Desert Dawg Sports Club (DDS) is a not-for-profit organization in Tucson, AZ. It was formed by a group of individuals who believed in having a great time with their dogs.
DDS members enjoy a mixture of activities with their pups: agility, canine freestyle, rally obedience, barn hunt, and more. Some participate in multiple activities, while others focus on a single one. We have a sense of humor and a supportive attitude toward our dog(s) and fellow competitors. Our primary purpose is helping people have fun with their dogs, and have fun ourselves in the process. We will consider any game if members are willing to support it with their time and share it with others.
Agility has been around a long time and is our strongest interest - we currently offer shows in UKI and CPE (Canine Performance Events, Inc) both of which have well-deserved reputations for being excellent for first-time handlers or new canine athletes.
Some members are involved in canine freestyle through the WCFO (World Canine Freestyle Organization), which is global and has clubs in 17 countries.

Desert Dawg Sports is fortunate to enjoy some great friends in the form of folks that not only support us but we support them as well, trainers and merchants alike.
Due to the kind generosity of Art Cake and Silverado Plumbing, Desert Dawgs now has a high-quality teeter that should last our club for MANY years to come.
We cannot thank Art and Silverado Plumbing enough.
