2006 Division 2 U-FLI™ Champions

November 11th, 2006 the Stealth Squad took first place in Division 2 in the U-FLI Championship tournament in Mesquite.

It was a complete team effort to accomplish this wonderful feat. The competing dogs were Twister, handled by Jack Cameron, Holly, handled by Eunice Ciaccio, Vengeance, handled by Val Pearson, and Spirit handled by Peggy Knapp.  Backing up the team were Crack and Anna. The pass caller was Lynda Beck-Smith, box loader Kathy Daniels, timer Sally Frankel, field marshal Alan Daniels, and Chris Davis handling props and flags.

We are very proud of our whole team and had a wonderful time racing all the other teams in Dallas.  The competition was fierce and every team there had obviously earned their seed times. Thank you all for some GREAT racing.

Team History

The Lickety Splits Flyball Team was created when a number of Aztec Doberman Pinscher Club members, led by Trudy Morgan and her dog Jetta, decided that Flyball would be a terrific outlet for their Dobermans, and would showcase the breed in a positive light. This was important because of all the negative publicity Dobermans had received (undeservedly) over the years. Initially, Lickety Splits was an independent team, but was later adopted and sponsored by Aztec DPC to ensure that Lickety Splits remained as a viable outlet for showcasing of Dobies in Flyball.

Original team members were Dobies Jetta, Shermie, Roonie, and Miss Bud. They were joined by Bryson (Belgian Malinois), and height dogs Becky (Pembroke Welsh Corgi), and Cozy (Border Terrier). Soon the team expanded its Dobie population with Lux, Sunny, Nugget, and Jade. Then came Bruiser and Kari. The team also added a number of other breeds. We have one Doberman currently running with the team -- Bruiser.

Lickety Splits has evolved into a fun and competitive team with an emphasis on training for speed, accuracy, and dog safety. Our 4 different breed squad's time puts us among the top multibreed (NAFA) and variety (U-FLI™) squads in North America.

The team is now independent from Aztec DPC, but we still support their award-winning rescue work.
