Flyball, Camping and goodfriends.. *14 Pics*

I have been contemplating posting these for a little while now and have decided to share them with you all. The last couple of weeks have been fun for both dogs and hoomans, we have been off camping for a Flyball competition, and went to the beach with the "Oppersition" teams :eek:.

Elvis did wonderful in his first day of "Class 3" Obedience last Sunday, we did offlead stays and an offlead recall.... And he did great and did not break the stays once and came strait to me when i called him for the recall :D.

Now for the big news... I have him entered into his first ever Flyball competition in 3 weeks time *Happy dance*. The last couple of weeks in training he has just clicked and is now focused on kicking the other dogs butt in the other lane than chasing it lol. We still have a few weeks to work on him some more but i am confident he will do ok, he will probably only do warm ups for the day unless he is being a good boy.

I think i have rambled for long enough :o.

Pics coming...

Awww.....

Thats all for now, hope you enjoyed.

Great pictures! That ocean run-fest looked like a blast for the dogs!

Elvis looks so much like Buddy Blaze Lover's blaze. Great pics :D and what is flyball:o

Bump :(

Man that looks like fun! I'm not sure Oggy would have the patience, the thought of running with all the other puppies would be too much excitement!
Looks a great place to take dogs, where abouts on the coast were you?

Great pictures! All those dogs were just let loose to run in the water? I don't think Riley would come back.. haha.

Elvis is soooo handsome (so are the other BC's I've seen on here), I think I might even look into getting one when I'm on my own, but I've heard that since they are so smart they are really stubborn and bullheaded when it comes to training.. is that true? (I know all dogs are different.... like labs usually aren't stubborn but Riley REALLY is.)

Great pictures! I love the one of all the dogs running in the water...that looks like fun! The closeups of Clover and Elvis are great too!

What fantastic pictures! I loved them ALL!
Clover looks so great doing her thing! :D I also just love that close-up of her eyes! *be still my heart*
And ELVIS! You are just excelling in your Level 3 Class, huh? What a GOOD BOY! :D *scratch pet pet* I know you are making your Mommy very very proud! Your close-up tugs at my heartstrings as well...how could anyone ever say 'no' to that face??? Not me, Nope, Never!

Thanks for sharing these, Rhi! :) Next time...nix the contemplating, eh? :p

Looks like so much fun!! I would have loved to have been there. I loved all the dogs in the water. That just looks so cool.

Thanks for posting these pics. I really enjoyed them!

Congrats to Elvis and Clover both! They seem like such great pups!

Robin :)

so much fun for the dogs and I bet so much fun for the humans too :D

Thess are such great pictures. The dogs look so happy! The beach looks BEAUTIFUL!

I just LOVE your Elvis! He he, his ears are adorable! What a cutie pie. Clover is one gorgeous girl.. it's about time we saw some new pictures from you, Rhi!

Gizmo looks like such a sweetheart! Did he really like going in the water? Molly thinks he's nuts. ;)

Awesome pictures! :D

Your dogs look amazing. Glad to see Elvis has figured out the concept now.

luvofallhorses, flyball is a dog sport where they have teams that clubs form. They have competitions where dogs run over a serious of small hurdles to get to a box where they do a "swimmers turn" and retrieve their ball and run back over. The team with the least amount of faults and time wins. :) Hope that helped. We wanted to get Lexi into it.

Great pics of all of the dogs and of course of your too cuties! ;) Looks like it was a good time for all of the pups! :)
