In regard to this, my friend in the US said that the measuring is done with a camera taking 60 shutters per second. I was imaginging someone leaping in the water to hold the dog still while someone else swam out with a measuring tape (a bit like long jump in the water!!) The measurement is taken from the point where the tail joins the dogs body, and is I think taken back to the dock.

I think I actually found this article on the net when I was looking. It would be great to get this kind of thing going here!

Hi All, I've just been chatting with a friend who shows, does flyball and numerous other dog sports with her Culies in the USA. She was excited to show me the most amazing photos of 'Dock Jumping' which she and her dogs had been competing at today. Now having a dog that loves to retrieve (he's a Golden Retriever) and loves the water, and is quite limber from agility. I thought this might be another fantastic thing to get involved in ... except I can't find anything about it for Australia. So I'm wondering if any of the users here now about this sport, or of any movement to start something like this. All the links I can find are from the USA, but apparently they do "Jetty dogs' in the UK. I'll post some links below and be interested to hear what you think.
