Puk in Dogs Paintball

Pukin Dogs Paintball started as a casual 3-man tournament squad in 1990 with original members Craig Mercer and Billy Goodman. The team picked up the "Pukin' Dogs" name—borrowed from the U.S. Navy fighter squadron VF-143—and evolved from local tournament players into a dedicated scenario gaming team based in middle Tennessee.

Since 1998, the Pukin Dogs have been traveling throughout the southeastern United States competing in scenario paintball games. But this isn't just a competitive team—they're also a knowledge hub for paintball players at every skill level.
