On Saturday, October 20, 2012, Vhoebe, a Belgian Malinois from San Diego, Calif., broke the Diving Dog World Record at the 15th Annual Purina Pro Plan Incredible Dog Challenge National Finals in Gray Summit, Mo. with a dive of 32 feet, 3 inches!
Vhoebe belongs to San Diego resident, Lise Ann Strum, and has been training in Dog Diving 5-6 times a week since 2009. Vhoebe has owned the Purina Pro Plan Incredible Dog Challenge record twice in the past three years and finally regained her crown (for a third time) this past weekend. Prior to Saturday, the World Record belonged to Cochiti, a 6-year-old Whippet from Olympia, Wash., who dove 32 feet this past June at the Purina Pro Plan Incredible Dog Challenge Western Regional in San Diego, Calif.
