Take the Plunge with Keystone DockDogs!
Come try the newest dog extreme sport! There are two classes for any dog to try and win!
- Big Air
- Big air is the long jump equivalent for canine athletes. At speeds over 20mph, these dogs catapult themselves off the end of a 40 foot dock into a body of water (an above ground pool) to retrieve their favorite toy. Jump distance is measured from the end of the dock to where the base of the dog's tail breaks the water. The current world record is 28'10".
- Extreme Vertical
- Extreme vertical is a high jump contest in which the dog launches upward, nearly seven feet in the air, to quench his instinctual desire to play fetch in its extremist form. Rather than clearing a cross bar as in track and field, the dogs must knock down a bumper which is suspended over the water and positioned 8 feet out from the end of the dock. The current world record is 7'8".
Eligibility

- Registration opens at 8am Saturday and Sunday. Competitors need to check-in ½ hour before each wave.
