For those of you that love photos here are some of different dogs taking hurdles at our last agility event, I was working as jump setter so as the dogs ran I took some photos. This was a jumpers course. I really do not have the right camera lens for great photos of dogs doing this but for what I do have these are ok and it is fun to see the different style of each dogs jump and to see the different dogs that are out there having fun. So Jump, jump, jump..... Enjoy

Great photos, thanks!
How surprising- the majority look like herding dogs or herder mixes.
My Corgi/Border Collie twins had an agility class once at Camp Gone to the Dogs in Vermont. I still have a couple of photos of them on their first tries with those little fat legs. Love those herders.

whether you have the right lens or not, those are some great shots! Thanks for sharing!
All my trials have been indoors, so far, so my best lens for indoor shots is my 50 mm. I end up having to crop the heck out of my shots to focus in on the subject. Here's one of me from last Sunday...

Pretty Aussie! Around here agility tends to be an outdoor sport which can be good and bad as on hot days the equipment does get hot and in the early morning the grass is wet from dew so equipment is slippery and this last time was windy so we had to stake the hurdles with wings down or they blew over which makes course building take longer. But on a beautiful day it is great being out doors with your dog(s). The park we used for the last one where I took the photos is beautiful. I will post a photos of it. Nice place to spend 2 days outdoors!
