Dozens of dogs descended on Dundee at the weekend to compete in the Tayside open flyball tournament.
More than 200 animals from across Scotland and the north of England took part in the event, which is one of the largest in Scotland.
Teams of four vie in relay to be the fastest over four jumps to retrieve a ball from a spring-loaded box.
Twenty seven teams competed in the open section with a further 13 running in the novice section in the two day event at Camperdown Park.
Groups had travelled from as far afield as Aberdeen, Durham and East Yorkshire to take part and many different breeds of dogs raced throughout the day.
The smallest dog to run the course was chihuahua/Yorkshire terrier cross Monty.
His owner Darren Froggart, from Teeside-based team Fun Flyballers, said the diminutive pup proved the sport was not just for collies.
He said: “He’s been doing flyball for about four years and has been doing open competition for two years.
“He just loves it – this is his 24th competition. A lot of teams nowadays use small dogs, what they call height dogs, to bring the hurdle height down but flyball is for all dog breeds. Monty is quite unusual, I think there are only four Yorkshire terriers that have ever competed in Britain. It’s down to the dog though, if they enjoy it there is very little to stop them competing.”
Margarite Flemming brought her three border collies from Aberdeenshire to compete.
Margarite, who runs with the newly-formed Scratch Squad, described the event as “brilliant”.
She said: “It’s been great for our starter [novice] dogs. We had two starter teams in each day and the people have really enjoyed it but they are absolutely exhausted.”
Alan Wood, of Tayside Road Runners, who organised the event in conjunction with Dundee Dynodogs, said: “The weekend has gone very well, we’ve had the weather and we’ve had the teams to make it the biggest tournament we’ve ever had. Our starters team came second today, which is an absolute bonus.”
