“If you think dogs can’t count, try putting three dog biscuits in your pocket and then giving Fido only two of them.”

This is one of those images that makes me wonder what was happening at the time it was taken. It was at a dog show last year, but I don’t know the person or the dog. Was the dog waiting to go in the ring? Was the boy saying a silent prayer that the dog does well and wins a ribbon? Are they both tired from a long day and just resting? We’ll never know, but it’s an awfully sweet photo of two best friends!

Here is the same image as posted yesterday of the Xoloitzcuintli, only this version has the lead removed. Like it better?
Below is another image of this dog moving around the ring at the Westchester Kennel Club show last summer. I can hardly wait for “outdoor dog show season”!

I debated on whether to remove the lead in this image of the Xoloitzcuintli. It isn’t a necessary part of the image, however, it is apparent that the dog has something around its neck. In the end, I decided to keep the lead as I lean toward natural images with just basic editing (contrast, sharpness, etc.) The background in this image was very light as the dog was backlit on a sunny day and so I removed the background altogether just to keep the image clean and uncluttered. This is, after all, a very streamlined dog and I wanted a crisp image to show off the breed’s unique look! Who loves the Xolo?

In yesterday’s post I showed an image of this handler and dog and asked if you could guess which breed it is based on just seeing the paws. Guesses on Facebook included Pug, Corgi, and Shiba Inu. Those of you who thought it was a Pug were “Pawsatively” correct! Here’s the cute pug mug that goes along with those sweet paws!
