Year of the Kelpie

[FG167]

My first year I had Eden I worked a TON on a various of sports, now she dabbles here and there because her foundation is pretty much solid. Kastle same thing, we are preparing for our IPO I hopefully in April...This is the year of the Kelpie.

Limit is coming out of his fear period. I am so relieved and happy and ecstatic...and everything good. We've moved to GA, he's enrolled in an excellent agility class (where he is progressing at the same rate as the BCs and the field bred Golden - yay!). We visited a flyball team to ask about classes...and they asked us to come out to the team training. They liked him.

Limit is also my 52 weeks photo project for this year (Kastle was last year's). Here are some pics of him.

We even got some snow down south here...Limit loved it

Herder stand off (that's Eden)

Bad boys the bodyguards

He's such a weird little gumby man

Limit doesn't know how to hold things in his mouth or really pose, like Kastle did last year. I am having to just find places and hope he does something photo worthy. It's harder, and easier, and sort of more fun because then I get to utilize my surroundings. Plus, Limit likes to just gaze off into the distance LOL

I try SO HARD to get nifty lighting/mood shots (like Kootenay and REI - are those screen names right ladies?)

And a sexy shot of the Kelpie

A couple of my other loves...

Limit has turned into SUCH a handsome man!!

I love the different lighting. And I love that he just gazes off into the distance. It reminds me of the indian thing about "four eyed" dogs being able to see things from "beyond" (four eyes being the eyebrows a different color)

Limit is gorgeous. I love him, & your photography is awesome.

You and Charliedog are both in GA don't know how I didn't realise this we need a south eastern Chaz meet up.

Limit is what shared my love for kelpie.

[Kootenay]

There's my favorite boy! You are an amazing photographer! You have a great model! Thank you for sharing these photos. I seriously love Limit!

 

[LostAndConfused]

I love your pictures of him, he is such a nice looking dog

We got some pretty sad news about flyball. Change of scheduling no longer allows us to train with the team We will be continuing with box turn work though and I'm trying to set something up with a different team instead. Also, agility is going GREAT.

Limit came to work with me today. He was definitely nervous: some tail tucking, skittering away from scary things, and lots of dander production. But he also played energetically tug and ball with me in three different unknown and populated areas, and he showed no nervousness of people we passed. Even when they cooed at him. AND he posed for the obligatory photos.

I <3 him

So glad you started this thread! I have a serious crush on Limit and his angry eyebrows.

Love the photography as well!

I have a good friend in Ringgold - which sadly, looks to be about 2.5 hours from you. But I'm more than happy to put you in touch with her about some other possibilities.
