The Dog Toss

– Posted on January 28, 2009Posted in: dogs

Here at Border Wars, we’re always on the lookout for potential new dog sports. Frisbee, flyball, agility, and dock jumping aren’t for everyone, and the more venues there are for friendly competition, the better.

In the tradition of the Highland Games and that frat house classic Dwarf Tossing, I give you the first inaugural DOG TOSS. Human assistance not required.

I have a feeling that your liability insurance isn’t going to cover this event. You break it, you pay for it. You break it off, and your Border Collie suddenly becomes “an Aussie.”
