I know its been 2 weeks, but I have a few more pictures I thought I'd post.

So this A-Frame is near the end of an Open Standard course. After the A-Frame we just have to clear 3 simple jumps. Up to this point in the run everything has been faultless. Can you imagine the only thought that is racing through my head?
Get that contact!

Ok, this looks good, you could get it...

Don't you even think about launching.

I don't have a picture to prove it, but she nailed this contact and the 3 jumps that followed. Which earned her an open standard leg and a first place finish. I was so proud I called her 'First Place Dog' for a week :)


Here, Gail is doing a great job of keeping Tanner focused. That red tunnel dumped right to the edge of the ring where a small group of spectators were sitting. It was tough to convince the dogs that heading off to the weave poles was more important than stopping to say hello, :rolleyes:

Tanner, showing he has no problem with Teeter contacts.

Oops, overshot it, but I can get up from this side too!

Here's Tanners Last Novice Standard Jump. This run earned him a first place and his Novice Standard Title.

At the end of the day we had a mini-labfest, complete with 3LabLady. Here's us forcing the dogs to sit near each other.

You can make me sit by him/her, but I'm not going to look at him/her. :rolleyes:

This one is better:

BTW, if anyone wants a comparison picture of 2 styles of labs here it is. Tanner has very classic show lines with lots of champions in his pedigree and Sinopah is all field lab with no champions in her pedigree; however her great-grand-father is the only chocolate to ever win the National Hunt Title. I would like to note that both are successful in agility :P.

:clap: Great pictures, Jason! You could seriously put the agility photographers out of business! I love the mid-air shots of Tanner...even if he is going waaayyy to fast onto the table. :rolleyes: (At least he's grown out of butt-tucking around the table.)

Does Sinopah have another trial coming up? I know you said your summer was busy.


Thanks for sharing the pictures! It was great to meet you and your wife along with Sinopah, of course! It was also fun to have Barb and her husband cheering for us along from ring side. They were the best of spectators!

Great pics, Jason. Can never get enough of those great shots. It was great meeting you and your wife, and Gail and her friend Kathleen, and of cours Sinopah and Tanner. Looking forward to going to the next events, let us know when you have another one coming up.

Great pictures Jason!!! I love watching your girl in action. She really nails her moves doesn't she. Those mid air shots of Tanner jumping are incredible. I know I've asked you this before, but what kind of camera are you using. I'm looking into another one and want to really check it out before I buy again. I love the shot of Sinopah and Tanner side by side. Beatiful labs!!!
