Doesn’t this German Shorthaired Pointer have a look of pride and confidence?  You can really tell that he loves showing!  That’s one of the things that I love about watching dog shows — seeing the dogs having fun in the ring and the joy on their faces!  This guy looks really determined to beat all of the other sporting dogs for a group first ribbon!  I do have one little comment though.  My friends and I felt that the handler’s skirt ‘clashed’ with the coat of the dog to the point that it was distracting.  You can see the pink patterned skirt in this image.  Not such a good match with a brown and white spotted dog!  What do you think?  [My apologies to the handler!]
