With McGuire finished in the ring, it is time to get him ready for the field. He should be pretty easy to get his Field championship/Dual championship on him. He is very keen and very competitive.

Cinnamon(who doesn't know or care that she is slow)






McGuire about to be released


this just cracks me up. Not ever sure why I clicked the shutter from this angle. ew.


This intensity and focus is what makes a great courser


He has a very unique running style that is very similar to his sire's(who was #1 2 years in a row)


The bags are moving on the string ~40mph We have radared the dogs at 39mph around a turn. Bags have to stay out of their reach as they can't catch it until the end. It is the lure operators job to do this.






He caught it and slid on his side. Really pretty impressive the intensity he has!


Tanis cooling him down in a puddle. We were also right on the lake and we would throw them in the lake If you can keep the pads from overheating, they won't blow them. It was 90+ degrees and 100% humidity that day









One that was an accident, that turned into a custom framed canvas for the owner



A quickie advertising shot for her youngest show dog. It was hot, sun was too high, but, I was there and it was what we had to work with.

Julie,
these are great!!! I love the rear shot. Talk about unique angles !

Yup, McGuire does have a bit of intensity. Great, great shots all of them.

We've never done lure coursing, but there is a fun run that is set up at some shows that features a lure pulled on a wire through a modified Agility course. In Ft. Lauderdale a few years ago, we tried out Rowdy on the course. He's mellow but loves to play so when the lure started, he took off like a shot, hurdled the A-frame completely and caught the lure on the far turn. It was hysterical. His time was second best to a Whippet that day! He thought the Whippet was very pretty, too .

Doggie fun zone! We actually don't do them as it is even more dangerous for whippets than regular coursing. The area is too small. They love it though!

When we do this stuff, it is when I shoot for my own personal fun. I have shot so much this summer I am a little burnt out. This sorta thing kinda clears my head

Awesome action captured in these.

I've got a couple lure coursing dates coming up. It will be a nice change of pace.
