I have so many places that I want to photograph, but I’m always waiting for a nice bright overcast day. Unfortunately, this summer has had very few days without sun. The light at the Lehigh Valley Kennel Club show on Saturday morning was wonderful. No sun glare, no intense shadows … just nice even light for photographing the dogs. I love the sweet expression of this Irish Red & White Setter. This is one of my favorite shots of the day!

A kiss for the PBGV (Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen) after the Owner-Handler Group judging at the Lehigh Valley Kennel Club show on Saturday. I just love this spunky breed!

The first time I saw this Borzoi jump from the dock I was completely unprepared for how high and how far the dog could fly! I had my camera focused on the area where most of the other dogs were jumping and I think the first frame contained only the Borzoi’s legs. The next frame was just a tail. This dog takes dock diving seriously and had some mighty long and very graceful jumps last weekend! It took a lot of tries before I finally got the whole dog in the frame! Amazing!

Here’s another fun image from the weekend dock diving event at Westwind Kennel. This was just after the toy was tossed and the dog is launching from the dock. Both dog and handler are focused on the toy which is in the air and out of frame. These dogs are amazing athletes and so much fun to watch!

What a fun time I had on Saturday at the North America Diving Dogs event at WestWind Kennel to benefit Chesapeake Bay Retriever Relief and Rescue. I met up with my friend Rinn and her pup, Reesie, and new friend Penny and her pup, Shaman, who were competing. (FYI…Rinn is Savannah and Gabriel’s foster mom from Siamese Cat Rescue Center!) Above is Shaman super focused on the toy as she jumps off the dock. Below is chocolate Lab, Reesie, ears in the air and a big smile on her face. These dogs LOVE to dock diving!
