ruthless Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 (edited) In case you missed this thread, we've been bringing Chopper to train for a place on the dock diving team for the world games. I took some photos today ... Getting some loving in before his jump Apparently he left his leash manners at the gate! I think I need to get him a Superman cape! Nearly all the other dogs tuck their legs up, but not Chopper, he has to be different These are some of the other dogs. Most of them are jumping HEAPS better than Chopper!

kja Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I love the Pointer (?) in #7 post 2! Looks like heaps of fun Mine might get to the end of the dock but Dora would stop and just look at me like "what the hell would I want to jump off this for" and Tilly would no doubt simply fall off by being unco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

black magic Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 OMG Scout would love that. Great photos, you captured it so well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruthless Posted October 17, 2009 Author Share Posted October 17, 2009 Thanks! Flickr made them look very over-sharpened them for some reason Chopper was better today, but probably cause he had a better ball thrower than the last two times! He's still not as good as the bigger dogs. I'll be very surprised if he makes the team. He's having fun though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teekay Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Fantastic photos. Thanks for sharing. The Pointer looks like he's about to run across the top of the water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iltby Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Absolutely awesome photos Ruth, I'd never heard of dock diving before. Looks like Chopper had a brilliant time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Love the photos. Maybe Chopper needs more run up to get further. The pointer looks to be covering the most distance with his funny style of walking on water. My whippet Tag could do this I think. I dont know if they have it in Victoria though. I've seen pics of it in the US before, it's popular over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruthless Posted October 17, 2009 Author Share Posted October 17, 2009 After training OH decided to try running him from the end of the dock and he did get a bit further. The dogs that are really good are the dogs that are running to jump into the water regardless of the toy. Chopper's only doing it for his ball. He's hesitating a bit before he jumps in. Apparently the water's freezing, so maybe he's just a wuss! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leo01 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Awecome pics Ruthless! Looks like great fun! I would love to get Leo into dock diving, he LOVES the water no matter how cold and loves jumping in after his ball, I hope it takes off. Cant wait for the games! We only going 1 day but hopfully will see Chopper jump! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
