If you love dogs with fur the Keeshond is for you. The Keeshond is a beautiful fluffy fur ball of a dog. Long luxurious fur that puffs out in all directions. The Keeshond’s face is the only place where the long fur subsides and that brings great detail to the eyes, nose, and mouth of the dog. And it allows the colors of Keeshond’s face to stand out more. The subtle shifts… Read More

I love big dogs. I really love giant dogs. And the Irish Wolf Hound is a different kind of giant dog. A lot of giant sized dogs are giant sized because they have huge thick muscular bodies and enormous heads. These dogs are massive because they have a lot of mass. The Irish Wolf Hound is the streamlined version of a giant sized dog. Nothing about an Irish Wolf Hound looks enormous… 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

The Irish Setter. One thing I really like in dogs is distinguishing features. While the Irish Setter as a breed is distinct from other breeds individuals within the breed look very similar. To my unfamiliar eye they look almost the smae. Walking up to a show ring full of Irish Setters is like meeting identical twins except multiplied by a factor of 10. I know that if they were dogs I had… Read More

The Greater Swiss Mountain Dog. I love these huge tri color dogs. They share the same coloration as my beloved Bernese Mountain Dogs. The Greater Swiss Mountain Dog has short hair in contrast to the Bernese Mountain Dog’s long fur. Both breeds are about the same height. But the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog generally carries more weight on their frame. They are pretty thick powerful looking dogs. The Greater Swiss Mountain Dog… Read More

Big fluffy dogs? Yes pleas. That is exactly what the Great Pyrenees is. I am not usually a fan of all white dogs. However the Great Pyrenees has one feature that really draws me to them. I mean in addition to the big fluffy gorgeousness that is. The Great Pyrenees often have this very subtle color to them. Usually the color manifests as a light coloration around the head and face. It… Read More

The Great Dane is probably one of the breeds of dogs I have photographed the most. They are a beautiful breed of dog and I am drawn to them for their size. I have a lot of images of Great Danes that I love. But for a dog that is known for its size I really wanted to try to show an image that gives a good sense of just how big… Read More

The Gordon Setter. I have not photographed the Gordon Setter very often. I only have around 200 images in my archives of the Gordon Setter. But I still have managed to capture some images I really like. I like this image of the Gordon Setter walking towards the camera. Head up. Looking forward. Tail visible and raised high in the background. This image shows of the Gordon Setter’s fur well too. The… 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
