Imagine what it must be like to be a toy dog and have to look up so high to see everyone around you! This is Rodger, “GCH Yakee Easily Persuaded” – one of my most favorite dogs to photograph! He’s in the ring at the Twin Brooks Kennel Club Show in Morristown, NJ last weekend with owner/handler David Fitzpatrick who often gives him a “people’s eye view” as he carries Rodger to his spot in the ring. As a photographer I probably shouldn’t have “favorites” (or at least I shouldn’t admit that I have favorites!!) but heck I’m human and I do …. love you Rodger!

Love this image of the Chinese Shar-Pei admiring the ribbon he or she won at the Twin Brooks Kennel Club show in Morristown, NJ last weekend! Do you think your show dog knows when he or she has won a ribbon?

I met this trio at the Twin Brooks Kennel Club show in Morristown, NJ over the weekend. They are Belgian Tervurens and if I remember correctly, their owner told me that they are 3 generations! Super models I say …. all 3 of them! This could be one of my most favorite photos of 2013! Aren’t they gorgeous?!

From a photography standpoint, the William G. Mennen Sports Arena in Morristown, NJ is a fun location for a dog show! The show is held on a hockey rink with arena seating on two sides. This is a bonus for spectators, weary handlers, and dogs alike! Most often there are no seats at a dog show so this was like winning the lottery where seating is concerned! I loved this scene with the handler and her Pumi relaxing before their ring time. Is this not the cutest dog? The Pumi is a Hungarian herding breed and they are very energetic and like to have a job to do! This Pumi’s job was to look adorable for a photo! His name is “Abiqua Herceg”.
