The Dogue de Bordeaux is a large dog, a very large dog. The adult weight range for an adult Dogue de Bordeaux starts at 100lbs. They have a thickly built body with a large head. They look like powerful dogs. The Dogue de Bordeaux seems to have a more lumbering presentation. That is why I find it so fascinating to have watched a Dogue de Bordeaux participate in agility competition. If you… Read More

Growing up my aunt had a Doberman Pinscher. That was my introduction to this breed of dog. I never really had any interaction with any Doberman Pinschers that I can think of since that time. That is until I started attending dog shows. I initially thought that Doberman Pinschers were always black with the brown highlights. Then I discovered they can have mostly dark brown fur with light brown highlights. And then… Read More

Dogs doing agility is always fun. You never know what you are going to get. Watching the dogs move through the course, but you have to be ready to adjust because sometimes the dogs go off script. This Dalmatian wasn’t ready to do the weave poles on this day. They started and stopped a couple times. Then the Dalmatian approached the weave poles from the outside. The dog is giving the weave… Read More

The second dog I ever had was a Longhaired Dachshund. Our dog Rusty, and he looked a lot like the dog in this photo. We had our Longhaired Dachshund, Rusty for a large part of my childhood. He is the first dog I really remember well. I am pretty sure that was where my love affair with dogs began. I will always remember watching our tiny Longhaired Dachshund run across our yard… Read More

To me the Curly-Coated Retriever is one of the more surprising looking retriever breeds. I never expected the tight rings of curls across the entire body of the dog. Especially such a large dog. And it is really set of by how abruptly the curls cease right at the margins of the dogs face. The Curly-Coated Retriever has fur on its face that is short, straight, and flat. Unlike many other breeds… Read More

I was familiar with Collies from my childhood. My cousins had a Collie when we were growing up. She was such a sweet dog. So I knew what to expect when it came to seeing collies at a dog show. Or so I thought. My knowledge of Collies conformed to the classic Lassie look of a Collie we all see in our minds. That was what my cousins’ Collie looked like. Long… Read More

How fluffy do you like your dog? Whenever I have seen them Chow Chow dogs have always been dogs with a lot of fluffy and puffy fur. That hasn’t really changed but it seems like that the last few dog shows I have been at there has been a shift. A mix of two different types of fur for the Chow Chow. I can’t tell if this is a difference in breeding… Read More

As I have mentioned I love big dogs. I really am not a small dog person. The Chihuahua epitomizes the small toy dog. The Chihuahua is everything that I don’t really like about small dogs. However, I totally understand why other people love them. There is a dog for every kind of person. But if you want to turn me around about a particular dog breed. Let me see that breed of… Read More

I have always liked Labrador Retriever type dogs. The Chesapeake Bay Retriever is so reminiscent of that type of dog. Except they have this extra. I remember the first time I saw a Chesapeake Bay Retriever. It wasn’t even at a dog show. Chesapeake Bay Retrievers were part of some exhibit or something that was happening at our county fair. I think I fell in love with them right there. There is… Read More

The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel in the photo is sitting with their human enjoying the dog show with the rest of us. Beautiful long brown hair blowing back across… Read More
