When we are out and about just messing around the gang ends up doing the three Chesapeake relay. What is the three Chesapeake relay you ask, well it is when there are no rules, no training technique going on and the dogs can do what they want when I throw a bumper or two or in this case three.
Gman, Nellie and Glory all have a bumper.
Glory says “I got my bumper”.
And the relay starts.
Nellie goes in for the hand off.
Glory hands it off.
Nellie decides she is done with this game.
Glory goes for the bumper.
Gman is hot on her tail.
Gman’s going for the bumper.
Under Glory he goes.
na na I got it.
I still have mine.
I see one here.
Come get mine, I dare you!
The collision.
And the turn around.
If I don’t get a bumper I will make a crazy face.
What usually happens is Nellie will steal the bumpers and run off with them and make her own pile, Gambler will get to them the fastest so he swipes them all first and poor Glory just gives them up and she isn’t a fighter.
yes, that’s a fabulous crazy face, well done! Three chesapeake relay is something like the super bowl, but more interesting, isn’t it?
How fun that they all play with the same thing. We don’t play much at all with toys outside, just chase and wrestle with each other. They sure are having a blast!
Now that’s my type of fun, no rules Bawahwhahhhah xxoxxx

Oh, JoAnn! I laughed out loud. My pack and yours would have a fantastic time together since they all know this game 🙂 Love those photos!
WOW you are having SOOOOOOO much FUN. We would like that game…
Your action shot picture are always the best! Love the faces!
I would get a television if someone would broadcast 3 Chesapeake relay.
BTW, is unstructured play with the bumpers part of keeping their formal retrieving work strong? Or is it just good for fun?
It is just for fun. Actually John doesn’t like me playing with the dogs with bumpers, he thinks it messes them up for there real training. 🙁 I don’t listen and they get to have some fun with bumpers.
That is definitely one CRAZY crazy face! Ha!!! Love these action shots!!! Looks like you guys had LOADS of fun!

Such happy dogs in these photos! Looks like they had a blast playing relay. Especially love the expression on Nellie’s face when she goes in for the hand off. 🙂
I think with a mom like you, your dogs are having fun no matter what they do!
Excellent photos! Love the crazy eyes and the wild faces, true signs of fun!
It looks like that had a fabulous time and you sure got some great pictures.
I think it’s great that it’s not always all about the training, and sometimes you just get out there and have fun!! You always get such great photos too!
I wish my three would play like that! Scout and Ash would rather sleep on the couch and Teddy just likes to chase squirrels!
What an awesome day!!!! Joy, joy, joy!!!!
so much fun and that pictures capture that! 🙂
