What goes on “behind the scenes” at a dog show is often as much fun as the action in the ring!  Dogs that win ribbons in the show have the opportunity to have their photo taken with their handler and the judge who awarded them the ribbon.  It’s usually a pretty straightforward process with the photographer directing the handler on where and how to set up the dog for the photo.  Generally the photographer has any number of toys that he tosses off to his left to get the dog to look in that direction and then…..SNAP!….the moment is captured with a photo!  This particular Brittany had an entire entourage of folks who were “helping” the photographer to get the dog to look in the right direction.  Once the scene was set, there were 3 or 4 people with toys all calling the dog’s name, waving their arms – anything to get the pup to look at them.   The dog may have been new to the show scene and in need of the extra help.  It was funny to watch as generally there is not this much fan fare surrounding the photo shoot with the judge!
