Marcel Buff
My name is Marcel Buff and my lovely’s dog’s name is Lenox, a black white Border Collie. I started to play disc dog, as special mini distance in 2009. I saw how much fun my dog had when I played with him and so we got in to the sport. Since 2011 I also play freestyle. This gives us a lot fun although I mess sometimes up :o)
Disc dog gives me a lot. I can totally forget everything around me and have the best time with my dog. We both just love to play together on a nice day on a big field. I also really appreciate the very nice atmosphere between the player’s it’s like a really big family. For me it’s very important to have fun with the dog and take care of his healthiness.
Since a short time I’m also proudly part to the Team Hero Europe.
Disc Dog Tips
"Before you play disc with your dog, get a checkup at the vet to ensure good health."
"Take a lot of time to train your own throwing skills (without the dog). The better you can throw and control a disc, the better and more safe your dog can catch it."
