It seems like the only breed that has a chance to win are black labs.

my question should have been more around this..do i have to pre register for the first day practice/open jumping?
im more interested in doing that with mine i just want to get her out jumping off a dock.
not looking to compete for a medal, just wear out the pup and have some fun :tup:

Have you ever been to one? I’ve never seen another breed come within 8 feet of the winner, who’s always been a black lab.

Other labs there seemed lucky to reach 15-18'. No doubt labs can sail and have the drive for it, many more slendet breeds can fire like a rocket and launch at the end of the dock more efficiently.
