For those asking about photos from our July 18-20th event. Just wanted to share this update.

Some announcements:

- I have been receiving a lot of inquiries about galleries for events that I have covered. Unfortunately, I have been dealing with a storage issue on my current provider and am unable to upload anything currently. I am working on a solution, but I am unsure how long it will take to be completed. I appreciate everyone's patience while I deal with this.

- Secondly, this week is the LAST WEEK until my 2024 Galleries are deleted from my website! If you have any favorites that you have not yet purchased, now is your chance! Once the galleries are gone on August 31st at midnight EST, you will have to pay a $45 Archive fee to access older photos. I will still have the files in my possession, they just won't be posted to conserve space.

You can find the links to my 2024 Galleries here:
https://rnroccophoto.com/client-galleries/gallery/events/2024_events/

If you have any questions at all regarding orders, galleries, or events, please reach out to me via email at [email protected].

Facebook messenger has been notoriously unreliable for me, so I cannot guarantee I will see your message if you send it there.

Thank you all for your time and patience.

Country Paws August Splash & Dash 2025

We can’t wait to see everyone for our action packed weekend at Country Paws! We hope you’re as excited as we are!

🐾 Join us for a triple-threat weekend featuring Dock Diving, FastCAT, and Farm Dog testing! (Farm Dog offered Saturday only!)

🕖 Check-in opens at 7 AM each day (Friday, Saturday & Sunday). We ask that all participants check in by 4 PM. If you’re running a bit behind, please send us a message here or text 715.496.3100

💦 Dock Diving Info:
• We use splash cards, so once you’re checked in, you can jump anytime during the day!
• Distance Jumps: 8 AM – 5 PM
• Air Retrieve or Hydrodash: 12 PM–1 PM & 5 PM–6 PM (select your time at check-in; noon slots are limited)
• Practice Pool Time: 7 AM–8 AM + open practice throughout the day as time allows
• New This Year: A second pool is set up just for practice and try-its! If you’re not sure your dog will go off the dock come give it a try on our practice pool!

🐕 Farm Dog testing is Saturday only and registration will be at the pool. Course walk through/briefing will take place at 845am and again at 1215pm. The two tests will run concurrently so please attend one of the briefings.

🏃 FastCAT & Farm Dog competitors—be sure to check in at the dock diving pool first to get your splash cards on the board. If your turn on the dock comes while you’re over at FastCAT or Farm Dog, we’ll move you down and work you back in when you return.

📸 Our event photographers are Lynn Busse Images capturing the dock diving fun, and Barking Dog Images will be capturing the FastCAT runs!

🌭 And don’t miss the brat fry hosted by the Wisconsin Rapids Kennel Club from 10 AM–3 PM each day!

🐶 We still have availability in all three disciplines and are accepting day-of registrations!
