Cin

Darren Page lives in Ontario,Canada and owns an Icie named Cin. They do disc together. Here is his explanation and some photos of them. I found this fascinating.

Single Disc is very simple and anyone can play.

(The first three photos.)

You have a start line and three lines across a field at 10, 15, and 20 yards from the start line.

You throw the disc from behind the start line and you get points depending on how far out the dog catches the disc.

If the dog catches the disc before the 10 yard line no points are given.

If the disc is caught between 10 and 15 yards, you get one point.

When caught between 15 and 20 yards three points are earned.

Beyond 20 yards five points are earned.

If the dog has all four feet off the ground when the disc is caught, you get an extra point.

The dog must return the disc to you.

In order to get a qualifying score the dog must catch a disc four times within the first seven throws after the 20 yard mark. There are two two-minute rounds. It’s basically toss and fetch.




Freestyle is where you perform tricks like having the dog jump over your leg, back flips in the air etc. to music. There are compulsory moves: two over the body catches, two under the body, one cris-cross and a three disc multi-catch. "That's the one Cin doesn't like and why we didn't Q."

Cin was bred by Valerie Sharp of Greenstone kennel in Canada.
