Dock Diving fix

i wake up on Friday mornings and start the tremble (DTs), as I don't have a event to go to so I have found a fix over here.

I have my train ticket and will head out Sat to take in everything and watch some dock diving. I will take some pics and post.
I am really interested to see the mix of diving breeds over here. I expect to see more Goldens here.

Check out the events list!!!

This is one event I definitely think we should bring to the states.

DOGGY DANCING
Learn to dance with Gina Graham at the show. You'll be able to take part in masterclasses with Gina and have a go at putting all the moves together into the finished routine. Gina and Michelle and Carole Dodson will also be strutting their stuff - so why not have a go yourself? Alternatively, just watch from the sidelines in awe like everyone else!

cheers
Jim

Check out the dog in the upper left corner Ultimate Air Elation

Doggy Dancing is usually referred to as musical freestyle or freestyle for short here in the USA. Interested groups have been trying to get 4-Hers involved for quite a few years now. They have managed to get a few girls to compete with their dogs, but very few boys. It can be rather entertaining when done by practiced teams that match their style to the music well. The music usually ranges from tearjerking "chic" songs to fast paced energetic numbers (only suitable for fast/fit dogs and owners of course). You should definitely check it out.

It was mainly Borders and Springers last year when I was there.With the great interest in the sport,I would be interested to see what other breeds have become involved.It was fun to see full-tail Springers (Docking is illegal in most cases)

Gina is absolutely Brilliant! I was so bummed she did not win Brittan's Got Talent. There are quite a few youtube videos out there of her.

Did you like the show?

Just a side note.. Rookie the golden that is famous for the grease dancing passed away the day before yesterday at 15 yo
