Beagles in a lot of ways seem like the quintessential dog. They are probably one of the most familiar dog breeds. They are a medium to small sized dog. A Beagle’s long floppy ears just scream adorable pup. When you see a Beagle you just see a dog. There is no particularly distinct feature in looking at a Beagle that draws the eye. The dog in the photograph is just happily trotting… Read More

Basset Hounds are adorably goofy looking dogs if you ask me. The Basset Hound has ears that are longer than its legs. That really does not bode well for a gracefully moving dog like I imagine. Lots of loose saggy baggy skin all over the body. Face with skin and jowls hanging loose. Feet that seem larger than a dog of that stature would require. Basset Hounds seem to lumber along with… Read More

Dogs in action doing things. That is always great to see. It creates great photos. But one aspect that is less often seen and even harder to photograph is the quiet moments. The moments shared between a dog and their people. For me the close quiet moments are more indicative of what life with a dog is like for me. I love this photo of a Basenji being held by its human….

I personally love big dogs. I don’t know if I would ever want a small dog at home. But a lot of little dogs have very interesting looks. Little dog. Tall pointed ears. Long fur. Thick looking fur. The fur even looks stiff and course. However I have never had an opportunity to pet one of these cool looking dogs to find out. I can’t say enough how fun dog shows are… Read More

One of my long time loves when it comes to dog breeds has been the Australian Shepherd. This is one dog breed I always dream about sharing my home with. But if it is going to happen it has to be jus tthe right time. Australian Shepherds are highly intelligent and highly energetic. That makes them great at doing things like agility with the proper training. Proper training, exercise, and jobs are… Read More

Australian Cattle Dogs are such cool looking dogs. They seem to have just a unique blend of characteristics. Thick medium length fur. An awesome speckled to merle coloration. But it seems to only come in two varieties that I have seen. The blue merle like color pictured below and a red color. They have pointy attentive ears. A thick rounded snout. And at the other end a pretty unique looking tail. A… Read More

Some dog breeds you fall in love with on first contact with. Some you slowly warm up to and develop this deep affectionate feeling for. At first I wasn’t sure if the American Staffordshire Terrier was a breed I liked. Repeated exposure has really softened me up to these dogs. It helps when you have experience in shelters, adopt a amstaff mix type dogs, and are able to help some handlers at… Read More

Going to dog shows has introduced me to so many different breeds of dogs. And even at dog shows I don’t see them very often. One such dog is the American English Coonhound. As a person that is really drawn to visuals one of the first thing that draws me to different dogs and dog breeds is often their look. Who doesn’t love a gorgeous dog? I really like the look of… Read More

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
