Up and Over

Thanks to the Youngesville Agility Club for inviting us to shoot their trials last weekend. We apologize for having to take our tent down on Sunday. Things just got a bit (OK a lot) windy. That all said, we got some great pictures from some super runs. Here is one of Michelle's Cree doing a quick up and over of the A frame. We're off to the South Pacific to do some underwater work for the next couple of weeks. See you all back at Teamworks in a couple of weeks.

PBVG On The Go!

Thanks to the Star City Agility Club for having us at their trials last weekend. It was a really nice venue and the club did a terrific job of getting it organized and running smoothly throughout the weekend. A good time was had by all as you can see by this great little PBVG on a tear!

A Whole Lota Jumping Going On

Thanks to the Blue Ridge Agility Club for having us last weekend. Would you believe I shot 9000 pictures! There was a whole lot of jumping going on in a superb facility. Thanks again and check out the web pictures if you haven't already.

Wintery NC

Well, let's hope this was the last blast before a "dry" and warm spring. I'm already over winter. See you at the Fletcher trials this weekend - inside!

Xmas Landing

Karen and I had a chance to get down to Hatteras for the holidays. Here is one from Christmas day. The snow geese migrate through here this time of year. A great time to get pictures. Looking forward to seeing you all in the New Year.

Happy Holidays!

Well, as usual the DKC Obedience trials was our last trial of the year and marks the end of a busy season for us. Karen and I thank all the clubs that we have had the privilege of working with this year. Looking forward to a great 2009 and we wish everyone a Happy Holiday season!

Herding at Breezy Hill

Well it definitely was breezy on Breezy Hill. We were at the Collie Club of America Eastern Regionals in Gladys VA last weekend. Thanks to Roy Johnson for hosting the event. We had a great time even though it was mighty cold and windy on Saturday. That didn't seem to bother the dogs though. We had some great runs.

Leap of Faith

Now here is a real leap of faith. Helped out by that great pair of wings. Fine weather at the Gloucester Agility Club trials last weekend. Thanks for inviting us to shoot and thanks to Nelson and Emily for hosting the event.

Muddy But Fun!

Well it was a bit of a mud fest at the DKC Agility Trials last weekend. Fortunately it didn't rain much during the trials and once the dogs got their footing the Q's started to happen. The dogs had a super, albeit somewhat mucky, time. Here is a little Lowchen having a great run. Thanks to the club for putting on a super weekend in pretty trying conditions.

Hot!!!

Well it was hot enough for a fire engine dog this weekend. At least we didn't have 6.5 inches of rain like we did in Leesburg the week before. Thanks to the Warrenton and PVBSC clubs for having us and putting on a great trial at a wonderful venue.

Last Fish Pic For Awhile

Back from our Little Cayman trip and all ready to get back into the dog world. Just one more fish picture before we get going again. Here is one of a Caribbean Reef shark just down from the site I took the previous picture at last year.

Headed off to the Caymans for a little R & R. Hope we run into a few more of these guys this time. A shot of a Caribbean Reef Shark at Mixing Bowl in Little Cayman's Bloody Bay Wall.

More Wine Than Dogs

A little break from shooting this weekend. Karen had an obedience trial with Spinner in Berryville VA. We went up and did a little wine tasting at the Tarara Winery's Blackberry festival and walked around the National Historic Park in Old Town. A great weekend. Here is a picture from inside the cave where they age the barrel wines at Tarara.

Weekend Splash

Had a great time this weekend at the annual Movers and Shakers PWD trials. A lot of super runs. Here is a shot of Pam's pup Chase during the Courier class on Sunday. Whow! Now that's going for it!

Arwin Wins The Flag

Congratulations to Sarah Keffer. She won the flag draw at our booth last weekend. Looks like Arwen will be flying high over their house soon.

Bubba Does Good!

For of all you who know Cass's dog Bubba. She has done some great things with him lately. Here is a shot of him having a fine run at the Concord Agility trials last weekend. Wow five days of shooting counting the matches on Wednesday! Thanks to the Greater Monroe and Danville Kennel clubs for inviting us to shoot and putting on a terrific event.

Wet But Cool

It was a hot weekend at DOTC but the dogs stayed wet and cool. This little Schnauzer had a big time with a good soaking before his run! We're inside next weekend at Concord. See you all there!

Back At It

Well after a couple of weeks off we're back in Roanoke this weekend for the Star City agility trials. See you there!

Cheers

Ian

Time Off

A little time off from agility. A shot of an old homestead nearby. Don't forget to ask for permission. I got scooted off the property by an angry property owner. At least he claimed to own the property and I wasn't in a position to argue:-)

A Frame Air

Gina, catching a little air on the A Frame at Roanoke last weekend. A great time was had by all! Thanks to the Roanoke Kennel Club for having us. A little break for Karen and I coming up. See you all at Star City!
