Rival's Dart

Breed:  Border Collie

Owner/Handler:  Julie Stanek

Dart is retired now, but if there was a Texas Flyball Hall of Fame, he would definitely be in it.  Dart raced when the first Texas club (and the 5th club in the world) broke 16 seconds (Top Dog Racers; 15.96; 29 March 2003).  He also raced when the second Texas club (and the 7th club in the world)  broke 16 seconds (XDOGS; 15.988; 27 March 2004).   

Dart was much more versatile than most top-level flyball dogs.  He competed in obedience, agility, rally, and herding.

One of Dart's greatest achievements has been the fine offspring he has sired that compete at top levels in agility and flyball.  When Hyper Flight won the 2009 U-FLI Division 1 Championships, three of the five dogs racing were his offspring: Temper, Chex, & Link.  When Hyper Flight won the Championships again in 2010, three of four dogs racing were his offspring: Temper, Psyche, & Chex.  Indeed, most of Hyper Flight's achievements in Division 1 in U-FLI have been largely due to the offspring of Dart.
