Xtreme Canine Sport - Agility *

Cobourg, Ontario, Canada

Yes, another dog shot. Much of my life revolves around dogs so I'm afraid you're stuck with it.

This shot was taken today at a Canadian Kennel Club Agility Trial held in Belleville, Ontario, Canada. Most of the dogs involved in agility always look to be Xtremely happy and having an Xtremely good time. This little guy looked particularly so.

Thank you Traveller, Nico and Michael. I appreciate your comments. These agility trials are a lot of fun and I had a great time photographing these dogs going over jumps, through hoops, over 'A' frames, teeter totters etc..

The dogs were all having a ton of fun and you can't help getting caught up in it if you're there. My wife and I were actually getting ready to leave for the day when I decided it was too good an opportunity for some photos to pass it up so I went back to the car to get my gear and take some shots.

Thanks for a superb photograph, IMHO. I appreciated the detailed exif comments, so that I could figure out how to got such a sharply in-focus shot. He looks so delighted to be able to show off his skills. Well done! ~jnconradie

I don't much like dog or cat shots, Harvey, but this is very good. If it even interests someone like me...so to draw my attention and think that this is both good and of interest, I think that you've accomplished your purpose as a photographer very well.
Great Capture! Best Wishes, Traveller
