2011, Day 226 - Leap of faith

Tonight I share with you some of the photos from yesterday's Dock Dogs competition.  Most of the competitors are water-loving sporting breed like labs but there was a German shepherd, a German short-haired pointer and a couple whippets.  Each dog jumps differently which makes photographing the competition difficult; some jump high others will jump straight out and still more just seem to fall into the water below.  After their run each dog is so excited with their performance it doesn't matter if the jumped a measly seven feet or an amazing twenty-four feet, all the dogs are pleased that they got to play.
