The best Terrier of the day at the Hunterdon Hills Kennel Club show in NJ earlier this month was the Kerry Blue, “GCH Class Act By Hallsblu”, a.k.a. “Jack”.

Trader and his entourage have been racking up a good number of Best in Show’s this year – congrats to all!  Hopefully I will catch up with them at a show soon.  It’s been too long!

I love a dog with a great smile.  Oh heck, I love all dogs – smile or no smile!  🙂

What’s the best light for dog show photography?  Bright overcast.  Sun is definitely not your friend when it comes to outdoor pet photography.  Yesterday dawned cloudy with a threat of showers, but the rain held off and the light made for super nice photos at the dog show.  There are still the challenges faced by shooting both under a tent where there is less light and out in the open rings, so the need to change settings frequently is a way of life, but I couldn’t have been happier with yesterday’s weather.

I finally was able to go to a dog show this weekend and take some photos.  What a great feeling to see my friends again – both 2 legged and 4 legged!  It’s been a long time and thankfully my elbow held up throughout the day.  This photo is from the Hunterdon Hills Kennel Club show in Ringoes, NJ.  What a sweet moment in the ring between dog and handler!  I’ll post more photos from the show all this week!
