​Lani is our 19 month old Chocolate Lab. Her name, Noelani, is Hawaiian meaning "girl from Heaven." Lani lives up to her name as she is the sweetest and most loving dog. She is a bundle of energy and loves to play in the water. It didn't take her long to figure out how much fun it is to run down our dock and dive into the water. So naturally, when she took her first dock diving session, she was hooked! This will be her first year in competition and she is eager to start the season.

​I have been a member for a couple years now - just still hoping to free my schedule up to finally compete with Drachen. He loves dock diving! Keep joining so the option is there for us!

Sophie is the heart and soul of our team. She is the dog that got me into this sport 5 years ago. We have been with SMDD for 5 years, and this is our 6th. 

Drake is the comic relief of the team. He has been invited to the world championship twice. He has been doing this for 4 years, making this his 5th season. 

Dallas just learned how to play last year. This is his second full season. He is entertaining and a constant reminder that prescience pays off. He learned to swim when he was 5 years old, and competed in is first DockDog event later that year. ​

Kurt and June Hagman with Curly and Cersei

​June’s Dock Dog Curly is in training to be a dock diver - he just learned to swim last fall and he loves to jump. His biggest problem, he he’s cold a lot since he has no fur! 
Kurt plans on working with Cersei. She is daughter of dock diving mama, Khaleesi. And she began her career at 6 months. She loves it so much that she jumps over barrier gates and fences to get in the water.

Leah Smith with Bailey, Indy, and Zoey

Bailey is our newest addition and hopefully will be on the dock this summer with her. Indy and Zoey love to swim. 
​Fezzik is new to the actual jumping in part of dock diving! Finally got the nerve to jump in. We're working on getting at least a little distance. He's having a blast eventho it may be short jumps. 

Coale has been jumping a few years and enjoys it! We're hoping to get to the top of the Junior division consistantly! He's a sweet boy and has lots of drive.
