Tassie Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 Thanks for posting these, Eileen. I particularly like the one of Bart starting his outrun - what a depiction of power, speed and concentration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoe Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 I like that one of Bart too. And I like the one of Tom Wilson with Sly - I like those queit photos of dog and handler - they say so much. There is another one in Under the Handlers Tent under the Meeker photos post of Kate Ash and her dog. It is beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momzilla Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 Thanks so much for posting these! It is poetry in motion to watch these wonderful dogs working with their instinct. I never get tired of seeing pictures of dogs working. Great pics! Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KelliePup Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 I love Bart's outrun. The nice taunt lines of animals in motion really speak to me. I just want to grab my sketchbook everytime I see one of those and capture the moment in my style...which just happens to be very realistic.

kevin881 Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Thanks Eileen. Do you have many other photos? I didnt get a chance to see Joni Swanke run Lew, or Kathy Knox run Jake. Id love to see photos of either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Anne Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Beauty, intelligence and stamina... don't see that much in dogs or people! Our BC's have it all. I admit I am predjudice. I just sigh when I see these awesome dog's working and loving it, hope some day maybe my Phoenix can do this. Thanks Eileen, for sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmetteabrakai Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 Beautiful photos, and I even know what a shed is these days My favorite time of the day is also the dusk or twilight you captured it perfectly, sigh I would love to have been there.

kevin881 Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 thanks eileen. i guess that was the DQ "nip" in her run? Lew sure is a beautiful dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eileen Stein Posted October 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Christine, those are terrific! I'm so glad you had some of Joni's Lew for Kevin -- I know I don't. I'll look to see if I have any of Kathy and Jake. I have a feeling I was watching them so intently I may not have used the camera at all, but maybe I'll find some when I get a chance to do a serious look. I love the brilliant clarity pros like you and Denise get in your pictures. BTW, I especially admire that picture you took of Jeanne Weaver's Tuff in your photo gallery. I must have shot a dozen of him during both his runs (cause I bred him and wanted a good pic), but he's so loose-eyed I never got one that looked like anything. (My slow reaction time doesn't help, either.) Yours is just great! That early morning light is pretty nice too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin881 Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 whoops, sorry christine... i thought that eileen posted those photos of lew. thanks! what kind of camera are you using to get those shots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valhalla Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Eileen, Thanks! Yup, since Tuff is loose-eyed he doesn't have a lot of style, so most of mine were not so great either. I didn't know you bred him? Who are his parents? [edit by Eileen to provide an answer to this question, which I didn't see until literally years after it was posted: Tuff's parents were my Spot (bred by Jeanie Weaver) and my Imp Meg.] Kevin, I have the Canon 10D.

Claire Owen Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 They are fantastic photo's and gorgeous dogs. I wish I could could do something like that with Bailey but he's scared of sheep (yes, thats right a herding dog thats scared of sheep)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOOSEDOGS Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 I own a litter mate to Joni's Lew, Miah, and let me tell you those dogs have little patience for onery ewes! Joan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin881 Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Christine, thats a great camera. I have the Canon 20D. Amazing what they can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary M Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 I am assuming that Tuff is the one blue eyed split face that Jeanne runs? Saw her at Green Acres trial in Michigan earlier this month. Great looking dog with a lightning outrun compared to the others I saw. Too bad the sheep that day were not going to be moved with a bulldozer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
