Some photos from our trials... all photos are thumbnailed, click to see full size version.
This is the same photo seen at the top of the main agility page, here is a larger version. It was taken at a May, 2002 NADAC trial, by Matt Sachs. We didn't qualify in this run... Mr. Excited couldn't wait for the teeter to drop.
June, 2002 found us at the Mount Bachelor Kennel Club trial in Redmond, OR. Several photos were taken by Cloud 9 Photography
August, 2002. This photo is a bit of an embarassment to me, because yes, Elmo is wearing his studded Stafford collar. The studs are not allowed in AKC agility and would have disqualified him. But, we didn't get caught. Shhh! I believe this was the 2nd leg on his OAJ. Photo is by Creative Indulgence.
Photos taken at a Portland Agility Club trial in September of 2002. These photos are by Matt Sachs.
These aren't the best photos, but I cherish them, as it was Tully's first trial. (and both dogs are winking at me!) May 2003, Columbia Agility Team NADAC trial:
Tully's first AKC trial followed in June, in Puyallup. (site of the Terrier Triumph the preceding year!) We didn't qualify, and some of us had more fun than others (okay, Tully had more fun than anyone), but we got some photos from Tien Tran, a fantastic agility photographer!
A few weeks later found us back in Redmond, OR, for the MBKC trial. I bought several photos from Cloud 9 Photography.
Labor Day weekend, 2003, we were in southern Oregon for the Rogue Canine Agility trial. Ann Clayton photography got this excellent picture of Elmo.
Not quite as exciting, but a few brag photos of their winnings.
April, 2004 this nice photo of Tully was taken by Standing Stones photography, in Sequim, WA:
Cloud 9 Photos got some more good pictures of Elmo in June of 2004, at the MBKC trial in Redmond, OR:
Peterson's Photography got some pictures of both Elmo & Tully at an August trial in Vancouver, WA. It was very muggy this day! The photographer got arty with the prints, and "posterized" some of them, though by the time I scanned them in, you can't tell which those were:
September, 2004 we were back in Vancouver, and Peterson's again got some photos. The weather was terrible, but this run finished Elmo's MX!
Spring, 2005; Columbia Agility Team NADAC trial. Just Elmo this weekend, Matt Sachs and Joe Camp each got some photos:
This trial was held at the Oregon State Fair, by the Doberman Pinscher club. Elmo & Tully both participated... Elmo finished his MXJ at this trial!
