CSJ & Disc Dogs

About Disc Dogs

The sport started on August 5, 1974 when Alex Stein, a 19-year-old college student from Ohio and his dog, Ashley Whippet, jumped the fence at a nationally broadcast baseball game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Cincinnati Reds.

Stein had with him a couple of flying discs, which he threw for his dog. Ashley astonished the crowd with his disc catching, as he ran up to 35 miles per hour (56 km/h) and leaped 9 feet (2.7 m) in the air to snag the disc.

The stunt was so novel that the game was stopped and Joe Garagiola continued to announce the flying disc action on the field. Finally, after eight minutes, Stein was escorted off the field and arrested. The nationally televised exhibition of Ashley's skill started to fuel interest in the sport.

" My dogs LOVE it, I LOVE in what perfect shape they are with CSJ food and herbals. Wished I had known earlier about it, it would have saved lots of time searching for the best food for my dogs. "
