Highly recommended reading is the book by Josh Dean titled “Show Dog – The Charmed Life and Trying Times of a Near-Perfect Purebred”.  Josh spent a year with Australian Shepherd, Jack, traveling to dog shows and meeting his human and canine friends to learn what it’s like to own and handle a show dog.  It’s a wonderful story!  Look for it at your favorite bookseller!   The blog image is of an Australian Shepherd taken at the Devon Kennel Club Show in Pennsylvania.  Now I can’t help but wonder if I’ve ever seen or photographed Jack in my travels….hmmm!
