Fylde's Open Racing Teams
The BFA calender is jam packed with open racing events and Fylde teams are always busy with competitions in the summer and winter seasons. Fylde currently runs up to four racing teams with between four and six dogs making up each team and each team is seeded on the BFA open seed list. There are no breed restrictions on open events so teams can choose to run whatever dogs they wish. Dogs running in BFA open events can gain points towards milestone awards. Traditionallly many teams run four collies, but fylde has never been traditional!
Fylde's Multibreed Racing Teams
Having always been a multibreed team, Fylde have always been competitive in multibreed competitions. These events occur less frequently than open competions and usually only take place on bank holiday weekends. The teams must consist of four different breeds of dog which can include one crossbreed. Multibreed teams are entered onto their own, separate seed list but the events also earn the dogs points towards their milestone awards. Fylde have been lucky enough to have enough breed dogs to race up to four multibreed teams in a season.
Fylde's Starter Teams
Starters is where the fun begins! All our team dogs will spend some time in starters. No matter how good a dog is in training, there's nothing quite like a competition environment! Some dogs thrive on the noise and hubabaloo of competitions - others are overcome with the occasion. The same goes with handlers too....
