Team Blissful Jumpers

Team Blissful Jumpers 2 Humans and 4 crazy doggos. Focusing on canine fitness and sports. Primarily dock diving. Hi! I'm Kagen and I was adopted from RUFF Rescue.

When I was found I weighed only 41
lbs. and I am now a healthy 74 lbs. I was emaciated, Heartworm Positive, and VERY scared of men! Thankfully for me, I was taken in as a stray in Clayton, NC by an incredibly kind Animal Control officer (Angie Lee), and she
contacted RUFF rescue about taking me into the program. This is where my foster mom (now my adoptive mom Cassie) came into the picture. She

works at Family Pet Animal Hospital where I was taken to get my rabies vaccine. As soon as she met me she knew she wanted to foster me...and in her heart of hearts knew I would be her furever dog :) I do unfortunately have Chronic Renal (Kidney) Failure as a result of my extreme emaciation and Heartworm Disease. I am being managed quite well with medication and a special diet. I started my dock diving career in May of 2015, and have come so very far from my first jump of 13 feet. I now average in the 17 to 18 foot range and have been known to go farther from time to time. I am a work in progress. I am learning ropes at extreme vertical and speed retrieve. I have a huge heart and try very hard to always make my mom happy. That and I LOVE the water!! So if I'm jumping and swimming I am one happy pup!!

What a wonderful weekend we had at Smoky Mountain K9 Sports for Smoky Mountain DockDogs Legends and New Leashes club event! It was so good to catch up with lots of friends that we havenโ€™t seen in way too long, and to make it to our first SMDD awards banquet!! Huge thanks to the SMDD board and amazing club members who worked to make this event happen after a last minute change in location was necessary. You guys are amazing! ๐Ÿ’œ

Caper: This was his first event as a hero dog after turning 12 at the end of May! He was amazing and had jumps ranging from 17โ€™4โ€ to 17โ€™8โ€. With lovely catches on almost every jump! Heโ€™s having a blast and as long as he remains sound and healthy weโ€™ll let him keep doing what he loves! ๐Ÿ’œ

Kevin and Klepto: Theyโ€™re really coming together as a team! Having multiple mid 18โ€™ to high 19โ€™ jumps! Making it to Senior finals and placing 1st!! They were also 4th in Speed Retrieve Express with an 8.170 second run. We still havenโ€™t found a way to get Klepto really interested in SR again. He just knows that bumper isnโ€™t going anywhere and his lazy swims reflect that, lol! He does seem like he enjoys playing the game with a โ€œSunday swimโ€ style.

Krueger and I had a great event! I felt like a MUCH better teammate to him (as far as throws for big air are concerned) compared to Battle Ship!! Iโ€™ve been practicing SO much (thanks for putting up with me Kevin!!), and I think itโ€™s helping! I still need to work on timing but the overall arc of the throw is improving. Iโ€™ll definitely continue to work on this! We had big air jumps ranging from 22โ€™11โ€ to 24โ€™8โ€! He won Elite Finals, and was 2nd overall in Big Air, was First in High Flyer Extreme Vertical, Sonic Speed Retrieve and Spartan Iron Dog! Heโ€™s the happiest guy and loved meeting several new friends over the weekend!

At 28 weeks post-op from bilateral TPLO surgery I finally felt comfortable enough to let KanderMan have some swimmy time!! He was SO happy! Iโ€™m beyond happy to report he had no post-swimming soreness! Weโ€™re definitely taking this slow and steady and getting those muscles built back up. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ
