One of the new American Kennel Club breeds introduced at The National Dog Show Presented by Purina in November was the Wirehaired Vizsla. A member of the Sporting Group, the Wirehaired Vizsla is a medium sized hunting dog with a weather-resistant wire coat and recognizable beard and eyebrows. They have an excellent nose for hunting and tracking both on land and in the water. Pretty darn cute, I’d say!

I love watching Afghan Hounds go around the ring with their handler … fur flying in the breeze! Such grace and elegance! This image is from the Lehigh Valley Kennel Club show in Allentown, Pa. last month. I added a painting effect to the image with the Topaz Impressions Photoshop Plugin. It’s fun to have a little extra time on this holiday to be creative!

As we say goodbye to 2014, I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for the privilege of photographing your beautiful dogs and cats throughout this past year. I find so much joy in capturing moments in time with my camera that can never be duplicated and sharing them with you. I look forward to seeing everyone in 2015 and meeting many new furry friends along the way!

I met this adorable Australian Shepherd at the Lehigh Valley Kennel Club show in Allentown, Pa. earlier this month. His/her mom told me that this dog LOVES the camera. Every time she focuses to take a picture, the dog tilts his or her head for a glamour shot! Obviously the camera loves the dog as well …. so very photogenic!

This German Shorthaired Pointer sure knows where handler Cliff Steele keeps his bait. The minute Cliff looks away, she tries to chew through Cliff’s pocket for a snack during breed judging at the Lehigh Valley Kennel Club show in Allentown, Pa. earlier this month. She’s one smart cookie!
