According to Stealth's owner, "...he was always a very compassionate and loving greyhound.  He was a leaner.  Anyone that had a leg to give him, he would lean on it and nudge you to have you pet him.  That is what made him a wonderful therapy dog for 11 years.  But, when it came time for him to play ball - WOW - he was an obsessed maniac with the ball ...". 

From the time Stealth was adopted, his big joy on this earth was running after and retrieving a tennis ball.  He started Flyball at 8 years old -- kind of late in the game for anybody starting Flyball.  But, all the time and hard work paid off because three days before his 9th birthday he landed the title of Flyball Dog Excellent and at that time immediately ranked 5th Flyball Greyhound in North America.

Stealth raced in the anchor position for his team.  Being right-pawed, with a swimmer's turn off the box and jumping 9 inches most of the time, he would turn in a 5.5 second run.

Stealth raced in a Greyhound Premier Collar with his owner/handler, Dana Provost, releasing him approximately 16 feet from the start line.

After his turn from the box, Dana would yell, "Stealth here" and get his eye on another tennis ball in her hand and then place it behind her and run like the dickens for him to drop the ball by her and take the other tennis ball in her hand for his reward.  He was obsessed and Dana tried everything, but the tennis ball was what he returned for best.

In 2003 Stealth was Inducted into the Wild West Veterinary Pet Hall of Fame (Companion Dog). 

According to his owner, "I discovered clicker training when he was about 4.  He picked up tricks fast, he was opening and shutting cupboards, picking up objects like keys and rubber bands off the floor when asked, and even licked his lips on command."

Sonic didn't race in Flyball until the age of 5.  He raced in the 3rd position for his team, after the experienced dogs but before the height dog.  He was left-pawed, with a two-footed box turn and was a single strider between the jumps.

Sonic raced in a purple nylon Flyball collar with his owner/handler, Erica Martin, releasing him close to the start line, as he was new to Flyball.  He didn't use a tug toy but returned for praise, in typical Greyhound style.

Sonic's Flyball career was short but he was a really special dog loved by everyone and did everything he did with style.

Sonic had a ring through his nose (installed by a vet), which people either loved or hated, and he liked the attention it got him.
