CanAm 2012
We had a blast this year at NAFA's Can Am tournament. This was the second year that On the Fly has gone, but for over half the team, this was their first experience! The dogs and handlers held up very well over the weekend. Enjoy some photos thanks to team members Rick and Maxine Wilde!

We all had a blast at CanAm again this year! Some great racing from everybody (dogs and handlers).
Our vets team was handled by some of the youngest members of the team. Seeding put us at the bottom of the division on Friday, so we came away with 3rd on Friday, but on Sunday, seeding favored us, and we placed 1st.
The 'Pyke' team on Friday and Sunday had some great races. Friday took some adjusting for the new dogs in such an overwhelming environment, but they got it back together after a day of rest and came away with second place on Sunday! Smash subbed in on that team on Sunday, and Allan got a couple sub 4's out of him in start. We haven't seen those numbers from him in a long time.
The 'Karma' team did very well on Friday, coming away with 1st place in their division! Racing didn't go as well on Saturday, but the dogs worked hard!
The Multi team was on the losing end of seeding on Saturday and Sunday. They tried hard, and raced very well, but just couldn't keep up with the other teams.
The Regular team tried to reverse our regular lineup on Saturday, but our times just weren't near what they normally are, so on Sunday we switched back, and were more like ourselves! We were seeded in the middle of the pack on Sunday, and after some stressful racing and waiting, all the stars aligned and we made the finals for division 2. It was a very tight race, times couldn't have been much closer, but at the end of 5 heats we walked away as the Regular Division II Champions!
A few new titles were earned this weekend. Jesse and Patches both earned their FDCh-S and Blitz earned his FGDCh-30.
