Lately, the young guns of the dog show industry have been sounding the battle cry. “Can everyone please stop photoshopping dogs?” While I usually try to ignore those posturing for a voice within the community, the most recent one hit close to home as its author asked publicly why two photographers can record the same dog and the resulting images look so different. My photograph of a dog was the owner’s second attempt at getting what she wanted. Understanding the breed, and having a vision of what I wanted caused my image to look very different than those created by the original photographer. And so, I believe it beneficial to explain both the misused terminology and the evolution of a cultural phenomenon within our dog sport.

by Lisa Dubé Forman Originally published: November 2012 Nearly all of us have exhibited at a dog show and brought something unexpected home with us, and I am not talking about a Group or Best In Show rosette.

The Spinone Italiano is unique or, shall I say, just plain different from other breeds in so many ways, and one of those ways–a very important way–is its croup, tail set and tail carriage.

My first introduction to “the greats” of our sport was a little unconventional. It was in Lakeland, Florida, I was twelve, and said “greats” were stuck on-site in a motorhome. They were also desperately in need of two cart-fulls of groceries to celebrate their recent Best in Show wins. My mentor and I divided and conquered–each taking a cart and scrambling around the store to collect what they needed. I remember pulling up to the massive truck, trailer, and what seemed to be thirty or more x-pens. I was enamored; I’d never met one of my idols before. They thanked us generously, and we went on our way, but in just those few moments, I knew I needed to play a role in an operation like that one. I would, just three years later, go on to work for them and continue to shop for those Best in Show dinners. Sometimes, I wonder what would have happened to me if they hadn’t asked for my help that day. Would I have ever felt like learning from them was possible?
