One of my earliest fascinations with dog breeds focused on what we probably think of mostly as cold weather type dogs, Dogs with thick fluffy fur to protect them from the elements. This fascination grew stronger when I was first introduced to Alaskan Malamutes. I love that they are a large breed of dog and they have that thick luscious fur. It just makes me want to snuggle up to them to… Read More

I think if anyone thinks of dogs show and show dogs and the people who compete in these events we think of dapper and super pretty dolled up dogs. Fine suits. Well groomed dogs. Perfect conditions. Beautiful setting. Well after watching a lot of dog shows I am here to tell you that conformation events at dog shows can get real hard core sometimes. I love outdoor conditions for photography. I think… Read More

I love watching dogs do things that only dogs can do. Running through an agility course at warp speed is right up there. It is especially cool for me when I see a type of dog I don’t normally think of as an agility dog running the course. Of course any dog who has worked at it and been trained can run an agility course, but I bet we all have a… Read More

This photo is of an Afghan Hound whose coat color is black. I thought that was the perfect opportunity to convert the image to black and white to really make the dog stand out. The black and white present I chose to use really created a pop for the dog in the image. The preset rendered almost the entire background white with just a bit of detail remaining. And the dog which… Read More

This photo is a little different than most dog photos I share. It is especially different from most dog show photos I share. I am usually focused on the dogs. I want to isolate and showcase the dogs. That is my singular focus. When I am sharing photos of dogs at dog shows I usually don’t show any aspect of the human at the other end of the leash if I can… Read More

He is around two years old now and he is a big goofy Bernese Mountain Dog. I don’t know if we have ever had a dog who was less aware of his interaction with the world. He has no concept of his body in… Read More

It feels so good to have such a long lived dog in our home. We’ve only shared our lives with one other dog for this long and only one other dog We’ve had has lived to be the same age as Mojo. They both had Husky blood. Mojo has been a presence in our lives for 14 years. And that is exactly how I would describe his involvement in our lives. He’s… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 330. Hope everyone had an enjoyable Thanksgiving yesterday. Colton here was acting like he spent the day gorging at a feast himself. All he could muster for a photo was this wink. You can even see the movement of the muscles around his eyes as he opened and closed them.

One photo a day challenge: Day 274. One of my favorite things about dog shows is watching dogs do things they truly love. The there is the fun challenge of trying to capture those amazing moments with my camera. During agility these dogs look like they are having so much fun. You can just see the joy on this Rottweiler’s face. Clearing the hurdles on the way to the finish line of… Read More

It is one of my favorite times of the year. Dog show time. And after a year of no dog shows it was so nice to be back at my favorite dog show. I spent the entire day from 8 am till after 4 pm photographing the show. And it was still going on when I left. And I didn’t see nearly all there was to see. Its impossible. With Conformation, Rally,… Read More
