These two look very sweet and innocent, but something tells me that they are secretly plotting a new adventure that involves mischief!

I love this breed – the Australian Terrier.  They were introduced in the U.S. in the 1940’s and officially recognized by the AKC in 1960.  I always say that I would love to have a dog when I eventually retire.  This would be another breed that would be on my top 10 list.  Brewster and Savannah would love a Terrier to chase around the house.  Or…would it be the other way around?

It only happens once every 5 years.  The Morris and Essex Kennel Club dog show dates back to 1927 when Mrs. Geraldine Rockefeller Dodge hosted a dog show on her property in Madison, NJ.   Today, antique cars, an art show, period clothing, a huge entry, beautiful show grounds, and the top dogs in the world all contribute to this very special event.  The 2015 show was the 2nd largest dog show ever held in the United States.  It was an incredibly fun day!  Kudos to M&E President Wayne Ferguson on a spectacular show!  This image embraces the show’s charm…it was all about the hats and the dogs at Morris and Essex!
