Some of it comes down to luck experience and skill. In agility i know where the dogs are going and can be prepared ahead. There were some runs where I was not in position to get a good shot it is hard if you are not already on a dog to get on the dog while running and trying not to trip as well and other time you have to avoid creating a hinderence to the judge as well. Also perhaps the best run of the week Was by Riley and Gotter Did a Father and daughter combination but it was still to cold out I did not even attmpt to use the Camcorder till saturday afternoon The bunnies were keeping the the heavier cover as well. I'm sure there would have be a lot more run if we let the dogs into the swamp but it does no good if it is impossible to judge because of the cover and lack of mobilty on the human part, the pups don't seem to have a problem unless their ankles get wet

The autofucus did not help as often the camera would focus on the brush in the forground and not the dogs. So I only shot when they were in less cover. I couldn't figure out how to turn it off. After reading the manual appearently you can't so it is a limitation of the equipment as well.

Awesome video!!! Thanks for posting it!. I played it a couple of times for The Buninator - she wanted to take notes, but she had trouble with her pen.

Too bad you didn't catch my my lovely face plant and Belle making the decision whether to stay with me as I lay groaning in the dirt or catch up with you and Macey.

BTW, where did you get your rabbit pouch???

Dean

DUH !! Obvoiously you get a rabbit pouch from eating too many rabbits !

Dean

My mistake, I read it as rabbit paunch not pouch

Funny.

We ran across dead bunny pieces yesterday. Almost took them home to sew together. Mikey, I'm sure that's not how you got yours???????

actual they are sold as tug toys for agility dogs here is a link Bunny Jackpot & Tug Toy
"Some dogs need even more stimulation than our other food-stuffable toys provide, so this dog toy incorporates real fur. The heavy-duty ballistic nylon treat pouch is covered with real rabbit fur on one side and seals up tight with Velcro so that you can stuff it with food, squeakers, or whatever else your dog likes"


for dogs that are even less tug motivated is Tug It Training Toy
"Finally there's a training device to teach a dog to tug that makes the process both fun and easy! The Tug It! is made out of nylon/polyester mesh so it automatically delivers food reinforcement as the dog clamps down on it. The harder the dog mouths the toy, the more food reinforcement the dog gets.
