Bwhip --Well done. Beautiful shots. I can't even imagine where you were standing. Those pups have serious dock dog potential.

Thanks. They love the water, especially Joy. For that series of shots, I actually climbed into the pond (VERY carefully!) with a rain cover on my 1D MKIII (for splashes), and my wife would throw the "bumper" right over my head so Joy would fly by while I shot.

It's not easy to be super-accurate throwing those bumpers (attached to a rope which you sling around). One time, as my toes were sinking into the gooey algae in the pond, she threw the bumper and I heard her shout "Oh crap!" I knew I'd better duck in a hurry, as it was coming right at me! We had a little chat about her being more careful after that, as I really didn't want to go flying into the water with that (or any) camera.

The things we do for Golden Retriever art!

bwhip - those are amazing shots. I'd bet a dummy launcher would really seal the deal for some great shots.

Great shots everyone. I do think that it is hard to take a bad shot of a Golden. Here is our "little girl" Mika.

My Golden quasi chow mix. he's got a spotted purple tongue and that's pretty much it.

Billee's been shaved recently so he kindda looks like a lab.
