Picture Perfect. Leonardo's Movement.

This weekend Leonardo our State Champion in the jumping section of the Dog Trials held here in Adelaide will once again represent his Club and State in the Jumping section of Agility Training.

My son owns and trains Leonardo, also known as Leo and he is a pure bred Red and Tan Australian Kelpie Dog.

For Picture Perfect Theme of Movement I present Leo as he runs out from the tunnel and into the next section of the agility course.

 

If you enjoy fast movement with precision and dedicated team work between the dog and his trainer then you will love to see this amazing team in action. Good Luck to Leonardo and Darren this weekend.

Winners

Congratulations on your great achievement this weekend.

MEET Leonardo one of Australia's most agile canines. The kelpie (with owner Darren ) was part of a four-dog SA team that took out the National Agility Teams Challenge Final on March 9.  Pic: Stephen Laffer.

  2. Great post! I love watching a well-trained dog in action. It takes hard work and dedication on the part of both the dog and the trainer.

  11. GREAT shot. My Grandma used to raise and show dogs and she always carted me along with her to help her groom and take care of whatever dog she was showing at the time. It was a wonderful experience and I enjoyed every moment of it. Even cleaning up the poop...LOL. Thank you for taking me back in time. Here's mine. I'm finally up and ready. Feel free to come by and take a look and have a wonderful weekend!!! http://bikergirl279.multiply.com/journal/item/344/Picture_Perfect_Friday_Movement
