Misty in our front yard. Not one of my better shots.

My doggies, being trained by my wife, and Zuni's breeder who's visiting us. (Zuni is the Aussie)


EXIF available on Flickr, but they're all 85mm f/1.8 on a T1i @ about f/4, ISO 400-1600.

David, these are SUPERB! And I want your dog!


My lap dog loves agility so I am going to use your photo to show someone & see if they will build this for me. I looked them up when my dog was taking classes and they are expensive as heck to buy already made!

Thanks Denise, but you can

Hi Denise,





Here's a link to what Dave is trying to describe:http://www.caninecrib.com/dog/training/standard-jump.asp


You can find lots of other cheap and easy ideas on the web if you google for home-made agility equipment or pvc agility if you choose to use pvc pipes to make it.





In order to keep this post true to the topic I'm adding a photo of our crazy Zuni over a home-made jump set at a "baby" height. ;-)

Thank you David & Madga for the link! I printed it out and will be putting someone to work on it soon!


My little lap dog is a puppy mill survivor and was pretty much afraid of his own shadow when he was a pup. The only time he came out of his shell was during agility classes! So Sammy & I thank you very much!

[DavidEccleston]

Kudos to you for taking in a little survivor Denise! Our first two dogs were rescues with all sorts of issues and agility was their only happy time, too. We were never particularly successful but we sure enjoyed playing together. ;-)


Good luck to you and Sammy! :-)

Great series Dave and Magda, love the action shots, Zuni looks like a agility champion in the making.

My gf's sister's dog. Normally I really hate little dogs (this guy's body is the size of my auntie's dog's head), but Chico is so well behaved and cute and actually smart for something with a brain the size of a walnut (beats some humans I know). And he was named after candy.


This one was kinda blurry because it was indoors and he was running, but I quite like the effect with the streaming hair (and it looks a lot better shrunk down this size).
