always runs to win, determined to
cross the finish line before his opponent. Even an injury and subsequent surgery left his
enthusiasm—and speed–undimmed; he just changed his box turn to compensate.
With his abilities, Dave would be an asset to any team, but he has stuck with this one through
both good times and bad. He is the backbone of the team. He has raced in all but one or two of
the tournaments the Overdogs have attended over the years, often running on both a regular and
multi team over the course of a weekend. His speed and stamina have enabled his canine
teammates, some of whom are far less blessed with speed than he, to play the game, earn points
and titles, and have a great time at tournaments.
