Bucks County Kennel Club, Erwinna, PA – May 2013
Delaware Valley Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier Club, Inc. (Specialty Show)

This is American Staffordshire Terrier, “GCH An Garda Deja Vu Looking At You” photographed at the Bucks County Kennel Club show in Erwinna, Pa. in May.  I love to photograph this dog – he’s simply stunning and he was Best of Breed that day at Bucks.  If anyone can clue me in as to whether there is a good place to look online for the dogs’ call names, I’d appreciate it.

Love this happy Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier … and a pretty choice in clothing by the handler!
Bryn Mawr Kennel Club  – June 2013

Here’s Norfolk Terrier “Ryder”, “GCH. Yarrow Venerie Ticket to Ride”, with handler Roxanne Sutton at the Bryn Mawr Kennel Club show last weekend.  Roxanne was wearing the prettiest summer dress and it just flowed in the breeze as she and Ryder went around the ring.  I like that the dress adds an “artsy” flair to this image.  I cropped off some of the bottom of the photo where there was just more grass, but  my intent in photographing was to capture the movement of the dog and the movement of the pretty colorful dress.  I admire all of the handlers for looking so nice despite some often less than perfect conditions.  The weather was great at Ludwig’s Corner, but there was a lot of mud under the tents.  My poor white sneakers – even after scrubbing – are still a little rough looking! 

There are models, and then there are super models!  I specifically remember taking this photo at the Bucks County Kennel Club show last month.  I was wandering through the tents and the West Highland White Terriers were being groomed and getting ready to show.  This little pup saw me coming with the camera, sat up perfectly straight on the grooming table, looked right at me and almost begged to have his/her photo taken!  The owner said that he or she is a real ham!  How could I resist?
