World record tied in Libertyville

Griz, a Belgian Malinois, tied the world record in extreme vertical with a jump of 8-foot, 4-inches last weekend at Libertyville’s Dog Days of Summer, a four-day festival featuring the National DockDog regional competition. More than 100 nationally ranked jumping dogs participated in events that included a “big air” jumping competition. A doggy fashion show, games, pet blessing and a dog walk to benefit Save-A-Pet were among the activities. Visit http://blog.dockdogs.com.
