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!
