The dog in the pictures is Smokey. The helper is Walter Wengert from Germany. We had a great time, Smokey scored well in obedience and protection but came up short in tracking. We have some work to do in tracking.

Nice looking dog and shots

Love that retrieve shot! Smokey is handsome

Tracking is what I'm focusing on too. Hard to try all different cover, when everything is still dead and frozen around here.

Thanks, he is a great dog. I don't envy you for having to track on frozen ground.

Actually my dog is tracking better right now than he did last summer with the heat and the ants. But some fresh growth with no mud would be nice...I can't wait! Tracking is my favorite phase though, not my dogs :(

Do you have any photo's of your obedience routine?

Great! I'll send you Gryffon! It will be a couple of more months before the snow is melted here (still have like 3 feet of it here).
Glad you like tracking - I find it monotonous and boring.

send Gryff here! He can blow his coat in the tropics of Michigan, lol!

Awsome Pics!!

Thanks, I think the dumbbell retrieve is the only obedience pic I've seen so far. If someone sends me some I will post them.
