The legs sport tufts of hair flowing off the back of the legs. And the… Read More

Black and Tan Coonhounds have this sad adorable face. Droopy eyes. Long ears that hang down almost farther than the neck. Saggy jowls that hang down well past the lower jaw. And somehow they still look adorable. The little tuft of brown in the eyebrow gives the face a sense of expression and intention. Photo details: Nikon D300S. Nikon 300mm f/4. Focal length 420mm. ISO 640. 1/160 sec. f/5.6.

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

The Bedlington Terrier has such an interesting look when groomed for a dog show. The dogs look is reminiscent of a sheep.

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
