Watching the end of a group competition in conformation is fun and exciting. Seeing the dogs the judge selects as they form their short list of top candidates for the win. The dogs and handlers line up and show their stuff one last time for the judge. Then the judge selects the best dog in the group. I love it when the handlers and dogs react to the win with joy and… Read More

The Standard Schnauzer. Most people would probably think of the Standard Schnauzer as a show dog competing in conformation at a dog show. I love seeing dogs turn that on its head. Seeing dogs do something other than what one might expect is a joy. I don’t think I have had the good fortune of seeing a Standard Schnauzer compete in Obedience Trails other than this one time. It is cool to… Read More

The Standard Poodle. When I say poodle I know what image instantly comes to mind. It is the same for me. It is what we all imagine. We all see that immaculately groomed Standard Poodle. Hair blown out into big puffballs. A look that seems to serve no purpose. Our perception of the Standard Poodle is heavily influenced by what we see. To our minds this image makes usd think of the… Read More

The Staffordshire Bull Terrier. This is a breed of dog that has really grown on me over the years. I was never sure what to make of this and similar breeds of dogs. Spending time volunteering at our local shelter and seeing first hand and interacting with terrier mixes similar to these dogs really shaped me. Then having our own terrier mix at home for several years now really cemented it. The… Read More

The Spinone Italiano. These dogs are just so cute. I absolutely adore them. It makes me sad that I have seen them so seldom. I don’t even have that many photographs of them in my archives. Fewer than 200 images of the Spinone Italiano. That’s not the fewest I have of any breed of dog, but it is significantly lower than many. Especially for a breed of dog that I find so… Read More

The Saint Bernard. This is my favorite type of image to capture. Moments of people with their dogs. Those simple times we spend just being in the presence of our amazing dogs that we love so much. I was happy to be able to capture an image of this person siting with their old Saint Bernard just relaxing and watching the dog show. Photo details: Nikon D300. Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8. Focal length… Read More

The Siberian Husky. I think Siberian Huskies are some of the happiest dogs. They just always look happy. In every single photo that I take. I have always loved Siberian Huskies. I always wanted to have one. I have now been fortunate enough to share my home with one for the last 14 years. But that does not dull my joy and excitement at seeing them at dog shows. I still love… Read More

The Shiba Inu. Shiba Inus are beautiful dogs. They are another breed of dog I have come to enjoy seeing at dog shows. However, the Shiba Inu does not seem to be one of the more popular dogs at dog shows. I love the looks of the Shiba Inu but it seems in watching them at dog shows that they can be a bit feisty. I love the way the shades of… Read More

The Shetland Sheepdog. Shetland Sheepdogs are super athletic little dogs. I have watched Shetland Sheepdogs make quick work of many agility courses. Shetland Sheepdogs seem to be one of the breeds most frequently entered in agility competitions and when you see them perform you can understand why. When you watch a dog compete in agility sometimes everything happens so fast that you can’t really notice the details. That is one thing I… Read More

The Scottish Terrier. This image really accentuates the size, or lack there of, of the Scottish Terrier. The length of a Scottish Terrier’s body is about one strides length. In this photo you can see that the head of the Scottish Terrier barely rises as high as the handlers knee. So that gives us an idea of how tall the Scottish Terrier is. Photo details: Nikon D300S. Nikon 300mm f/4. Focal length… Read More
