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 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

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

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
