Dock Dogs!

Saturday and Sunday saw me at the 1000 Islands Dock Dogs club Dock Diving session at the Kingston Sheep Dog Trials.
Some fabulous jumpers and some reluctant jumpers, but everyone had a great time!

I’ll be posting all the photos online in a few days. Meanwhile, here’s a sample of the action.

Nova 2000-2009

I heard the sad news that a dog I photographed recently at the ADSC agility trial had passed away from cancer.
His owner asked me to make something special from three of the photos.

AAC Nationals

Thee AAC Nationals at the Equestrian Park in Nepean have come and gone. Three days of competition (four if you count the prequalifers) starting with two steeplechase runs on Friday. Tyra’s 2 runs were fast enough to get her into the steeplechase finals on Sunday afternoon. This is her second stepplechase final at a Nationals event. She also made it into the fnals last year in the very competitive 26″ regular class.. This year she’s running as a 22″ special dog. I’m very pleased with her overall 5th place finish with 3 individual first placements in both standards and the second jumpers.
Tyra's 5th Place

One of the stars of the show was 12 year old Pippin. He and Leslie won first place in their class to become the 10″ Veterans National Champions! Congratulations to Leslie and Pippin!
