FHF Dancing With Myself at Wildhearts BCAT

Dany is sired by Payson (GCh Peaceful Acres Pay It Forward to Red Rock) and out of Rockie (FHF Rock My World CGCA). She is a very talented, intelligent, and athletic girl and is competing in frisbee and disc dog events. Dany is gentle and soft dog, she is loves to play with frisbees, balls, tugs, and the other dogs. When Dany is out at an event, she has never met a stranger and begs for attention from everyone. She rarely barks, when she does it is usually out of frustration because she missed catching a frisbee or ball. When we host our Fourth of July parties, Dany is out playing with the kids and hanging out catching every disc a child throws. She is amazing with my young son too, she gently hands him the frisbee and picks it up again when he tries to throw it for her and is very gentle. At my job working on a crisis hotline, Dany joins me for most of my shifts and walks among the advocates and spend time with them while they are supporting callers in crisis.

Dany's fault is her bite. At six months of age, her bite went off - all of her teeth line up correctly along the sides and are in the correct place and her lower teeth are perfect but her upper incisors flare outwards slightly. The vet said it is not an overbite or wry mouth.

Disc Dog

Dany LIVES to play frisbee, she will sit outside next to the bucket where our practice discs are kept every time she is outside waiting to play no matter the weather. Dany has a smooth and collected jump when she is going for the disc during Toss & Fetch. When we are at a disc event, Dany hasn't met a stranger and approaches everyone with her frisbee in her mouth hoping that they will play with her...or love on her, but she really wishes they would throw a frisbee for her.

Dany qualified for Up Dog International Finals in her first year of competing and we were able to go and compete! Despite the weather and ticks, Dany did well and placed #12 in Midi Division for Throw and Go at the 2019 Up Dog International Finals in Cadiz, Kentucky.

Dany scored at the 99% in Throw & Go in Davison, Michigan on 7/5/2021 with a score of 55.
Up Dog Challenge Lifetime Points: 2,441.00
