Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen (PBGV) One of the few breeds of dogs I have probably photographed more during agility than in the dog show ring. I don’t know if there are just always a few of them at the conformation event and more at the agility event. Or am I just missing them at conformation and getting lucky to see them at agility. It seems so odd to me, because when you… Read More

The Norwegian Elkhound. I have been so happy to learn about these surprisingly beautiful dogs. At first glance I don’t think I recognized how beautiful a dog they are. But now after being able to photograph them a few times I really adore them. I don’t know if I just got lucky and stumbled on some remarkable individual dogs. Or if I had the perfect confluence of circumstances that created some photographs… Read More

The Norwegian Buhund. This is a really fun look at a dog moving through the agility course. The Norwegian Buhund is running right towards the camera. The view from the camera is right over the top of a tunnel obstacle on the agility course. You can see the Norwegian Buhund running towards it. The Norwegian Buhund has just completed the teeter totter obstacle and is leaping off of that and onto the… Read More

The Labrador Retriever. Not sure I need to say much about the Labrador Retriever. Most of us have a pretty good mental image of a Labrador Retriever. The Labrador Retriever has been the most popular breed in America for 30 years according the to AKC. The representation of a Labrador Retriever that I always conjure is a happy go lucky dog. A dog that was always looking for a fun time. Just… Read More

The Irish Water Spaniel. Running the agility course. The Irish Water Spaniel has cleared the hurdle and is on its way tot he dog walk. Up and across then down the other side. The Irish Water Spaniel is moving from the background of the photo towards the camera. I love the shallow depth of field in this photo due to using the f/2.8. This helps to clearly illustrate that the dog is… Read More

Golden Retriever performing obedience trials. Of all the things I see dogs do at dog shows one that seems the most amazing to me is all the different tasks they can accomplish during obedience training. I think part of why it seems so remarkable is because it seems almost unnatural for a dog. Obedience is all cognition and learning for the dog and human team. In other activities a big part of… Read More

The German Shorthair Pointer is an active and agile dog. Very fitting that they are amongst the sporting group in the AKC. I love the active aspect of a German Shorthair Pointer. I am always looking for a dog that I could run with and this is a dog I could imagine sharing the joy of running with. The look of the German Shorthair Pointer breed is also something that I really… Read More

The Entlebucher Mountain Dog is one of several swiss mountain dog breeds. These dogs are so adorable. I am not sure if I like the Entlebucher Mountain Dog because of the similarities to my favorite breed the Bernese Mountain Dog. Both breeds of dogs have similar colors and markings in their fur. However the Entlebucher Mountain Dog has short fur. The Entlebucher Mountain Dog is very similar in proportion the the Bernese… Read More

One thing that can add an extra layer to any aspect of a dog show is weather. Dog shows pretty much continue as planned no matter what the weather is like. Having a variety of weather can create interesting looks on both the dogs and their human companions. The weather can also make events like agility more complex and interesting. The English Cocker Spaniel is not a breed of dog I have… Read More

The Dogue de Bordeaux is a large dog, a very large dog. The adult weight range for an adult Dogue de Bordeaux starts at 100lbs. They have a thickly built body with a large head. They look like powerful dogs. The Dogue de Bordeaux seems to have a more lumbering presentation. That is why I find it so fascinating to have watched a Dogue de Bordeaux participate in agility competition. If you… Read More
