That’s all it took! This Vizsla stole my heart at the Westchester Kennel Club show last weekend. He/she was waiting in the group ring and looking very calm, cool and collected while posing for the camera!

The Westchester Kennel Club show never disappoints. There are lots of entries, many large rings, tours for anyone wanting to learn more about dog shows, David Frei announcing the breeds for Group and Best in Show judging, and enthusiastic crowds! The large size of the rings really stood out to me on Sunday. Its tough to be in the right place at the right time when dogs and handlers are moving around a large ring. I was shooting with my 70-200mm lens and just wasn’t able to get the shots I was looking for, so I added a 1.4 extender. That helped to bring the action in a lot closer. Loving this Colored Bull Terrier!!

I was so happy to visit with my little pal Ozzy at the Bow Wow Pool Party over the weekend. Ozzy is a 5 year old Cockapoo and the most adorable pup ever! I’ve photographed him a number of times and it’s been fun watching him evolve over the years into an Olympic swimmer! At his first visit to the pool party he was a little bit afraid of the water and all of the big dogs that were jumping and splashing. On Saturday, he went right in without a second thought! I love his curly fur and happy-go-lucky personality!

Ship Ahoy Matey! Or should I say Raft Ahoy Matey? Afloat in the deep blue water at JFK Pool in Pottsville, Pa. are two of the cutest pups ever! They were having a high old good time at today’s Bow Wow Pool Party at JFK pool to benefit Hillside S.P.C.A. Watching the dogs swim, float, chase tennis balls and dive into the water is so much fun and this event is one of my favorites of the year! More photos to come…..
