Dog Show Photography
Show win photos are important for many reasons and the reasons will vary from one exhibitor to another. Chief among the reasons is the fact that they preserve history while it is being made. How many owners want the photos of the first point, the majors and when their dog becomes a new champion? It is an educated guess, but I guess many, and you can count me among them.

The Big E – ‘E’ternity
A few weeks ago we noticed that Maxine, our sixteen year-old ruby Cavalier known as Max, started slowing down. She was sleeping longer and deeper, requiring greater effort going up the two steps leading to the dog suite, and eating her food without the usual delight. If she needed to go outside, her strident plea required a fast response. Once she was in the courtyard, she speedily attended to her needs and demanded to come in “now!” A big change was that she came in with wet skirts. A recent difficulty supporting her back legs was becoming obvious. Her sixteen happy, healthy years was truly starting to show.

Things That Bug You in the Field
I was sitting around a few days ago with some non-hunting pals of mine and one asked me what I found most dangerous or annoying when I was hunting or training the dog. Bears, he suggested? Nope. Haven’t seen a bear since I quit hunting ruffed grouse in the northwoods 30 years ago. Snakes, maybe? Not in my part of the country. All the snakes here are benign. Mud? Nah, that’s just something you deal with. “Well, what then,” he asked? The answer is simple. Bugs! There are things out there whose thirst for human blood transcends mine for fine wine and medium rare Chateaubriand or Maine lobster.
