The Black Russian Terrier is a fairly large dog. If you like dogs with thick fur you would probably like that aspect of the Black Russian Terrier. They have thick fur that looks slightly wiry, but I have never had the opportunity to pet one to verify that the hair feels wiry. The Black Russian Terrier also has an enormous amount of fur around their head and face. They look like they… Read More

If you stay for the entire dog show you eventually see all the dogs in attendance whittled down to the small number of dogs that will compete for Best in Show. The dogs that are in left in the show ring for Best in Show will be one breed of dog that represents each group of dog breeds in the dog show. Watching the groups and the Best in Show portion of… Read More

Bernese Mountain Dogs are our favorite breed of dogs. We have shared our home with 7 different Bernese Mountain Dogs. We probably spend more time watching the Bernese Mountain Dogs at the dog show than any other breed. It has been really fun being around the Bernese Mountain Dogs during dog shows. It lead to us making friends with other Bernese Mountain Dog lovers. We were even introduced to and joined our… Read More

Sometimes I go to dog shows and see all the same dog breeds. Sometimes I go specifically to see a specific dog breed. Then there are other times when I go to a dog show and see a breed of dogs I had not seen in my previous visits. Until the last few years I had never even heard of a Berger Picard let alone seen one. I always enjoy being introduced… Read More

I always enjoy how many people gather around to watch the agility dogs show their stuff. You can see all the spectators in the background of the photo. I often shoot close up shots of the dogs during agility so I see in detail the dogs reactions to the agility course. In this photo of the Belgian Tervuren I set it up so there is a nice scenic background showing off the… Read More

Belgian Sheepdogs are beautiful dogs. Jet black fur. A long fluffy coat. Looks luxurious to pet and snuggle. I thought about cropping the photo to remove the person walking along side the dog from the image. But there is something I like about that aspect in the image. The handler walking alongside the Belgian Sheepdog combined with the fence in the background helps to provide a sense of size. The person at… Read More

Watching a dog during an obedience trial is like watching a dog put on a clinic of all the things a dog can do. One of the most interesting things to watch the dogs do is on display in this photo of a Belgian Malinois. For this objective a set of identical objects are laid in the grass. The dogs human keeps one and rubs there hands over it to put their… Read More

The Bedlington Terrier has such an interesting look when groomed for a dog show. The dogs look is reminiscent of a sheep. I don’t think I have seen another breed of dog whose look is anything like the Bedlington Terrier. With the thick fluffy white fur across most of their body then trimmed short along neck, head and ears it is quite the contrast on the body of the Bedlington Terrier. It… Read More

The Beauceron is a beautiful breed. I have not had the pleasure of seeing this breed very often. I hope to see more of the m in the future. It is really nice when there is a breed of dog that I don’t see regularly and I get to see it in both the conformation ring and out on the agility course. Seeing a breed of dog like the Beauceron in more… Read More

Bearded Collie in full extension. There are a lot of features of this photo that I really love. I love the full body profile view. Fully showing the motion of the dogs body. The Bearded Collie with their head held high. Then at the opposite end the tail is held high as well. The foreword leg fully extended at the peak of the dogs stride. The rear leg fully extended backwards. The… Read More
