The AFA Committee is proud to present the new AFA LOGO.

At the August 2007 AGM it was suggested that we consider a new AFA logo. The AFA Committee have invited members for input and/or to submit designs for the Logo via The Flying Times newsletter.

At the last AFA meeting, the committee approved the use of Liz Coombes (Graphic Designer) new AFA logo for use on the membership cards. The AFA Committee are very grateful for Liz’s contribution as she has submitted the new logo design free of charge.

Hello there Lyn,

just wanted to know if you or someone you know would like a free poodle. I am moving overseas and intended to take Panda with me, but I am worried that he might pick up some disease or cope with the environment. Might be better if he stays here. He's about 20 months old now and typically poodle. Over to you.

This is the email which preceded Panda’s arrival in the Belconnen Bullets. The day after he arrived in May 2005, he was taken as a spectator at the 1,000,000 Paws Walk flyball demo. Ever seen a poodle with its jaw open??? Gob smacked!!! The next Tuesday night Panda to flyball training. Just for a laugh, he was lined him up in front of 4 jumps. He went over four jumps, triggered the box, picked up the ball, and came back over four jumps. He did it twice!

It took 18 months for Panda (266C) to become a reliable flyball dog, which included teaching him to catch. Panda isn’t the fastest poodle on the planet but Panda plays flyball for all the right reasons: it’s fun; you get to go amazing places; you get to hang out with your human all day; and oh, it’s fun!
