staff and amstaff fun day photos

the site uploaded some pics of what happened at the staff fun day, so i'll share them with you all

the weigh pulling demo.



match show (even though all the entries where actual show dogs so... it was a bit sad that people with mixes and non standard dogs didnt feel comfortable entering)


this was some kind of exsercis you could do with you dog, for both owner and dog. the dog at some points needed to balance ontop of the ball, there was also some agility demo



there where lots of people



romeo did this last year, but the people gathering blood samples to help find causes for things like tail chasing and ocd as well as genetic illnesses


it was a good day

That first picture - so much power! Impressive!

And the last one - bless! That little face! Can't imagine Dempsey standing still to have a needle poked into his leg.

Great pics does look interesting!

Aw no, why would you ruin a fun day out with needles? Unfair

Looks like a brilliant time though, and the weight-pulling looks really cool

romeo tried pull last year and did really well. we couldnt this time because of his healing knees

Brill pics, looks like a fun day

Certainly looks like a great day

lovely,

would love to go to / see a competition like that with staffys, not much happening round here, not that I know off.. in Northern Ireland

Looks brilliant , i love looking at agility photos , bet Romeo was pleased he escaped the needle this time

this is event is normally held for free, so dogs get to try all the sports out them selves. its to help get people into more dog related sports and see other people with staffs, they have food and drink there and you can buy stuff for the dog. its normally free but because its winter here we cant have it outside so there was just a 5€ entery fee to help pay the rent of the building.

Hahaha poor romeo... he has had so MANY needles in his short life that i bet he wouldnt notice one more.

they had at the event:
- agility
-pulling
-lure chasing
-tracking (which was more like a sausage hunt )
- a second pulling where the dog took hold of a training toy and pulled it and they measured the mouth pulling power with a pressure device
-dog dancing
-match shows
-doggy arobics
-free professional photography
- blood sampling for medical research

and really there where just so many people and dogs that romeo wore himself stupid just from sniffing and playing with everyone

Looks like an excellent day
