Dock Dogs came to our annual wildlife expo this weekend and I was finally able to get a few pics today at the finals. The crowds have been huge all weekend, so I had to make sure I got there way before it started today in able to get a spot up front. I still had some rude people around me unfortunately, so my picture taking was still limited. Then they left, and of course about 2 minutes later my camera battery died.

I thought it was fully charged...that'll teach me to think and not check lol. But anyway, I don't have many decent pics, but will post the ones I have anyway.

And good news...they have already been invited back next year, and if all goes as planned....................Jake and I will be competing!

Anyway, here are some pics...enjoy.

I missed this girl's jump (with the camera), but she was a darn good jumping labradoodle lol!

Apparently this guy thought his dog needed a better view...

Random jumps...

This girl was the smallest one out there, and let me tell you, she could show up some of those bigger dogs!

So yeah, this dog pretty much surprised everyone with this jump!!!

This dog was ADORABLE!!! He had his own little pre-jump routine...as soon as they walked onto the dock, he ran all the way down to the end and just stood there, looking out over the pool like he was seriously focusing and planning his jump. Then when he was ready, he'd run back down to the beginning of the dock to his owner and wait for him to throw lol. It was the cutest thing I've ever seen.

And it sure worked for him!!!

Alright, that's all I have. Can't wait for next year!!!

Those are great, Ash!!

Funny how there was a huge crowd in Florida, lol...the only crowd in Vegas were Lisa's and my posse...there were 6 of us

(OK, so there were a few more people there, probably around 20 total, definitely not very many, lol)

MyHunter · 02-17-2008, 04:54 PM

He totally caught me off guard lol!

I love the one of the guy holding his lab. Nothing like labby-love pictures, and since I know how heavy MY dogs are, holding his dog up is definitly a show of love. They looked sweet together!

great pics! I wish you were there to get Jubilee this weekend. I hardly have a good one of her
