Have you ever seen a more innocent face?  I mean EVER?  This Sussex Spaniel could chew my favorite pair of shoes every single day and I would just go out and buy a new pair every time!   I LOVE this breed!!

I adore the Clumber Spaniel!  How can you resist this sweet face, floppy ears, and cotton swab of a tail?  Watching them romp around a show ring is pure joy for me!

I must say that I was feeling a little rusty yesterday at the dog show.  It’s been 4 months since I last photographed a show and I was certainly happy to be ringside with my camera again.  I loved visiting with friends – both dog and human – and I came home with some new images that I love!  Here’s a photo from the junior handler ring…a kiss for the winner!

Sending best wishes to David Frei tonight on his final Westminster broadcast.  My interest in dog shows developed from watching Westminster year after year on TV and listening to David’s commentary about each of the breeds.  I always dreamed of attending a dog show one day … never realizing that there were many in my area that I didn’t even know about!  What a thrill to finally attend my first show in Harrisburg, Pa. in 2006 and meeting not only Westminster winner, Colored Bull Terrier “Rufus” (Ch Rocky Top’s Sundance Kid), but David Frei as well!  I wish him the best in his future projects with NBC and will absolutely miss his golden voice on future Westminster broadcasts.  (Photo:  Calling All Dogs Walk – 2015 / Grace, David & Angel)
