Under clear blue sun-filled skies and with spectators and competitors alike making adjustments for the unseasonably warm fall weather, local frisbee dog club Flying Disc Dogs of Austin hosted a UFO World Championship in Jonestown, Texas October 18-20.

At the beautiful lakeside venue, the best competitors from all over the world, including many from the USA, competed for the title “2019 UFO World Champion.”

The dogs and handlers work together as a team to showcase their breathtaking talents. Building up to Sunday’s overall championship, competitors took part in a Throw & Catch Championship and a Freestyle Championship. 

Whatever the competition, it was a thrilling weekend showcasing talent and dedication from all taking part.
