Belgian Flyball Federation Rankings

Mark Dewilde reports:
In 1989 the very first demonstration was held the following years a demo tournament was held, even with some international teams like Holland, Germany and France.

In 1995 there was the extremely huge input from the BFA, bringing boomerang boxes, matting and electronics, showing for the first time in continental Europe real international flyball racing. Because of this huge success, some dog training clubs came together and agreed on adapting NAFA/BFA racing rules. We had a lot of demos and tournaments with a total of 14 teams competing. By the end of april we had built our own electronics and more and more clubs are starting up Flyball.

Now in the 1996 edition, exactly 1 year after starting real competition, we have a sub-twenty team, Hoboken A with a time of 19.71 sec. (jumps 37,5 cm) they raced:

• Roxettte, a Border Collie, owned by Heidi Baeten who is the height/start dog
• Shari, a Groenendael, owned by Artur Binon, who is the fastest dog in continental Europe
• Rani, a Border Collie, owned by Sipora Van den Brande whose times are extremely consistent.
• Kim, a German Shepherd, owned by Frank Janssens who the fastest dog in Belgium, consistently under 4.5 at competition.
