Default Flying high with flyball

Wow, I've been so busy with so much going on this past week, I've missed DPS. I got to shoot at a Flyball demonstration today, these are so fun, the dogs are so fast and are so into this. They have to jump a series of jumps, at the end they have to step or bang the wooden box and the prize is a tennis ball, then they turn back, go back over the jumps and return to their owners/trainers. They get teams going back and forth, its very loud and lots of fun.
Here are some of the dogs catching some air over the jumps.
Flyball-09

Flyball-06

Oops, this little guy was smarter than everyone and decided heck with the jumps he was going around them all.

Flyball-04

Even these little guys can do it, this guy was just learning.

Flyball-01

It was a pretty fun day. Thank you for looking !

OMG, I think #3 smelled some treats in your pocket Mom! He is heading right for you which is of course not the right direction. All are fantastic action shots, fur is flying! But #3 just made me LOL! Too cute! Looks like you had a ton of fun today!
