CANAM 2026 RECAP
First of all I just want to say how PROUD I am of this team. After a year of many ups and down, hardships and loses I’m very excited for the direction this team is headed.
From the support and dedication from our members at CANAM to the rest of team at home watching live and cheering us on, it’s was incredible to feel that passion and love for the sport again.
I’d love to give a MASSIVE thank you to our friend Chris Denman from Aces High Flyball Team for flying across the pond to help us run dogs and support the team.
The experience to be at such a large event with someone from an experienced team to bounce ideas off of and make tough calls with, gave some great insight.
Despite having some setbacks with females coming into season and an injury mid comp, our green dogs stepped up to do their best, and I couldn’t be prouder of those owners letting us give them that experience and take every win we would in the lanes.
Some Highlights
Seana & Addie
Killed it on the lights with some great starts and nearly perfect she set the tone with a 0.001s on Sunday
Addie as always is miss reliable holding her ball, taking jumps and running consistently all weekend.
Mikenzi & Lainey
It was Lainey’s first time at CANAM she started off the week fantastic maintaining her box turns and building confidence in the lanes with a busy environment. Unfortunately we had some dogs cross over which triggers her PTSD, however, Lainey still gave it her all ALWAYS bringing her ball back, jumps and box turn were a suggestions 🤭
We are so proud of Lainey for always giving her best, not only for Mikenzi but also running with a new to her Handler allowing us to secure a win on Sunday.
Marissa, Banff, Saskatoon and Jasper
It was Saskatoons first CANAM and he handled the environment like a pro, putting up some 3.5s over the weekend and averaging around 3.6s we are very happy with his consistency and ability to run with different handlers and dogs on the fly.
Banff was his typical robot self and did everything he was asked, he ran along Chris for the weekend until he unfortunately faced an injury Sunday and had to be pulled. Banff posted some low 3.9s consistently making us hungry to keep speeding this bean up!
Jasper had to come out of his soft retirement and sub in Sunday as we started to run out of dogs. Running for the first time on the upgraded boxes and without much practice in the last year, Jasper helped secure some clean runs and made his momma proud. Jasper officially retired at canam with some racing and his CANAM send off run.
The foundation to our team and Marissa’s first Flyball dog, we wish him the best in retirement!
Chili popped in for few runs to get some more experience, unfortunately another dog chased her up the lanes and she forgot which set of jumps were hers.
All in all it was a weekend filled with friends and dogs we will always make the best time regardless of wins, points or placements.
A BIG thank you to our sponsors
