Big Crazy Train, congratulations to Dixie and her handler, Tonnie McBroom! ❤️🖤
Dixie earned her very first flyball point back in July at the Surf City Flyball tournament, but like a lot of young flyball dogs, her journey wasn’t perfectly straight from there. She backtracked a little, had some things to work through, and Tonnie never gave up on her.
Over the last ten months, Tonnie and Dixie have worked so hard. They kept training, gained focus, attended a Skidmarkz seminar with Jayne McQuillen and Emily Helin. Tonnie stayed positive, and most importantly, their relationship really blossomed. All that work came together at Bad Company Flyball, Inc's Fast and Furriest Flyball Tournament just over two weeks ago, where Dixie kicked it into high gear and earned another 260 points!
So yes — we can officially say it:
Dixie is a flyball dog!
Now that she has the game figured out, we know she is only going to get faster as Tonnie and Dixie get to focus on passing, endurance, and continue building confidence in the lanes.
This is such a huge accomplishment for both of them. Tonnie has been part of Crazy Train for just over six years. She started with her Beauceron, Ori, and has helped our team — and even other clubs — at countless tournaments by box loading, supporting, learning, and putting in the work behind the scenes.
Seeing Tonnie finally reach this goal with Dixie is incredibly special. She is a flyball dog handler, and Dixie is a flyball dog.
We are so happy for this amazing pair and cannot wait to cheer them on at many more tournaments. Way to go, Tonnie and Dixie! ❤️🖤🚂
