Big Air!

1738KDD2016

The Keystone Dock Dogs competition at Codorous Blast was awesome!  There were so many high flying dogs that achieved personal best scores this weekend!  I watched the Big Air competition which is the long jump for canines.  Dog and handler start from a 40 foot dock.  The handler throws a toy into the water and the dog runs as fast as 20 mph and jumps into the water to retrieve the toy.  The current world record is 28’10”.  I don’t know if the record was broken, but I saw some dogs jumping in the 22′ – 24′ range.  The distance is measured from the end of the dock to the where the base of the dog’s tail breaks the water.  So much fun to watch and oh so challenging to photograph!!
