WBHF is excited to be able to present Dixie Dock Dogs at our next event. Dock diving is an outdoor sport that can be enjoyed by the whole family and does not require dog owners to spend a fortune on a certain breed of dog, dog grooming or accessories. Any dog and any fetch toy is all that is needed to participate in dock diving.

More Fun Than You Can Stand in a Day
- What is DockDogs? DockDogs is a fun, performance sport for dogs. DockDogs Events are held Regionally, Nationally and Internationally. Most DockDogs Competitions are comprised of four contests; ‘BIG AIR’, ‘EXTREME VERTICAL’ (EV) and ‘SPEED RETRIEVE’.
- Who Can compete?
Anyone can come out, register his or her dog and have a good time. We will track every official jump of all competitors in all our events. There’s no age limits for handlers nor are DockDogs events limited to certain breeds. Any breed, from the
smallest Chihuahua to the largest Great Dane is welcome at a DockDogs event. Any breed…any size…6-months or older.
- What is Big Air? Judging for distance, this competition judges how far your dog can jump from the edge of the dock across the pool. The dog can start by running from the beginning of the dock in order to generate momentum, distance is calculated from the edge of the dock to where the base of the dogs tail hits the water. There are many different divisions, so all dogs with different jumping distances can join in the fun and have success.
- What is Extreme Vertical? This is the “high jump” for dogs. When competing in Extreme Vertical (EV), dogs jump upwards from the dock in order to retrieve the official Dockdogs Flappy toy, landing in the water.
- What is Speed Retrieve? DockDogs Speed Retrieve involves a run...jump...swim environment. The clock starts when the dog leaves the starting line on the dock, and stops when the dog swims to the end of the pool and retrieves the official DockDogs Flappy toy.
