Yeah, he really takes that racing so seriously. See how intent he is on winning? It always amazes me hoe focused he looks! He does a lot more sports than just racing & is actually better at those, as all he has to use is his nose & prey instinct. He's a really great hunter!

I like those action shots. Just out of curiosity, how old is Kalvin?

Didn't think a 9-yr old dog would be doing such things, although I suppose it would help to keep them young. My pugs are too hard-headed to do anything other than beg for food. :)

What are the frills around their necks for? Identification during the race?

Also: nice arm! :D

Yes, so the judge can pick what order the furry blurs are, running by her.

That is just the veterans. We also have Super Seniors, who are 10+. They also all compete in all the same events (less jumps & set lower).

I think that's very cool. Is it just Jack Russell Terriers, or other breeds too?

I entered my dog Harvey, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier in a terrier racing competition (just for fun) It was the funniest thing I have ever watched - I actually cried! He didn't really know what he was doing, so he just ran & ran & made up for his lack of knowledge, with enthusiasm!

My hair's in a ponytail. That pic's about 5 years old. Any smaller terrier is welcome to join in the fun!
