DockDogs coming to Outdoor Channel - VIDEO

DockDogs is not a sequel to Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs, but rather a new seven-part series on the Outdoor Channel focusing on a competition in which dogs jump off of docks. There's dock-diving, which is scored based on distance, and the extreme vertical, which is scored based on how high the dogs jump.

I've seen plenty of dogs take to water willingly, but have never heard of it as an actual competition. I decided to search for footage on YouTube and came across a short clip from the Ducks Unlimited Great Outdoors Festival in Oshkosh, WI. What I've gathered is that there's this dock . . . and dogs jump off it. Seems pretty straight forward.

DockDogs kicks off in October and will follow the aqua dogs and their owners through to the National Championship Finals. Other competitions taking place during the dock jumping include winging kittens across a river and launching gerbils into a glass of water using a rubber band.

Okay, I made those last two up.
