Dog Days of August event

Up and at 'em! Time to head out everyone.


We're going to the "Dog Days of August" event today.

What should we do first?


Oh boy, here's my good friends Mr. Bob and Bella. She's going to try the Rally-O course.


Hey, it's Argus----I remember you. Let's sniff to make sure.



We had a Shiloh booth at the event, so folks could find out about us Shilohs. I met this boy there, he was nice and wanted to hang out with us.




I'm waiting for my turn at agility. There was a long line because this was a very popular thing.

They also had herding, disc dog, Rally-O, testings, seminars, and we got to watch greyhounds chase "lures" in a big field. They had all kinds of dog games and contests too. Plus, they had different dog breed booths with lots of information and stuff for sale. Oh yeah, they had lots of food too!



The "dog walk". I remember this from my agility classes. Piece of cake.




"Weave poles", a little harder because I'm a big dog, but mom helped me out.



"Jumps", I like these----woooo-hoooo!


A kind lady gave me a nice bucket of cold water when I was done.


They had so many activities that I didn't get to see them all! And every kind of dog you could imagine came to this event. It was so much fun, and mom said I was a very, very good boy!

more fun coming soon at Keepstone.....

Well, I took my 4th herding lesson at Keepstone Farms and I had a lot of fun. I'm starting to really get the hang of it, I think.

I think the sheep are pretty silly, but I do enjoy moving them around.

Next Saturday there is going to be a huge event at Keepstone called "Dog Days in August". There will be all kinds of dogs there, and a lot of opportunities to watch or participate in doggy activities like: herding, frisbee, Rally-O, agility, tracking, seminars, games, demonstrations and contests. Shilohs will have a booth there also, to educate folks about our breed. Oh boy!
