Camera Critters, Canine Long Jump

While out today I dropped by a unique competition in Fort Scott. These dogs were jumping out into the pool and being measured by an official. This was the most focused one of all, he jumped over 21 feet!
Why wait till it gets in the water!
Nice form!
This Border Collie would not get in the water at first, I could hear him saying to his owner, "Please I am a herder", but once in he wouldn't get out instead he did a politician loop for all the kids at poolside.
The kids at poolside got to get a little wet from the splash.

A Labradoodle! He went way out there!
They all seemed very focused and also seemed to being enjoying it, I don't blame them it was hot today out there!

I love watching these dogs, though I've only seen some of them on TV. It amazes me how far they jump.
