If I had to choose only one breed to photograph, hands down (er, paws down!), it would be the Sussex Spaniel! This breed steals my heart every time! This image is from the Chester Valley Kennel Club show on Saturday, May 9, 2015.

I love love love this image of Bernese Mountain Dog, Jolie, and her handler, Kasey! They were in the ring at the Chester Valley Kennel Club show on Saturday when Kasey leaned in to give Jolie a kiss. Jolie has the sweetest expression, don’t you agree?

Meet German Shorthaired Pointer, Rosie, River Run’s Sophisticated Lady. Rosie is the daughter of one of my favorite dogs, Scarlet (GCh. Skypoint’s Our River Runs Free), who is now retired from the ring and enjoying a life of leisure in Vermont! Rosie and handlers Cliff Steele and Laura Kieffer had a great weekend at the Bucks County and Trenton Kennel Club Shows! I look forward to watching her walk in her mommy’s paw-steps!

Outdoor dog shows in Spring can often be hit or miss weather-wise, but this past weekend was picture perfect in Pennsylvania for the Bucks County Kennel Club show. It’s one of my favorite shows of the year with lots of dogs, spectators, and photo opportunities! Here’s Greg Strong with the Lowchen in the Non-Sporting Group judging.

You bet I entice Brewster and Savannah with treats when it’s photo time at our house! I also reward them with treats when we’ve had a fun photo session! Catnip toys, toys with bells, feathers, treats….they all work to get their attention for a picture! Treats (a.k.a. bait) are also a favorite of the handlers at dog shows so why not use someone else’s treats to your advantage for a photo? This Schipperke (dang I have trouble spelling this breed’s name!) is looking at the handler’s hand and treat while I’m on the other side capturing the moment.
