Newspaper Report

Submitted by Paul Horton on Fri, 11/03/2022 - 09:45
Yesterday, the Telegraph newspaper released a report which discusses the injury risk to Flyball dogs. The BFA believe this report to be massively biased and has no substantiated evidence and shows our sport in very poor light with no Flyball specific research having been done at all. The BFA are currently working with a PHD student and both the Hartpury and Writtle Universities to produce the first ever extensive study into the biomechanics of the Canine Athlete pertaining specifically to the sport of Flyball.
