Dock Dogs at the Dutchess County Fair 23

Some people go to the county fair to go on the rides. Some go for the food or vendors. I go mainly to see the animals. One event I do not want to miss is Dock Dogs.

This dog almost caught it before he landed in the water.

Just like humans have competitions at the fair in 4H raising animals, baking pies, and doing artwork, dogs have their events. One of the Dock Dog events at the fair is one in which the owners throw an object, the dogs run the length of a long dog to go after it, and they are judged by how far they jump off the dock before they land in the water.

I believe this was a senior dog.

Focused Brown Dog

This dog just seemed so focused on the task and serious. I had to include several images of him.

Running for the toy.

Frisbee Dog

This dog’s preferred toy was a frisbee. He was able to go quite a far distance in the pool. O love the expression on its face.

County Fairs have a lot to see. If you have not been to one in a while, make sure you visit one next year.
