About Us

IMG_2365_edited.jpg

The Minnesota Disc Dog Club began organizing disc dog events, play dates, and spreading the word about disc dog back in 2005 by our club founders, Josh Grenell and Roo Yori. They had a couple of high energy rescue dogs, Wallace and Wazee, that helped take the MN Disc Dog scene to the next level. Wallace the Pitbull inspired thousands across the world and became the poster dog of pitbull rescue when he became the first-ever pitbull world champion disc dog! Breaking down many stereotypes and showing the world that dogs of all shapes, sizes, and backgrounds can excel in the sport of disc! Wallace was on the brink of euthanasia when, Roo Yori, rescued him. Wallace the Pitbull just needed a human to understand him. The sport of disc dog is a fantastic outlet for high energy dogs, and it's of building an unbeatable bond with a dog! 

Our rich history built the foundation we all play off of today. We pay our respects to our 4 legged friends of the past and look to create an even better future!

 

We host the most disc dog competitions and a variety of competition formats in the land of 10,000 discs! New players are always welcomed with open paws, and are encouraged to get involved right away! Our events are designed for anyone to play and get hooked on the sport of disc dog. Beginner to expert, we have the fun, friendship, and community you seek!
