More action shots: Play day #2, snow!, and Cenau weaves
Second play day at my current training group, and a snowy day in the
backyard...As usual, these are public links which don't require a FB account. (maybe this time the thread will manage to be about dogs and photography, rather than personal attacks & political fights... but I ain't holding my breath.) Entire album (47 pictures) - some interesting shots of dog interaction; the dogs are pretty much left to their own devices at the play days. Color values are a bit odd on some; something about it being a cloudy day threw things off. As a side note, there are usually 2-4 intact males at these play days, and it's never an issue. (Point of note: in a FaceBook album you can simply click anywhere in the picture, and it goes to the next one.) http://www.new.facebook.com/album.ph...997289&l=c88d6 Selected photos: Cenau plays with Panzer, who is BC x ??? (guesses welcome G) http://www.new.facebook.com/photo.ph...4&id=546997289 http://www.new.facebook.com/photo.ph...4&id=546997289 More photographic proof that the DSG isn't exclusive to sighthounds...this pic also gives an idea of Cen's size (or lack thereof) since he's right next to a tunnel: http://www.new.facebook.com/photo.ph...0&id=546997289 Cen "drives" his prey (aka his buddy Titan, who weighs around 60 lbs): http://www.new.facebook.com/photo.ph...7&id=546997289 Cenau thinks he's still a stud... and Pierce (the GSP in the rear) is confused (Pierce, who is intact, has a THING for Cen). http://www.new.facebook.com/photo.ph...c&id=546997289 http://www.new.facebook.com/photo.ph...a&id=546997289 Snowy-faced Brenin... most of the "snow" is from the years: http://www.new.facebook.com/photo.ph...e&id=546997289 Cenau says WAHOO! SNOW! http://www.new.facebook.com/photo.ph...0&id=546997289 Cen & Bren do zoomies & playfight together. Bren's wide-open mouth is baying, btw. (Note he's got his teeth covered) I remain bemused, incidentally, at the fact that Brenin LIKES Cenau better than any other dog he's lived with. http://www.new.facebook.com/photo.ph...0&id=546997289 http://www.new.facebook.com/photo.ph...5&id=546997289 http://www.new.facebook.com/photo.ph...4&id=546997289 Cenau does weaves: If you look at this in the album, there's an action sequence of about 7 shots; the "click for next picture" thing only workes in there. Note there's only one guide wire on. He doesn't need the wires much anymore, but periodically I put them on the middle poles so we can do speed work with minimal complications. http://www.new.facebook.com/photo.ph...0&id=546997289 http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pi...b&id=546997289 http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pi...1&id=546997289 Treat please! (Cen tries out his latest trick.) http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pi...8&id=546997289 And finally, Gwydion's thoughts on snowy days with temps in the 'teens: http://www.new.facebook.com/photo.ph...d&id=546997289 |

A weave obstacle course. Guess he won't ever have trouble weaving in dirt, though I will mention a weird Min Pin thing; white bases on dark flooring tends to be really distracting for Zipper. Treat please! (Cen tries out his latest trick.) http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pi...8&id=546997289 Yep, that's a Pinhead, though he doesn't *quite* have the Pin body. I can tell you're enjoying him. I never thought I'd be as crazy about a little dog as I am. |

With a little dog, it doesn't look like you need wires at all once the path has been worn into the snow. -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |

Guess he won't ever have trouble weaving in dirt The snow was very light and fluffy - not much of an obstacle, actually. though I will mention a weird Min Pin thing; white bases on dark flooring tends to be really distracting for Zipper. Hum. We may get to test that before long; his first trial will be at an indoor soccer arena with relatively dark astroturf. Yep, that's a Pinhead, though he doesn't *quite* have the Pin body. Yup. The Pin predominates in both looks and personality, although there are quite a few things that spell JRT as well. I can tell you're enjoying him. What was your first clue? G More seriously, yeah, I am. He's a lot of fun to work with, and he's got a lovely temperament. It's been very satisfying teaching him how to learn... and now that he's learning, he's so much fun to teach! I never thought I'd be as crazy about a little dog as I am. Thing about the terriers (and as far as I'm concerned, Pins ARE terriers) is they're small in body only. |

I was thinking as I was looking at the pictures that Cen has no idea that he's just a little guy! FurPaw -- Don't believe everything that you think. To reply, unleash the dog. |

It'll be a pocket dog, much like Zipper or Cen. I'm thinking Chihuahua. My only caution is that Chihuahuas really *are* tiny. At least if you get a well-bred one. Many barely make 3# and even jumping 4" is a real stretch for some. And because they're tiny they have some extra health issues. Don't get me wrong, I think they're super little dogs, but I'm not sure I'd pick one for an agility prospect. |
