Dock Diving Pictures - Page 1

Tried out dock diving this weekend - had lots of fun.  Our longest jump was 13 feet - the first place jump in the amateur class was 18 feet (yellow lab).  There were a couple Border Collies and one Mal other then that all sporting/hunting dogs. 

OMG--too funny! That looks like super fun! I love that 'running as I land' style dive! Perfect sport for this weather! jackie harris

Yes, its the perfect hot summer day sport! Here are a few more.

Great action shots!! Looks like alot of fun..

wow that is pretty cool....great shots...

Very neat!!!  Great pics as well..beautiful and focused dog!!!  Thank you for sharing the photos and your experience!  It's always nice to see things like this and the pics really do make one smile!!

Wow! thats awesome! I wish I could find a place around here to take my dog. He would love it! I used to take him to the local lake and let him dive off the boat landing, until a park ranger ruined the fun!




 

Thanks - we had a great time.  Here is a link to the venue that travels around and puts on these events.

At this event they only had the SRS super dock not the SRS super V (vertical jump).  If you show up with a GSD tell them Summer & Manny sent you

It was the best deal in dog sports ever - only $10 paid our entry for Saturday and got us as many practice jumps as we wanted fri, sat and sunday.  Since we qualified for finals with our 13 foot jump on Saturday we compeated again on Sunday.  It was so fun - also observed in the Pro division some of these folks take this sport very serious, just a serioues as any other competive sport really... Pretty cool

And one more, this looks like it could be an ad for Eukanuba tee hee....

That's awesome!!! It does look like A LOT of fun!!! Were they shocked to see you show up w a GSD? Just shows how versatile these guys are they love doing just about anything as long as you are there with them!!

Yes, there were some surprised faces when they saw us on the dock, but the other dock divers were very friendly and there were some "other" non-hunting breeds jumping.  Plus the announcer mentioned several times about the world record (29 feet) being held by a Mal. 

There was a water fowl expo going on at the same time so I'm sure some of the old hunters might have seen us up there and thought "WTH is that dumb blonde doing up there with a Sheppard "(intentional mis-spell, LOL) but its all good! 

I'm very happy to have been able to have shown our beloved breed in a positive and versatile light.  While we were waiting in line to jump Manny was giving out kisses and being his usual goofy and affectionate self.  Maybe one of the best or most unexpected complements was from one of the handlers in the Pro division who said I should take him duck hunting some time.  I personally have never done that but who knows maybe I can loan him out to someone I trust who does.... LOL
