Dog Show Too.

This is Dock Dogs (website here: http://www.dockdogs.com/) . There’s a long dock (30 feet or so) and an equally long three-foot deep pool. The dog owners, with an amusing ratio of success to failure, attempt to plant the dog on his or her heinie at the end of the dock furthest from the water. The owner walks to the water’s edge holding the dog’s favorite binkie, er… I mean, fetch toy (no food allowed), and by waving the binkie and cajoling and generally massaging the dog’s already healthy ego, the owner pumps it up and practically out of its little doggie brain in frenzied anticipation of the “GO” signal. Upon release the owner throws the toy and the dog comes flying down the dock and launches itself into the water after the binkie. The canine that jumps the furthest (in their class) wins.

If you think these dogs aren’t serious, just look at the pictures.
