Runnin' Rod


You may remember that Rod won the DoxPhest races this time last year.


After a couple pre-lim rounds at this year's race, I noticed Rod has a distinctive way of racing: he charges out of the starting blocks and drifts to the center of the track.


Even if someone is occupying the center of the track.



As his coach I feel like I should advise Rod to ditch this strategy…but Rod is clearly the expert here.



This year he successfully defended his title for a repeat win! Here is a clip of his championship run:


Like every doxie, Rod's gonna do it his own way.




Rod: in good company.

More of Rod's race footage is on his facebook page!

  3. way to go, Rod! Your stealing-the-center strategy is genius. Also those two doxies in the back - with all of their foots off the ground - is almost as amazing as you! I feel a photoshop project coming on.... oh, and I needs to get some race pointers from you. When I raced at the Wiener Roast last year I decided to run the opposite way of the finishing line.

    love,
