FLYBALL

Ali-Oop is out of Dezi and Cowboy. We are very proud of Ali and Mark's accomplishments.

Ali-Oop is an AKC Border Collie that is being trained in Flyball and Agility. Ali has been doing Agility since she was 8 months, and Flyball since she turned a year old. She wakes you up every morning with her favorite tennis ball and goes to be bed at night, only after everyone and everything is exactly where they belong. She spends a great deal of time trying to make the cat stay exactly where she put it, although the cat thinks it's a game and enjoys moving around just to drive Ali crazy. They are very good friends. She loves to fish, camp and ride the ATV. When we go fishing she keeps track of each and every fish caught and tries to make sure they stay exactly where she puts them. The only thing she likes more than keeping things exactly where she puts them is playing Flyball and playing with kids, of course she prefers if the kids stay exactly where she puts them. She is very sweet and loving and will stay very close to you if you share your ice cream with her.

Ali-Oop has made several professional Flyball appearances in Colorado Mammoth half time performance, Colorado Nugget halftimes, Denver Bronco (Monday night) football, Denver Roller Dolls, and Denver Polo Classic halftimes. Where she is a crowd favorite, she stays focused while 75,000 people cheer and get very close to the event. She is a crowd favorite because she can be approached by even the smallest of children during and after the event.

We have made two appearances before the Colorado National Western Stock show in agility events where she is a crowd pleaser because of her speed and naturally good looks, she is absolutely gorgeous and likes to get her picture taken.

I travel extensively with Ali-Oop to events all over the west where we sometimes need to get a hotel room. She is happy to stay in the room quietly while I go to dinner with friends or go shopping. She does insist that I leave the TV on and tune to Fox News so she can keep up with current events. She also insists that I always rent a room that has two beds, she likes the hotel pillows, and she is very spoiled.
