About Sugar is ready for racing at the JRTCA Trials. The muzzle is put on just before the race starts. It is for their own protection because Jack Russells are very competitive and will sometimes snap at the dog next to them to get ahead. As you can see in this photo, she is very focused on the race course where a heat has just finished... she is up next. And, no she did not win, it was her first time but won't be her last, in fact we are going to the next trial this weekend! Wish us luck! Oh, and we don't do it for us... we do it because she was born for this stuff.. she absolutely loves it, it is done with no encouragement from us at all. But of course we enjoy watching her have fun!

Nicely done. I could have used one of those muzzles last night. A neighbours dog kept me awake all night by barking

Warmest regards ~ James

Whoooo! sugar is focussed... Love that dog.. I have a dog Mika who look so much like sugar... But he is lazy .. not at all into competing. Loves his food and his nap and loves to play. Sugar will do well as she enjoys herself... All the best to you guys..

Thank you so kindly, Salvador. I am rather happy with this also... there is no post processing other than a little fine sharpening that was lost in the reduction of the file for uploading and adding the frame... no cropping either. The early morning light helped this image a great deal. I guess I need to get up early more often! lol.... thanks again. Have a great day!

Danke schoen, Alain! :) Actually they are more better known to catch rodents such as rats, but they are also very quick and enjoy racing. In this race, a lure is attached to the end of a rope and pulled across the course.. so I suppose it's like they are chasing a rat instead of actually striving for a finish line, per se.

Thanks again, for your very kind remarks. Have a great day! :)

You got that right, AJ, she is sooo very serious and focused! It amazes me sometimes... yet if you called her, she directs her attention back to you. We adopted her last year so I am not sure of her history, but she *may* have had some training, or she just is a good dog. We love her dearly.

Thanks so much for looking and taking the time to comment!

The expression Sugar's face is wonderful - that of an intent spectator, weighing up the odds.
