Today’s dog-sports itinerary has a little of everything: a dock, a flying disc, agility equipment and a collection of game names that sound ready for a pirate map. The Treasure Coast Kennel Club’s Pirate Cluster is scheduled for Oct. 8–11 at the St. Lucie County Fairgrounds in Fort Pierce, Florida.
The club’s current event notice says Fast CAT will run as planned. UpDog’s listing for the Fort Pierce weekend names games including Boom!, Fireball, Four Way Play, Frizgility, Greedy, Spaced Out, Throw N Go and Time Warp. The mix gives dogs several ways to sprint, leap, chase a disc or show off their teamwork with a handler.
For spectators, dock diving is the splashy option: dogs run along a dock and launch after a toy, while disc-dog games bring catches and quick turns into the program. The club’s schedule places the gathering at the fairgrounds through Sunday, Oct. 11. Event details and activity availability can change, so visitors should check the organizers’ latest listings before heading out.
