When Sue and John first saw flyball at The Selby Game Fair they knew
flyball was the sport for them. In 2004 along came Millie, the rest as
they say is history.
Sue was a teacher before
taking early retirement, she now has a full time job looking after John, Millie
and Daisy. As well as flyball Sue enjoys cooking, baking, dog obedience
and agility, she also goes to keep fit classes with Carole.
John went to
work for Yorkshire Water in 1974 as an electrician, he is still there but
working in IT hence he is our webmaster. John is also our team winemaker
coming up with vintages such as Chardoggay, a Vin Pawdinaire, and Châteauneuf
de Pup, a Vin de Paws D'Og.
Millie is a Border-Lakeland cross and is the
current team height dog, she gained her Flyball Dog Award at Middlesbrough in
May 2006 and her FDI at Cantley in August, she has since gained her FDG in
December 2007 at Doncaster. Millie has also passed her Kennel Club Good Citizens Bronze and Silver awards. As well as flyball Millie enjoys walking, playing, eating and
digging up Sue's vegetable plot.
Sue and John now have a second Border-Lakeland cross Daisy, who is a half
sister to Millie. She attended her first flyball tournament at
The Northern Racing College in December 2006. Daisy is training for
flyball and also has KC Bronze and Silver. Daisy had her debut
race back where it all began at Carlton Towers during Easter 2008, she hardly
put a paw wrong and is now training for Divison. Sue has again abandoned all hope of growing vegetables this year.
