Day 1:
I took Jasper out to the dock today and we had a blast! He doesn't like the water but there were a lot of hyped up dogs for him to play with and lots of people to pet him, so he was happy!! We watched two heats of the competition, as well as an open period where anyone who has a water-loving pooch can bring their dog out to jump. It was HOT today, and some of the dogs did not want to get out of the water, so there were kiddy pools set up for splashing around it too. I took a lot of pictures, I'll share some of my favorites here...I got a lot better at timing my pictures after a few hours, the first half of the pictures were mostly of the empty dock!

Jasper smiling for the camera! He's my handsome dude!

Speaking of big air...

There were more labbies than any other breed at the event!

Malinois were the second most popular breed at the event.

Some of the dogs were reluctant to make the big leap.

Most of them didn't hesitate though!

This Weimeraner, Molly, had never jumped before today!

Pit bulls are GOOD at this sport!

This little Jack Russell came to a screeching halt at the end of the dock and then leaped straight into the air from a standstill every time! He needs to be there for the vertical jumps tomorrow!

Banzai!!!

He was my favorite jumper of the day.

If the dog isn't a strong swimmer they get a life vest.

This little girl's dog was one of the only dogs who could hold a sit-stay long enough for the handler to get to the end of the dock. He was an impressive athlete too!

The English Springer Duffy had some awesome jumps!

If only I had the energy to keep up with a Mal...

There are a lot more pictures in the album here: http://s206.photobucket.com/albums/bb152/cebogart/Las Vegas Dock Dogs/
 
Great pics! I love watching dock dogs on tv. I wish they came up this way, I like Nanci would love to go see a competition in real life.
 
I think I would like to see that live, too. I love the way that the dogs look when they're "maxing out", trying their hardest to get the bait.
 
Great shots; looks like a grand time was had by all!

I have a terrier who has too much energy, but I don't know how he likes the water. I'd love to get him into agility or dock jumping to help him burn off some fat and energy!

I'm glad you guys enjoyed the pictures! It's the ideal sport for 110 degree summers I have to say...keeps the pupsters from getting too hot!
