Several times over the past few days I’ve been asked what breed I would have if I were to adopt a dog.  Wow…what a very tough decision that would be for me!  I love SO many breeds!  I think that I could narrow it down to a breed from the Toy or Sporting Groups.  I love the idea of a small dog but my most favorite breeds are sporting dogs….spaniels and retrievers.  The Welsh Springer Spaniel would definitely be a top consideration!  I love their happy personalities, beautiful long coats, and the fact that they love to be with their people!  (This image was taken at the Gloucester Kennel Club show on Saturday, Oct. 18, 2014 in Buena, NJ)

I couldn’t resist filling the frame with this Samoyed close up at yesterday’s show in Buena, NJ.  (Gloucester Kennel Club)  What a sweet face!

Rainy days are made for sunshiny yellow galoshes!  Doesn’t this pup look adorable?  Very stylish indeed!  We had over 3.60″ of rain in my neck of the woods today and it’s still coming down!  It’s a good day to stay inside where it’s warm and cozy and our pets will keep us company!  Oh, a nice bowl of hot soup would be perfect, too!

Just one nose-length away from a bite of Halloween cake at the Montgomery County Kennel Club show last weekend.  “If only this lead, or my legs, were longer!”

There are various types of competitions at a dog show:  conformance, obedience, junior handling, etc.  This photo shows the winners of the Brace competition at the Montgomery County Kennel Club show in Blue Bell, Pa. on Sunday.  In the Brace class, two dogs show together and both must conform to the breed standard and also look and move as one.  All of the Brace teams were wonderful and fun to photograph!
