What is there to say about the mejestiic breed of dog that is the Bernese Mountain Dog? My wife and I first learned that Bernese Mountain Dogs existed when we attended our first dog show back in 2008. Ever since we first laid eyes on them we have been fascinated by the breed. When we bought our first and current home over 15 years ago we wanted to get a Bernese Mountain… Read More

Of all the things I love about dogs it is simply watching dogs be dogs that makes me most happy. And firmly in that category is seeing what dogs and their humans are capable of together. Dogs and humans bring out the best in each other. Obedience I am always dumbfounded when I watch dogs in the obedience trials. When I see a dog sit and stay while their human just walks… Read More

One of my favorite things about a dog show is that there are always opportunities to learn. So many knowledgeable people to talk to about dogs. Different kinds of dogs. Different kinds of people. Doing different kinds of things with their dogs. Everyone leading different lives with different life experiences to draw from. Learning starts with seeing. An introduction. Something you never knew. Finding out that something exists that you were hitherto… Read More

The more time I spend at dog shows the more dog breeds I am introduced to and learn more about. The more dog breeds I fall in love with. But the one breed that has really has captured our hearts forever is the Bernese Mountain Dog. Bernese Mountain Dogs are in a lot of ways the optimal dog. They are large dogs but not overwhelmingly so. A Bernese Mountain Dog has energy… Read More

September is once of my favorite months of the year. One reason it is a favorite is that one of my favorite events of the year takes place at the end of the month. The last weekend of September features the Wine Country Circuit Dog Show.

I love dogs. It’s no secret. We have shared our lives with many dogs over the yers. Then there are the times we go out specifically seeking to put more dogs into our lives. One way we do this is by going to dog shows. There are always so many amazing and beautiful dogs there.

I always advocate for photographing what you love. One of the things I love most and that bring me the most joy are the animals I share my life with. We have been fortunate to fill our home with so many dogs and even cats over the years. They have all been a prominent part of my photography. I often take my dogs outside in the yard and play with them and… Read More

We didn’t have Sammy for long at all. But he packed a lot of love into that short time. Sammy loved us so much. He did manage to put together some adventures during our short time.

I always wanted a Husky. Then we had one. Now we have had Mojo the Husky for 14 years. Mojo has been with us longer than all but one dog that we have had. Mojo is such an odd dog, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world. He often just wants to be alone. But he has been more affectionate in his old age. I love this high contrast portrait I… Read More

We stopped to enjoy the… Read More
