Pics of Mountain biking dogs please!

climbing, rather than biking shots, but she does both better than me!



this last one is her patiently waiting for me to stop faffing with the camera and ride…

trying again with the photos..

Ditch Jockey –
does he climb well? Its amazing what they can get up. We had a (now sadly deceased) Collie, German Shepherd cross, that managed to go up Jacks Rake on Pavey Ark – he was really sure footed, been over Striding edge and Sharp edge too, (on a harness and a short scrambling rope) he looked very similar to yours, a lovely dog!

Bracken’s a ‘she’ not a ‘he’, but yes, she’s very sure footed and seems to have good depth perception – apparently that’s sometimes a problem with dogs.

She’s certainly better on rocky ground than she is around water – she has an aversion to getting her lovely white paws wet, although she’s better now as she doesn’t expect to get carried over streams anymore. She’s only just hit 2 years, so this will be the first summer we’ve had her out for any serious walks.

Here’s another two now that I can add the actual pic and not just a link.

Would I be correct in saying that is Innerleithen ?
The place not the dog.

several hardtails spotted too!

TheArtistFormerlyKnownAsSTR – how tall is that fence!!!?

6ft – but the hound is stood on a load of sleepers holding the back of the rockery up, so probably 4ft.

STR – what breed is your hound?

Not entirely sure, as we got him at 4 months old from a shelter, but information from when we got him, coupled with opinions from doggy type people, we’ve decided he’s a Staffy/Boxer cross.

I showed this thread to my Chihuahua, told her this is what all the super-fit dogs do… are you up for it..? the pic is her response…

Yep 🙂

It’s such a shame when they can no longer do these sorts of things.
My Lab’, Toby, once known as Mad-as-a-brush, who used to love his 8hr epic walks, is now 14yrs old and the muscle wastage ’round his rear-end is awful – it’s what will spell The End in due course.
He’s now known as Dog-who-poos-in-the-house!

Take as may pictures as you can whilst they’re still up for the adventure as retirement is not all it’s made out to be.

My excellent lab cross Zed. Dumped near our house by someone who just didn’t want him anymore.

I knew i recognised that dark wall with singletrack through it photo! Inners of course!!

bolox. Why can’t I link to my photobucket pictures?

flickr is better!

not my dog but he came climbing with us a few times. He even tried a bit of soloing himself. Ah, that pics not online any more.
