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

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 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

Lure Coursing. I love watching dogs do what they do. This is especially true when dogs use the full potential of what makes them dogs. Watching dogs run full speed. Legs moving as fast as can be in hot pursuit. This is a sight to see. Dogs chasing the lure around a predetermined course. Hot on the tail of the lure. The dogs are so excited and ready to go. Joy and… Read More

One of my favorite aspects of this dog show is that there is always agility competition during the show. If conformation is about making sure dogs are physically healthy then agility is about making sure a dog can be a dog. In agility we see dogs honed. All the crazy things we see our dogs do that amaze us but are often one offs are taken to a new level during agility…. Read More

One thing I love about dog shows is discovering new dog breeds. Having the opportunity to be introduced to new dog breeds and learn more about dogs is one of the best things about dog shows. I like to get the program for the dog show and looking at the Index of Breeds that lists all the different dog breeds that will be at the show and reading all the names to… Read More
