Everyone has their eye on the toy!  This is Tara from Team Blackout launching from the dock at Steel Stacks last weekend.  Tara is wearing a Super Fly suit embroidered with her name!  I must say, all of the dogs wearing Super Fly suits looked adorable and helped me to distinguish one from the other.  Having their name embroidered on the side was even better!  I love this photo!

I spent the weekend photographing the Keystone Dock Dogs at Steel Stacks in Bethlehem, Pa.  What a fun time for all, but most especially for the dogs who obviously LOVE dock diving!  I will share some favorite images and stories to go along with them.  I’m a novice at dock dog photography and I still struggle with focus and keeping up with these fast moving dogs!  Most of my “splash” images are all water and no dog, but this one I just love!  The pup just landed in the pool and is still focused on trying to catch the ball!  Pure drive and determination!  Oh and those ears!!!!

Here’s another fun image from the weekend dock diving event at Westwind Kennel.  This was just after the toy was tossed and the dog is launching from the dock.  Both dog and handler are focused on the toy which is in the air and out of frame. These dogs are amazing athletes and so much fun to watch!
