I havent been posting pics on here much, time to change that. I've got quite a few in queue as I've just developed a few rolls that were sitting from the warmer months. My pup Raven living her best life and street photos from Coventry and Cleveland East 4th

I've been quite smitten by Heelers lately. While cattle dogs tend to be few and far between at sheepdog trials, I did manage to snap a few nice shots of some spectators at the 2024 National Sheep Dog Trial Championships (wow, that name is a real mouthful).

This is Martyn. His calm appearance is belied by his pricked ears, which reveal his true state of alertness. While I may be projecting a little, his expression says to me: 'Why is the guy I was playing with just moments ago, now sitting out of reach pointing a giant camera at me?'. While I'm sure he would rather we had kept playing, I feel he is resigned to the fact that sometimes humans are just weird.

Today I have another pup from the Royal Canberra Show. I don't see many cattle dogs at the sheep trials, so it was great getting to photograph a few at the show. Heelers have such amazing colours and patterns, making them very photogenic.

This stocky little fella is Jimmy. A beaut little pup from Grimwood Australian Cattle Dogs. He has oodles of character and, while he remained well behaved in my presence, I'm assured gets into plenty of mischief at home.

New Dog taking the waters in the hog-waller. She just splashes into the middle, lies down, and takes a good, long soak.

Today I introduced her to aquatic stick-retrieving. A confirmed tennis-ball aficionada, she looked at me like I had two heads when I chucked the first stick into the pond. “You want me to do WHAT, now?” But after 5 minutes of pozz reinforcement she was tearin’ into the water, fetchin’ it up like a seasoned Labrador, and lovin’ it.

It was gratifying to witness the exact the moment when she went from confusion to enlightenment as she grasped the gist of this new enterprise. Her entire body language changed. Can’t get over how sharp she is. #dogs #BlueHeeler
