Say hello to the wire-coated Portuguese Podengo Pequeno! This is the national dog of Portugal and they don’t come any cuter than this! They were used by Portuguese farmers as a rabbit hunting dog and are very playful and active! I am in love with this little furry face!

Photographers are always on the lookout for repeating patterns to photograph. An interesting quote on the topic written by David Peterson is: “Patterns are to photography, what rhythm is to music. Repeating patterns, if captured the right way, strengthen an image. Ten pillars on a porch, a hundred umbrellas on the beach, a thousand bricks on a wall and a million petals on a field… repetition takes on a life of its own.” I think I hit the jackpot with patterns in this image!

Yes, I absolutely see a handler gently touching his dog’s tail. I also see 1/2 of a heart. What do you see? Do you know what breed this is? The image is from the Chester Valley Kennel Club Show on Saturday, May 9, 2015 – Ludwig’s Corner, Pa.

I remember it like it was yesterday. Sitting ringside at the show, with my 70-200mm lens, taking close ups while the dogs were being examined by the judge. All of them poised and putting their best paw forward! It’s so much fun to have a connection to the dog show community and have the opportunity to see and photograph so many wonderful canines!
