“I think that Carol has treats in her pocket!  No, I don’t THINK she has treats, I KNOW she has treats!  This isn’t my first time in the dog show ring, ya know, I’m very experienced at this sport!   If I just stay focused long enough…..and keep my eye on her hand (oh and look really cute, too!), the treats will be all mine!   Love, Monty”

Watch for this Bearded Collie, “GCH Ha’Penny Mirimar The Fab Fawn”, on The National Dog Show Presented by Purina this Thursday on NBC right after the Macy’s Parade.  She quickly became a crowd favorite thanks to the energy, fun and excitement she generated in the ring.  Who doesn’t love watching the movement of that beautiful coat as this breed goes around the ring?  She even stopped to take a bow much to the delight of the crowd and handler Greg Strong.

Hey Herding Group fans…..help me out…..is this a Collie puppy or a Sheltie puppy?  All I know is that this is one darn cute and cuddly dog that I photographed at the Palisades Kennel Club show last month in Augusta, NJ!

Meet Jinx, “TK Rocks Tom Foolery”, an Australian Shepherd owned by Tom & Kim Gerard.  Next time I see Jinx I am going to be soooo tempted to just say, “hi jinx”….. get it?  🙂  This is Jinx and Kim at the Devon Kennel Club show last weekend.

… could it be that Yoshi’s got his eyes on whatever is in Tom’s pocket?
