Keystone DockDogs at SteelStacks: Bethlehem, PA

First dock diving competition of 2019” and “Porter’s first attendance at competition ever” was on June 1st and 2nd, 2019.   SteelStacks is by far one our most favorite venues!

Cello enjoyed giving the boys “pointers” and “pointing” out all their mistakes throughout the weekend.

Hoooooooooch entered his first competition as an Iron Dog! He won 3rd Place overall in the Gladiator Division!!! He also did Speed Retrieve for the first time and earned a score of 6.783 seconds! (I couldn’t believe it!!) He also qualified for Elite Division Big Air Finals and placed 4th overall.

Whiskey

Wish the Fish barely plopped into the pool on Saturday, but it was enough to qualify for Finals for her first time ever!! However, Whiskey decided today was not a good day to dock dive, and she refused to jump in finals, earning 5th Place overall in the Novice Division!!

Porter

Po Po was so well behaved this weekend! He enjoyed watching all the commotion and took some long naps each day. He is still trying to figure out what team position he should apply for… Team Water Boy? Team Manager?

Liver Killer Bling!

Keystone DockDogs at SteelStacks: Bethlehem, PA

SteelStacks is one of our favorite venues for dock diving – and Keystone DockDogs is one of the best hosts!

We were able to camp right in the parking lot at SteelStacks too!

Limoncello:

This was a very “off” event for Cello.  She was definitely not herself, and it showed through in her performance.  We wound up scratching her from some of her jumps until we could get her seen by a vet to be sure she was OK.

Margarita enjoyed her time chewing on treats, playing with toys, getting attention from fellow competitors, and hanging out with an adorable Bernese Mountain Dog puppy!

Liver Killer Bling: Gift bag full of goodies, medals, and ribbons!

If you are in the area and can stop at SteelStacks, it’s worth the trip – the stacks are amazing to see in person, and they host some pretty cool events and great concerts!

Hooch:

Hooch had fractured his paw a few weeks back, and he had JUST been cleared to try one jump per day at this event.  Apparently we need to restrict his activity before all events, as he earned himself a new personal best Big Air score this weekend!
