Meet Dr. Tim's Team Momentum!

DANIE ARNT AND SEEKER

I’ve been training and competing in various dog sports with my husband, Howard Bayerle, since 1999. We currently race with the flyball club Lunatic Fringe in Atlanta, GA. We were the NAFA Regional Multibreed Champions in 2011. We also compete in lure coursing with our whippets, all three are American Sighthound Field Association (ASFA) Field Champions.

We had dabbled a bit with dock diving with Howard’s older Labrador Ubu, but at 11 years old he was beginning to have some physical difficulties. It wasn’t until we tried the sport with our new puppy Seeker, that we really became addicted to this exciting aquatic sport. We got Seeker in December of 2010 at about 3.5 months old. He was bred by Ian and Tooie Crooks of Blue Cedar Sport dogs. Since the late 1990’s, Ian has been developing a smaller athletic dog from breeds such as the Border Collie, Border Terrier, Jack/Parson Russell Terrier, Staffordshire Terrier and more recently the Whippet. So, we new Seeker would be an outstanding flyball dog, but what he has been able to accomplish on the dock has astounded everyone who sees him.

Seeker is a small dog; just 16.25 inches and a little over 18 pounds he qualifies as a DockDogs Lap Dog. seeker2 At just 9 months old, Seeker was jumping well over 19 feet. At 12 months old, he popped over 23 feet in an Ultimate Air Dogs (UAD) competition. We began competing in DockDogs in the spring of 2012 and by summer he had turned in a personal best 23ft 4inch jump, taking first place in the Master class and beating dogs significantly larger than him. He earned an invitation to the DockDogs World Championships. He holds a regional/club and National Master Jumper title, both of which he earned before turning two. He is currently ranked 2nd in the world in Lap Dog Big Air.

seeker3 We’ve tried a lot of different foods over the years including home-cooked and raw. However, with 10 dogs in our family, we really appreciate the simplicity of feeding a dry kibble. We learned about Dr. Tim’s and after some research, decided to try the Pursuit formula for our young competitive dogs. We are more than satisfied with Pursuit. Our pickiest eaters gobble it down. We have finally found a food that actually puts weight on our young whippets, Kona and Elvis. I’ve actually had to cut back their portions, something I never imagined doing. The results with Seeker, our most versatile and outstanding athlete, have also been amazing. After switching him to Pursuit he has put on noticeable muscle and his coat absolutely glistens. Dr. Tim’s Pursuit is a high quality food that gives my canine athletes the fuel they need to perform at their best. A high quality food keeps the vet visits to a minimal and that helps our budget!

CRYSTAL MCCLAREN

crystal1 I have been actively training animals for competition for 17 years. At the age of 15 I began training American Saddlebred horses and in 2002 I began my carrier as a dog trainer. As a Canine Behavioral Specialists I use exercise and competition along with proper diet to put high drive canines to work and keep them out of mischief. My true love is the sport of Dock Diving. We are Team Bo Nose and my rescue dog Bo is the Dock Dogs Iron Dog World Champion.

To date, Bo has set 9 dock diving World Records including Extreme Vertical and Iron Dog. Bo is a true athlete and we work very hard on his conditioning and training. Along with conditioning and training, diet is the most important thing in getting your dog in peak condition. From the time I started feeding Bo Dr. Tim’s Momentum, he has developed muscle & stamina I never knew he had. His endurance and recovery time is remarkable. I truly believe Dr. Tim’s has helped Bo become the #1 Dock Diving Dog in the World. I know Dr. Tim’s Momentum can help your dog become a champion too.

KOUROSH PARTOW

kp-final-3-11-16

We started our journey with racing Sleddogs back in late 1980’s in Paris!! It all started with a white Siberian Husky puppy called Crimson. We then quickly got involved in a local Sleddog club and started dryland bikejoring and kart racing with PB Siberians. Due to the mild climate in France and Europe in general, the dryland season is sometimes more competitive than snow races, so we would race both circuits! In the early 1990’s we started to have a very competitive 6-8 dog team, started traveling the European race circuit and qualified for several World, European and National championships. We were also selected for the 1992 Winter Olympic Games in Albertville, France, part of the exhibition sports!

In mid 90’s we moved to the midwestern United States in order to follow our dream and passion, where we met our friends and mentors Barb and Dale Munford and our longtime kennel and race partners Ken and Lori Chezik. We very quickly learned that to have an ultra competitive team we had to comply with all 3 cornerstones of our sport!

“Nutrition”, “Genetic Selection”, “Training”!

We competed in the Midwest, Colorado and Canadian races for several years and finally decided to travel to Alaska to gauge our team against the best in the world. After several years of traveling North, we found that Alaska was the homeland and moved to Chugiak, AK in 2002. Sleddogs then became a lifestyle and not a hobby any longer.

We imported several different Scandinavian and European bloodlines in hopes of achieving a greater genetic pool. We maintained a small kennel of 14-16 athletes, we trained religiously, followed a strict schedule and most importantly tried to give them the best nutrition!

Throughout the years this recipe allowed us to win over 440 trophies and medals. From club championships to World Cup championships! However 2016 was our most victory laden year ever. In addition to our regular regimen we also followed Dr Hunt’s recommendations on our nutrition format. We competed in 14 races with a very small pool of exceptional dogs and stayed undefeated race after race, broke several track records in Alaska and reached some mystical speeds never achieved in our sport!
