Sammy and Lucy made their tournament debut at U-Fli, racing in pairs as well as in singles. Both dogs ran well all day, getting a pairs best time of 11.88 seconds and singles best times of 5.2 and 5.5 seconds respectively.

Sammy and Lucy made their house league debut in November 2006. The house league experience was very valuable, transforming them from totally green dogs to soon-to-be Flyball Dogs ready for the racing lanes. Over the course of the league they were joined by Tashtego, Walter, and Jasmine who participated by doing recalls and who all did great job.
