Doesn’t this English Cocker Spaniel have the most expressive eyes?  This image was taken last summer at the Chester Valley Kennel Club show in Pennsylvania.  The ear wraps are put on the dog to keep their ears clean and neat so they are in tip top grooming condition when they enter the show ring.  I’m really looking forward to a busy month of March with several weekends of dog event photography lined up!  Just as a side note, I have a TON of images from shows in 2012 {and earlier} so if you are looking for a shot of your dog, get in touch with me….you’d be surprised at the treasures I might find in my archives!

Congratulations to Team Banana Joe, a.k.a. “Joey”, (GCH Banana Joe V Tani Kazari) on winning Best in Show at the Westminster Kennel Club last night!  It’s been a pleasure watching and photographing you for the past several years!  Happy retirement little guy!

America’s Dog Show – Westminster – is right around the corner!  Plan to watch both nights – February 11th and 12th – to see the Group and Best in Show judging.  Here’s a link to the TV schedule on CNBC and USA Network:  http://www.westminsterkennelclub.org/2013/show/tv.html   Last year’s TV viewing audience averaged over 2.6 million for the live telecast of the two nights of the show.  Here’s one of my photos of the 2012 Best in Show, “Malachy”, (Gr. Ch. Palacegarden Malachy) from a shoot I did with him last March.  Who will win Best in Show in 2013?

Here’s one more image from the lake during yesterday’s fog.  I’m not sure how thick the ice is, but I didn’t see any signs where folks had been ice fishing or ice skating.  Sometimes people even ride snowmobiles across the frozen lake.  I think I’ll stay on shore with my camera, thank you!
