One by one, dogs of all sizes leaped into a pool in Palmer earlier this month, testing just how far they could jump. The top-scoring canine competitors will head to Seattle next to compete.
Zeke leaps after a toy thrown by handler Bob Beck on July 4, 2022 at the Alaskan Diving Dogs Qualifier.
The canine competitors included Zeke, jumping for his “Excellent” title in the Master Division. That means he jumped 55 times between 20 and 24 feet. And then there was Maddox, a pit bull who had to don his life jacket before taking the leap. “There’s the distance jump,” said Destiny Lytle, one of the event’s organizers and a dog handler. “We also have air retrieve, which is where we have a toy suspended 4 feet above the water, and it moves out in 1-foot increments … and then we also have hydro dash, which is a timed event.”
