Action Photos first place winner is Dianne Rose

Dianne Rose of Yardley, Pa. won Action Photos with this photo of a pair of dogs jumping in unison.

"The photo is of the 4-year-old border collie Night Cap and the 18-month-Shetland sheepdog Daiquiri practicing for team agility (if it was a competition class) in Yardley," said Rose. "They're my sister Janet's dogs, and she got them each when they were about 8 weeks old."

"Janet's been competing in agility competitions for a long time," said Rose. "The border collie has his first degree and is working on his next degree. The sheepdog has just starting competing. The border collie also does herding competitions."
