The Rhodesian Ridgeback. I love Rhodesian Ridgebacks. For me they are just about the perfect combination of size and agility. The Rhodesian Ridgeback is a large dog that is also strong and muscular looking. But not only that they can get around and move. I love that they are known for being dogs that guard animals against lions. As a runner the fact that they have a great deal of endurance is… Read More

Redbone Coonhound I love the shade of color that the fur of the Redbone Coonhound has. It is just magnificent. And I love this photo for a very similar reason. I admittedly do not always pay a lot of attention to the handlers at dog shows I am photographing. I am 90% there for the dogs. The people don’t often figure into things for me. But when I saw this handler come… Read More

The Puli. This is the other dog breed that I am aware of that has chorded fur. The Puli is much small than the Komondor, however. And where the Komondor is generally white, the Puli is often black. I like this photo because it gives a good sense of motion. The fur is blown back off the Puli’s face as it moves. The motion of the moving fur reveals the Puli’s eye… Read More

The Pointer. Sleek muscular dog. Moving across the show ring. I love this dogs brown eyes. I also enjoy the very subtle spots of just noticeable color mixed into the white fur covering most of the Pointer’s body. The black sign in the background threw off the exposure for this image a bit. The black sign had good detail but the white fur of the dog was overexposed. I used a preset… Read More

Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen (PBGV) One of the few breeds of dogs I have probably photographed more during agility than in the dog show ring. I don’t know if there are just always a few of them at the conformation event and more at the agility event. Or am I just missing them at conformation and getting lucky to see them at agility. It seems so odd to me, because when you… Read More

The Pembroke Welsh Corgi. I am mostly a big dog person. I love big dogs. The kind of dogs I want to share my home with a mostly big dogs. Most of the dogs we have lived with have been dogs in the 80-100+ pound weight range. But if I was going to have a small dog, I sometimes think that maybe a Pembroke Welsh Corgi would be the one. They are… Read More

If you love dog fur. Dogs with huge poofy fluffy hair. If that is your thing. You definitely need to see the Old English Sheep Dog. The Old English Sheep Dog has so much fur their body almost loses all definition. At a dog show, when an Old English Sheep Dog rolls into the ring its a giant fur poof of a body with a giant puff of hair head and a… Read More

The Nova Scotia Duck-Tolling Retriever. I often think about finding a dog that I can run with. So part of the key to that is finding a dog that likes to be active. And it is important to find a dog that is trainable. Watching the Nova Scotia Duck-Tolling Retriever move through an agility course demonstrates taht this breed has both of those qualities. As evidenced by the mud spattered all over… Read More

The Norwegian Elkhound. I have been so happy to learn about these surprisingly beautiful dogs. At first glance I don’t think I recognized how beautiful a dog they are. But now after being able to photograph them a few times I really adore them. I don’t know if I just got lucky and stumbled on some remarkable individual dogs. Or if I had the perfect confluence of circumstances that created some photographs… Read More
