The handler shown in this image always wears a straw hat with a pretty colored scarf around it that matches her outfit.  I apologize for not knowing her name, but she always wears such pretty clothes in the ring.  This particular day she wore a turquoise and green flowing skirt and turquoise jacket.  I had just the right textured background to blend with her outfit and showcase the Belgian Malinois in this image.  For me, the straw hat in the corner totally makes this image!  Not to mention that it’s the same coloring as the dog, who just happens to be adorable!

I always think of Koalas when I see this breed, The Pumi.  It’s those ears!  How cute is this dog?  The Pumi is a Hungarian herding breed that originated in the 17th or 18th century.  Their coat is 50% soft hair and 50% harsher hair – all the same length.  I would love to pet one some day!  Hopefully I will see them at an upcoming show!

Whether you and your dog are home on the couch, at the park, walking in the city, or at a top notch dog show, by all means, enjoy every moment with your best friend!
