Shooter is at Webb Footed Kennels in Jonesboro, Ark. This is the equivalent to the Harvard of retriever training. Chris Akin, the owner, is the best of the best in training labs. He won the World Championship with his dog Boomer.
Shooter's training is quite involved and is there for four months. I miss him and his companionship. He slept in my bed every night and now lives in a unheated metal building and sleeps in a plastic 55 gallon drum.
Back to the photo. I shoot a Canon Mark III which takes 10 frames a second - the only camera to have as a sports photographer. It was rather cold outside and we didn't want to keep him in the water too long, so I did not have much time to get the exact shot I wanted. I did take alot of others though. This photo is actually a compilation of 4 photos. I think it turned out pretty good.
Let me know what you think.
