Bo ObamaHyperflite Delivers Emergency Stimulus Package to White House

Hyperflite, today, delivered an emergency stimulus package to our nation's capital targeted at preserving and defending the irreplaceable historic relics kept in the White House.

The emergency stimulus package, which includes Hyperflite's amazingly-tough Jawz disc, was designed to stimulate new Obama family member Bo into gnawing on his new Jawz discs, rather than the White House's historical artifacts.

First Dog Bo, a Portuguese Waterdog, is a high-strung breed with the means and energy to turn national treasures into national disasters.

Peter Bloeme, Hyperflite Co-Founder, observed that Hyperflite's new TARP (Tooth Avoidance Relic Protection) program represents the first step in a national campaign that will enable families to redirect the nervous energy of their canines into a healthy, safe, and fun activity, thereby preserving family relics for the enjoyment of future generations.

Disc Dogs Rock the America's Got Talent Show!

America's Got Talent fever is sweeping the disc dog world again this year, and two well-known disc doggers are right in the thick of it. First, there's Pam Martin with her great dog Viva (she's not using a disc, but we won't hold that against her). Go here to view Pam's dog dancing routine.

Next, former Hyperflite Skyhoundz World Canine Disc Championship team, Tony Hoard and Rory are burning up the stage with some excellent disc dogging. Watch Tony and Rory on America's Got Talent here. Here's another link to a nice article about Skyhoundz World Champions Tony and Rory.

Kudos to the AGT judges for not using the F word...yes, they actually called them discs!

The Dog Days of Summer

Alex Stein and Ashley WhippetThey don’t call them the Dog Days of Summer for nothing. Man’s, and woman’s, best friend, aka, those four-legged phenoms that we call canines have a long list of summer-time exploits. One of the most noteworthy Dog Days of Summer (especially if you are a disc dogger) was August 5, 1974, when Alex Stein and Ashley Whippet raced into the outfield at Dodger stadium during a nationally-televised baseball game. Heck, even the patent for the first disc designed for canine competition was filed during the Dog Days.

But it would be selfish of us disc dog types not to recognize that other non-disc catching canines have painted their stories on the summertime canvas. Many of those canine exploits are printed in the pages of history books. Others, although a bit more obscure, are certainly deserving of note.

One of the most famous canines of all time, Rin Tin Tin, a German Shepherd, was whelped in the summer of 1918. Though it was nearly 100 years ago, is there anyone on planet earth who hasn’t heard of Rin Tin Tin? 

And then there are the Lassies. The original Lassie was named Pal, and the (male and female) descendants of Pal who played Lassie in a series of TV shows and movies, did much of their film work in what surely must have been the dog days of summer.

That floppy-jowled mongrel, also known as Hooch warmed his way into our hearts when the movie Turner and Hooch, was released in July of 1989.

The names Dezik and Tsygan probably don’t ring a bell with many, but these two canines were the first creatures, with the exception of frozen microbes and some top-secret American monkeys, to venture from the earth’s atmosphere into the inhospitable environs we now call outer space.  They made their trip into the blackness on July 22, 1951. Wait a minute — you might be thinking — what about that dog Laika? Laika, was not the first canine in space, though she was the first dog to orbit the earth. Unlike her luckier brethren Dezik and Tysgan, Laika died in space before making it back home to the big blue marble.

And what would summer be without amazing disc dog freestyle competitions! Who among us doesn’t love to watch amazing freestyle routines choreographed to music? Elvis Presley’s version of the blues classic Hound Dog was released during the Dog Days, July, 13, 1956. One of the most popular disc dog freestyle music selections, Bad to the Bone by George Thorogood, was released in September of 1982.

Finally, as much as we love them, the Dog Days must come to an end, and the Hyperflite Skyhoundz Canine World Canine Disc Championship puts the period on summer canine shenanigans with its crowning event.
