Thanks Richard.
It really was a blast, and you're right - I'd estimate 90%+ of the handlers were ladies.
I've shot several agility competitions, both indoor and outdoor but this was the first one that included Frisbee and that really added a new & fun dimension.

I was invited back for another one later this mount - can't wait!

Here's a few smaller dogs - Prairie Dogs. These were shot in DX Mode and not cropped in post.

I'd imagine they would be fascinating creatures to watch
Very nice photos of them

They are incredibly cute and fun to watch. When they run, they look like puppies that have just figured out how to get around.

More dogs, after Z9 FW 3.01 update.

Thank you very much, Richard. I just love photographing dogs.

This is an example of a "throw, gone wrong". You can see it on the handlers face immediately...
