The Dock Dogs Competition, arguably the most popular event (certainly the cutest) at the Teva Mountain Games, is here to stay.

The Vail Valley Foundation reported yesterday that they have signed a multi-year deal with Eukanuba DockDogs to keep the wet and wild competition at the Mountain Games for the next three years. The deal comes with a few extra puppy perks. In addition to eight rounds of the DockDogs Big Air competition, DockDogs will also feature Speed Retrieve and Extreme Vertical competitions. Perhaps even more exciting, the Teva Mounatin Games competiton will serve as a qualifier for the DockDogs World Championships, starting in 2010.

From the Vail Valley Foundation Blog:

it's finally happened--the Teva Mountain Games have gone to the dogs--or at least the top canine competition organizer in the U.S.--as the Vail Valley Foundation has inked a multi-year agreement with DockDogs for all the Mountain Games' dog competitions.

Along with riding herd over the Eukanuba DockDogs events, presented by Cabela's at the Mountain Games for the next three years, DockDogs has also tabbed the Mountain Games as one of several U.S.-based zone championships that will serve as qualifying events for the DockDogs World Championships, beginning in 2010. This is serious tail-waggin' good news.

Eight waves of the Eukanuba DockDogs competitions, presented by Cabela's, are on tap June 5-7 for this year's Teva Mountain Games, with events including Big Air, Speed Retrieve and Extreme Vertical contests

Every dog has its day, but at the Teva Mountain Games, they have three. Start training your furry friends! There's precious little time left.
