AGILITY PHOTOS

Because of my interest in building and adding to this website, I have found myself developing amateur photography skills.  These are some photos that I want to share, but they do not have a place elsewhere in the website. Some of these photos have been added to this collection. It shows the great variety of dogs that do great things and have lots of fun at agility. Some dogs are very photogenic, and so have a collection dedicated to them. If the dog's name is highlighted, then click on it to see the full collection. These photos are in low resolution, suitable for viewing on this website. If you would like a copy suitable for printing, then please contact me. Check the <<CFS shop>> for the current prices. Any publication of these photos is allowed, but only if credit is given to Canine Fun Sports, and a link, or a reference, to this website is included.

Photos have been classified into groups so you can find any one dog more easily. For ease of classification, I have based this on the Australian National Kennel Control's classification of recognised breeds. There is no prejudice intended. Associate Registered dogs are broken down into height categories to make them easier to sort through.

RECENTLY TAKEN PHOTOS
Below, you will find low resolution photos (not suitable for printing) of all the shots I have taken, at the trials I have been to recently. These photos are only up for a short period then they are removed from the website (the website can only grow so big.) Some of the pictures may make it into their breed section or I keep them on file. Look below to see if I have taken photos of your dog at recent trials.

TO PURCHASE PHOTOS: All photos I have taken are available to be purchased. If you cannot find any shots of your dog on the website, then please contact me to find out what I have on file. Photos are for sale at a very reasonable price.

Port Macquarie - Hastings Kennel and Training Club
Seemed as though the judges did not consider the lighting at all when they set up their courses, so the spectacular action shots, with the beautiful blue sky and pine trees in the background were more difficult to get. I did enjoy getting the opportunity to take some shots of my own dogs when Virginia and Maggie handled Rabbit and Sparkle in one of the master jumping runs. Thanks, guys. I don't know what Gin said to Rabbit as she came out of the tunnel but it had her ears standing on end!   (8 pages)

  Coffs Harbour September 2009
I am still getting used to the new camera, so not all the exposures are quite right. There were also a lot of dark dogs on dark backgrounds. That is hard to avoid. But I have quite a few shots of dogs that I have not captured before, including my first shots of a Lhasa Apso and two Irish Terriers from Queensland. Add to that shots of the first West Highland White Terrier that I have seen at a trial (I have some at training). That alone made it a good weekend to take photos. (10 pages)

Armidale October 2009 
This is the Saturday, only, because I was judging all day Sunday (8 pages)

  Springwood October 2009
Not as many shots from this trial - just some from the RQH. (3 pages). Once again, I was busy judging for the rest of the day.

 Agility Dog Club of NSW  October 2009
I would like to thank Margaret Taylor for taking a couple of shots of my "Murphy" while I was handling her in open jumping. It was not a successful run, but she looked good doing it!  (6 pages)

Brush Farm October 2009
A trial with variable weather. If you look closely at some of the shots of the chute tunnel, you will see water spraying off. It was fun watching for the dog that put up the most spray. (4 pages)

Greater Western (Bathurst) November 2009 
I tried to organise a photo with Mount Panorama in the background, but I just could not get the angle right. (9 pages)

Child Handlers at Greater Western (Bathurst) November 2009
The kids had a lot of fun, and I think the adults did too. Nice to see Alex Szmelter starting so young.

  Spring Fair November 2009
Our last weekend trial of the year. Luckily a cool breeze kept things from being too hot in the afternoon. (4 pages)

 

You will also find representatives of these breeds in the CFS brags section. It is also true that many of the dogs in this section have done some of their training with us at some time, whether it is by attending a camp or two, they have occasional lessons with us or they have trained with us in the past. The dogs in the CFS brags section have done a lot of their training with us.
