This dog was looking at her owner to find out what to do next. Agility is a team sport. It’s both the person and the dog that runs the agility course.
Every course is different, so the organizer shows the people (no dog allowed) the order of the course, which obstacles to go through and the order of these obstacles.
I’ve never seen such a big Kong. It’s ginormous. I’ve never seen a Kong that big at my local pet supplies stores. The owner of the Pit Bull was taking the Kong and throwing it like throwing a hammer at the Olympics. He would spin to gather momentum and release the Kong. Not once did he hit somebody.
The Boxer had been stealing balls and toys from other dogs. Now he wanted to steal the Kong from the other dog. This Pit Bull wasn’t going to let it happen.
I have a soft spot for the Dachshunds, aka the sausages (that’s what I call them). I’m not the only one to call them this way. The more common Dachshund’s nickname is the ‘wiener dog’. The big ears and the eyes…
The electrician was putting new electrical wiring and an alarm system in a new brand new house. He was there for over a week. He had two dogs that he kept in his van. The van’s backdoor staid open the whole day. Every hour or so, he said that he comes and checks on them that is unless I pass by and takes some photos…
This is my dog, Dodoïte (pronounced: Dodo ïte). He’s happy. This is one of his favorite walk: Ambleside Park in West Vancouver, BC. He loves running around and sniffing the other dogs.
He hates the city. The city scares him. All the sharp noises, the people, the cars, the big trucks, the planes overhead, the constructions, the sudden moves… Everything scares him. He hates the rain, he hates the wind. Just yesterday a tree “attacked” him. He was in the middle of his pee and the tree moved to attack him. He clamped it and he didn’t have another pee for the rest of the day until this morning.
This Saluki was born in Afghanistan, he’s not very happy in Canada, the weather’s not very warm, so whenever he comes to the beach, he lays in the warm sand and soaks the sun.
The guy said, that it was a street dog and his wife, working as part of an NGO in Afghanistan, brought him to Canada.
Beagles are terrible dogs for agility racing. Beagles are kind of agile dog, but they are not dogs. Beagles are noses on 4 wheels legs. So even during agility races, the only thing a beagle is really interested is sniffing and tracking some smell.
Whippets are born to run.
Whippets used to be the runt of the litter of the Greyhounds. The nobility would order the “peons” to kill them. The “peons” almost rebelled and decided to keep them. Then the “peons” bred them together because they had such a good character and were excellent runners. They don’t eat much, they don’t take too much space and they are very happy laying on the couch or laying by the fire most of the day.
Harley is a boxer mix. He loves chasing the ball. The problem is that his favorite park is an on-leash park only, and the park is not far from city hall, so his owners have to dodge the city employees. Harley’s owners already had a couple of tickets from the city-hall employees.
Bela is a 6 month old English Bulldog. She runs. She jumps (kind of). She bulldozes everything on her way. She will be the queen of destruction when she’ll grow up. For my benefit, she just shewed on an expensive leather couch and attacked a couple of toes, luckily not mine.
