This was the first time I’ve ever seen a Bearded Collie dock diving!  The flying fur was amazingly fun to photograph!

I love this man’s shirt … “I was normal until my first Chessie”.  I think all pet owners can relate.  I need a t-shirt that says, “I was normal until my first Siamese!”  🙂

Here’s a fun series of images from the Extreme Vertical competition with Keystone Dock Dogs at Codorus Blast 2017.

Wishing you a happy July 4th!  Stay safe and remember that some pets are afraid of loud noises like fireworks so please be considerate.

This is English Springer Spaniel, “Duck” making his first jump into the pool at the Keystone Dock Dogs event at Steel Stacks in Bethlehem, PA several weeks ago.  It took a lot of encouragement from the handler to convince Duck to take a leap into the water.  The crowd was cheering him on, but on the first several attempts, time expired and he never got wet.  The dogs have one minute of time between when they set foot on the dock until they are in motion.  You can see the huge smile on the handler’s face as Duck finally decides that he’ll jump into the pool!  Hooray Duck!!  Fast forward a couple weeks to Codorus Blast and Duck jumped 13′ 11″ in the Big Air finals for Juniors at Lake Marburg.  Duck is SO adorable!
