A Phenominal Agility Photo

This photo of Gorgeous was taken at the Central Regional a few weekends ago. She looks like a torpedo going straight into the Tire! Pretty cool shot!

Here's a few more from that weekend...

Handsome

I am grateful ever time I get to step up to the line (or post) with this dog named Gorgeous. I am blessed not only with one great dog, but two!

WeeeeeEEEEeee!

Lake Lavon with the pups!

The pups and I ready to have fun in the sun! The water level is getting pretty low and there is no sign for rain anytime soon. :-(

Today's Pup Portrait!

Okay everyone! All together now...

"Sittin' in the morning sun
I'll be sittin' when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then I watch them roll away again, yeah

I'm sittin' on the dock of the... (oh crap... where did the bay go?)

They don't call me Happy Hands for nothing!

USDAA Central Regional Championship

I had the best time with my dogs. Handsome did really well and Gorgie had some great moments. Below is our video diary of the whole weekend. I put parts of both dogs for each run.

What a good boy Handsome!

The weather wasn't too shabby either!

Ready to rock in this arena!

Video of Handsome Working Ducks!

I'm so proud of my dog Handsome! He can work ducks! Now we have another option to gather points for his championship in herding. Here's a short clip from today's training. I wished it wasn't so hot out, so we would have more time. Ducks got tired quick!

The first time Handsome went in with the ducks he didn't even see them. At one point he walked over them. He kept looking for the sheep in the other arenas. The next weekend, I tried again twice and he was getting hooked, but still looking for the sheep. This weekend... hooked!
