Continuing our training from last Saturday, the Master dogs also did a long water mark. It was about 20 yards on land and then 100 yards across the pond, so approximately 120 yards in total. Not only was it a long swim into the wind, but the dogs had to skirt the edge of the island which can sometimes throw them off.
Thunder was up first and did a very nice job on this and took a nice line to the mark.
For some reason the kid throwing the bumpers changed it up and threw the mark a bit shorter for Storm. She is not always keen on super long swims, so she lucked out. She did a nice job on this mark.
I didn’t get a lot of pictures of Storm because Freighter was watching her work. His expressions were precious and I just had to snap a few pictures.
Tomorrow, our weekend plans.
Great pics! Freighter’s sure made me giggle!
What a great job! That is a long swim for them. Those pictures of Freighter say it all. I can’t believe how intense he looks while watching Storm! He really is a sweetheart! Love that last pic! 🙂
I think Freighter is learning from watching his buddies! And they’re setting a great example for him too. 🙂
I love how Thunder’s butt is just perched above the ground waiting to go and I agree, his expressions are precious. You can tell that he loves what he does. I do wonder what he’s thinking as he watches her. 🙂
Wow, that looks challenging, but fun.
Great pictures. That Freighter is such a character.
Blessings,

Freighter looks so intent. Lucky Storm and Thunder did so well so he has good teachers.
This looks like so much fun I kind of wish I could jump in there with the dogs. It’s been so long since I went swimming… Maybe I’m just in summer withdrawl?
I love the new header, by the way! The action shot is awesome!
Beautiful photos! These dogs are amazing. Freighter seems like a character 🙂

I love how Freighter is taking it in all in! I have a suspicion that he might be a natural:)
Woohoo another water post!!! We love these– the photos are so awesome. Both Thunder and Storm look like they had a great day! Those photos of Freighter are priceless LOL that yawning one is too cute 🙂
Nice photos, and great intensity in the guys. Do you use a dummy launcher for your long retrieves?
