Simply Grand Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) Love it! Based on that photo the Kelpie is totally owning that situation. (I'm assuming they sorted it out and neither dog was hurt...) ETA - and look at the sheep, "lets get outta here, nothing to do with us ) Edited March 10, 2014 by Simply Grand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuxie Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 That's an awesome action shot. Gee, dogs can pull some scary faces when they want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Crazy Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Wow !!! they say girls are the worst together. Great action pic Look at the shoulders on that Kelpie bitch. Lovely shiny coat. She is one well built girl. Hope they sorted there issues without anyone getting seriously hurt. The sheep were out of there... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staffyluv Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 That is a awesome shot but who stops to take a photo of two dogs fighting? Wouldn't the first instinct be, to break it up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I'm thinking by the stance on both dogs that it may have been one of those lots of slobber and noise fights that are over in a cery short amount of time... I've seen serious fights - and this really looks more of a "rack off" and "ok, I'm going" situations - the Koolie looks as if she's actually backing down there... T.

Jed Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Great photo. Staffyluv, I think they are perhaps swearing at each other, and squabbling rather than really fighting - I can see the black one saying "f&^*king b^%$ch, you got in my way there, I'll bite your f$^*ing head off in a minute" and the other one is giving a bit of cheek back. Just how it looks to me. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staffyluv Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 It looks the same to me as well - I was just wondering, who thinks to pull out a camera and take a photo of fighting dogs? My first reaction would be to say get out of it and then possibly try to break it up (if the get out of it didn't work) - I wouldn't think to pull out a camera to take a pic of it.. However thinking about it a bit more - perhaps the photographer was just there taking other pics and this just happened (like most of the best pics do)..

piper Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I think she was probably taking pics of the dogs working so camera already up. Definitely 1 of those lots of noise and no damage disagreements by the looks of it. And if they are her dogs or she knows the dogs it could be that she knows it is just a telling off/sorting out and not likely to be harmful.

benshiva Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I have to admit, my first thought was, who would take a photo instead of breaking it up. That's still my thought as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelpiecuddles Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 They may not have even been her dogs. Given she's holding a good quality camera and was likely holding it when the biffo started I'd say it's more likely someone else was working the dogs and she was simply taking a few photos when it happened. We also don't know what was happening outside of the photo, for all we know someone else may have been yelling at them to pack it in and heading over there and she got a pic moments before it was broken up...

Guest Ams Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 It is a series of photos she has taken in the muster yard and loading of the sheep into a transport truck. The photographer was there just to take photos. There were farmers on hand to work the dogs and break up the fight. She does say on her FB page the fight was broken up quickly and neither b*tch was hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Crazy Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) I have seen working dogs get furious with one another before. When they are at " work" their adreniline is pumping. It doesn't take much at times to trigger an arguement. Usually it looks & sounds a lot worse than it actually is. Neither dog is injured. The farmers just whistle or go grab their dog if need be. I presummed that this photo resembled a similar senario, only difference being there was professional photographer there to catch the moment.

huga Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) If I was already shooting and that happened, I would just keep shooting :) My dogs get into little scraps every now and then - they don't even touch each other, it's all noise and sounds much worse than it actually is. Hell, I have photographed them play fighting before and it looks bad. All that bitey face :) Edited March 11, 2014 by huga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
