Biography

Photograph by Luca Turano

How it all started

'Fundogteam' 

Julia and her two Border Collies are highly successful competitors in Discdogging or Dogfrisbee 2001 

How it all started

Julia met someone who showed her and her first dog, Lara, the fun action and, “Lara decided that this is what she wants to do.  So I had to learn how to throw this plastic disc!”

Amazing success 

Lara became vice Freestyle All-Star World Champion for the UFO reglement in 2009 and Julia says, “Lara and me had lots of successes over the years. Now at 13½ years old she still loves to go on the field and play and this is our biggest success …. sharing time together with our favourite sport.”

Leeloo’s successes

Leeloo is at the very beginning of her discdog career but at 3 years old she has already qualified 3 times for World finals and twice for European finals (including 2014).

She was the leading dog on the European ranking list of the UFO last year.

Any other activities Julia?

“No. We are just in Discdogging. Since it includes a lot of different things for the dog to learn I decided it is enough for them.  I also don’t sell CSJ products but I tell everyone how great CSJ products are, since they keep my dogs in perfect shape.”
