Here's something a bit different than baseball or football. Whereas they are not people (to some of us), they are athletes just the same.

    3 is fantastic. 1 has nice action but eyes just aren't as sharp as 3 (1 appears a bit back-focused). Nice job!

    Awesome. thumb.gif I really like number two here, knowing just how hard it is to photograph a dog when they're weaving and without the focus locking on the weave poles. The other two shota re great as well, though. :)

    As CookieS posted, it's a Bernese. The woman who handles it actually has 2. Her other Bernese "Tonka" barks throughout the whole course. It's fun to watch.

    The first shot, the doberman, is our 22 month old girl "Spy".

    My dad and his wife raise Berneese mountain dogs for show, they are huge, I'm surprised they can get off the ground for a hurdle.
    great shots all of them I'd say #1 is my favorite.

    WOW! Lovely shots, esp #3. I like the idea of #2 and would keep trying for the 'ultimate' that has both eyes/ears in view.

    Is #3 a berneese or is it (since it looks alot like one) a St. Bernard x Akita?
    Beautiful creature non the less. I know my St. Bernard/Akita/Pyr/Lab couldn't manage agility!!!
    Even his tail is a danger to things around him!
