Benny - Benny is owned and loved by his two moms Carol and Donna. He started practicing with RFG in 2006 and joined the racing team in 2007. Benny, by BC standards is pretty calm, except for when he's doing what he loves to do best - flyball. Lovingly referred to as "the freight train", he runs with all his heart and might - so make sure to get out of his way! His favorite position is running in the "closer" position, but has adapted to running where he is needed. Benny's favorite thing about flyball is "the race" - which sometimes gets him into trouble. He's fairly consistent at 5.0, and always runs with his whole heart. When he's not playing flyball, catching the frisbee is his next favorite thing.

DaVinci - Vin is a mystery mix who was on his last day at animal control when Tara found him on Petfinder. Intrigued by his unusual look, she went to meet him and it was love at first sight. He certainly isn't a typical flyball dog and he isn't especially fast, but he sure loves to get out there and play.

Gwen - Gwen has been a consistent performer since she ran in her first tournament in February of 2006 at 16 months of age. Her love of the game is demonstrated by her ability to run in any position, by any handler and pass any dog. A tireless start dog and dependable anchor her value is in her speed and flexibility. In October of 2009 she became the first member of RFG to achieve the ONYX Title.

Henna - Henna is here to prove red heads have more fun! She came to her family as a foster dog when she was 6 months old. They could not bear to live with out her, so she stayed. She has been racing on RFG for 3 years, and she loves every minute of it. Miss Henna has a split personality....she's crazy and fast in the race lanes then she's super sweet and lovable at home! Henna just received her ONXY in January 2011. Not to bad for a dog they found running down the highway all by herself!

Isabel - Izzy is Tara's first flyball dog. She is a natural at the game and picked it up very quickly. She is very competitive and loves to race. Now in our 10th year of racing in region 1, we still get compliments on her box turn.

Rosie - Rosie is a re-homed Labradoodle from New York, NY. Her previous family just didn't have the time for such an energetic dog. Michele got Rosie to replace her service dog who tragically died from bloat. Although Rosie passed her service dog training and tests and worked for a year and a half, it was obvious her high energy level made it difficult for her to stay focused and on task. Rosie started flyball when she was three. She was a natural and progressed rapidly and flyball is now her passion. She has since retired from service work and just concentrates on flyball, frisbee, swimming and keeping family members laughing with her antics.
