I think if I was ever going to have a small dog I think it would be a Corgi. And I like dogs with long fluffy tails. So that makes the Cardigan Welsh Corgi the obvious choice. If you look at the Cardigan Welsh Corgi they look like an average sized dog who just got put on the wrong set of legs. The head body and tail of the Cardigan Welsh Corgi… Read More

The Cane Corso is a cool looking dog. They have a variety to their size and stature. Their coat color is pretty variable as well. But to me it seems like they almost have two distinct presentations. There is the beatific look and the tough guy look. Some of the Cane Corsos I see at dog shows look sweet and calm and gentle. They look like they would be peaceful lap dogs…. Read More

I can’t really nail it down, but the Canaan Dog really fascinates me. I don’t really know much about them. But every time I see a Canaan Dog at a dog show I can imagine that they are a dog I would enjoy having in my home. They are a good medium sized dog. The Canaan Dog always seems so alert and happy. And they seem like an active type dog I… Read More

Cairn Terrier. Small. Wiry hair. They have an almost bristly looking face. Like it would feel like hair brush. I like this shade of brown of coat color this dog has. This Cairn Terrier has good focus. They are paying attention to their handler even as the show judge is walking towards them. The judge is approaching the Cairn Terrier to examine them and see how closely the dog conforms to breed… Read More

The Bullmastiff is a large strong muscular looking dog. Not the largest or heaviest of the large breed dogs, but they might be the biggest bang for your buck. The Bullmastiff has a thick sturdy frame. And that frame is packed thick with muscles. As large as they are they still manage to look graceful. Look at this photo of a Bullmastiff trotting across the show ring. As the Bullmastiff is moveing… Read More

The Bulldog. I don’t really know what else to say. I think for most people when you see or hear the word Bulldog an image instantly pops into your head. Short stocky legs. Thick strong bodies. Large heads. Wrinkled faces. Big Mouths. All Jowls. Most dogs the height of a Bulldog do not have the thick bodies and legs they have. Short dogs are usually more petite. Not sure anyone is just… Read More

The Brussels Griffon is a toy breed of dog. They are quite small. Weighing in at the 8-10 lb. range. That is smaller than cats I have had. Their wiry coat gives the Brussels Griffon a distinct look to match its personality. The way the wiry hair protrudes from its face is definitely a look. One thing I enjoy about photographing smaller breeds of dogs is that it can be easier to… Read More

The Brittany is a medium sized high energy sporting type dog. They generally have a pretty consistent look to them. The Brittany’s fur is mostly white with patches of brown. The brown color can come in different shades. Check out this little Brittany with their tong just barely sticking out. Photo details: Nikon D300S. Nikon 300mm f/4. Focal length 420mm. ISO 400. 1/640 sec. f/5.6.

Long haired dogs always look so amazing. The Briard beautifully groomed to show itself off during the dog show. I love to look at these dogs but I would not be the ideal owner for a long haired dog. I do not have the attention to detail, patience and consistency required to keep the beautiful long hair of the Briard groomed properly. One of the things I enjoy most about watching these… Read More

The Boxer is probably one of the more familiar breeds of dogs to be found at a dog show. The Boxer being a pretty distinct looking dog is one that would probably be recognized by many dog lovers who are not as obsessed with attending dog shows as I am. Medium to large sized dogs they have a strong muscular look to them. The Boxer has a more typically seen look as… Read More
