A few training day pics.

[Mike Bons]

Yesterday our group got together for its first official training day of the year. Since it was mostly sunny I thought I might see what pictures I could get.
Goldens are soooo much easier to photograh than black labs! For all of the images: http://s11.photobucket.com/albums/a164/MikeBons/Training%20Days/

Hey Mike,

Pretty nice black dog pics. I know the first pic. That was when I made CJ sit on the way in from the blind after she blew off a whistle on the way out.:angry: Will have to bring my camera one day and take some pics of your girls in action. Really great pics.:kewlpics:

Anne

[johnsbritt]

I'm issuing a tie on the chocolate... only because I told my wife it was hers.

Naw, that's the Rubster. Guage has much longer legs than that.

Agree on Ruby. Note what appears to be the lead still attached. Dead give away though.....Gauge is a bit taller and little "leaner" shall we say... :angel:

Not sure....but here is one that I am sure is Guage, (his poor tongue). Sorry, it is not that sharp.

Awesome pics! I love seeing pictures of everyone's dogs in "action"!

[just chessies]

Beautiful pictures thanks for sharing, we got rained out on Sunday:mad:

Someone we won't name has the idea that if he feeds her lots, she will keep growing. Yesterday, he was so pleased when he made the comment that Ruby was almost as tall as CJ. Now I ask you, what kind of a goal is that to catch up to CJ in height?:sad1: :idea:

Anne

[AD18]

I'm sure with training season in full swing now Ruby will be shaped into the sleek athlete she is in no time.

[Adrienne]

Naw, that's the Rubster. Guage has much longer legs than that.

Anne

Yes it's Ruby, there is no blood on the bumper..:stirpot:

How is his tongue by the way?

Sorry guys, but both pictures are of "Guage". :fencing:

[trapperwill]

Gauge's tongue healed up nicely. The back of my truck is another story. We can pretend it's Ruby though. Close enough.:angel:

This picture was taken in N.Carolina 3years ago in Feb.There was about a 3 ft. drop before he hit the water, he was more happyer than me in the traininghttp://img514.imageshack.us/img514/623/picture005smpu2.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

[Mike Bons]

Nice picture Chessie. I love water entry pics.

Now don't hold me to it, but I believe this is rock'n Ruby!

[luvmylabs]

I'm not sure if that's Ruby or not. The collar is on the same way in all the pics. I usually put mine on the other side, but it might be her. When they are that closely related, it's hard to tell them apart unless they are side by side. Not hard then. Guage is about a foot taller than Ruby.:angel: and yes Al, all lot wider too.:1:

[just chessies]

Mike that dog looks like she is in full flight and the white ribbon on the bumper looked like it was wrapped around her front leg till i took a closer look. Thanks for sharing
