Dogs doing agility is always fun. You never know what you are going to get. Watching the dogs move through the course, but you have to be ready to adjust because sometimes the dogs go off script. This Dalmatian wasn’t ready to do the weave poles on this day. They started and stopped a couple times. Then the Dalmatian approached the weave poles from the outside. The dog is giving the weave… Read More

The second dog I ever had was a Longhaired Dachshund. Our dog Rusty, and he looked a lot like the dog in this photo. We had our Longhaired Dachshund, Rusty for a large part of my childhood. He is the first dog I really remember well. I am pretty sure that was where my love affair with dogs began. I will always remember watching our tiny Longhaired Dachshund run across our yard… Read More

When I watch dogs competing in agility sometimes I think my dog might like that. Or maybe I could get my dog to do that. Then I watch the dogs run up and over the “A” frame obstacle. And I think to myself there is no way our one dog would ever do that. We can’t even get him to walk on hard floors or use stairs. He would never run up… Read More

As I have mentioned I love big dogs. I really am not a small dog person. The Chihuahua epitomizes the small toy dog. The Chihuahua is everything that I don’t really like about small dogs. However, I totally understand why other people love them. There is a dog for every kind of person. But if you want to turn me around about a particular dog breed. Let me see that breed of… Read More

The Boston Terrier is a pretty small dog. Although small the Boston Terrier does seem to have a pretty well proportioned body. The only feature other than its size that sets the Boston Terrier apart from many other dog breeds is how its nose is mostly flat and smooshed in against the front of its face. I love watching dogs run agility courses. Agility competition is even more interesting when there is… Read More

Border Collies are a breed of dog I love mainly based on watching them perform in the agility ring. They are probably one of the few dog breeds that I have more photographs of while competing in agility than while in the conformation ring. Border Collies are quite amazing at agility. Seeing the Border Collies who have been training and working in agility for a long time speed through a flawless round… Read More

I always enjoy how many people gather around to watch the agility dogs show their stuff. You can see all the spectators in the background of the photo. I often shoot close up shots of the dogs during agility so I see in detail the dogs reactions to the agility course. In this photo of the Belgian Tervuren I set it up so there is a nice scenic background showing off the… Read More

The Beauceron is a beautiful breed. I have not had the pleasure of seeing this breed very often. I hope to see more of the m in the future. It is really nice when there is a breed of dog that I don’t see regularly and I get to see it in both the conformation ring and out on the agility course. Seeing a breed of dog like the Beauceron in more… Read More

One of my long time loves when it comes to dog breeds has been the Australian Shepherd. This is one dog breed I always dream about sharing my home with. But if it is going to happen it has to be jus tthe right time. Australian Shepherds are highly intelligent and highly energetic. That makes them great at doing things like agility with the proper training. Proper training, exercise, and jobs are… Read More

Australian Cattle Dogs are such cool looking dogs. They seem to have just a unique blend of characteristics. Thick medium length fur. An awesome speckled to merle coloration. But it seems to only come in two varieties that I have seen. The blue merle like color pictured below and a red color. They have pointy attentive ears. A thick rounded snout. And at the other end a pretty unique looking tail. A… Read More
