Monday Morning Sneak Peeks
Ah, the sights and sounds of a dog show - how I love them! My first conformation show of 2013, the Orange Empire Dog Club "Orange Classic" in San Bernardino, California. On Saturday I sat ringside (braving a bit of rain) for the following breeds/classes: German Shorthaired Pointers, Obedience Open B, Swedish Vallhund, Finnish Lapphund, German Shepherd Dog, Collie (Smooth), Collie (Rough), Brittany, German Wirehaired Pointer, Vizsla and some random candids. Sunday found me enjoying the English Springer Spaniels and "my" breed, the Cocker Spaniels (ASCOB and Parti). A private shoot with Layla took me away from the Black variety this show. I had high hopes to be ringside at some of the indoor breeds, but the loaner camera that is supposed to rock the indoor lighting didn't pan out this time. Ringside Candids should be online and ready to go by this Friday in their own galleries at

Have you heard about the Traveling Tennis Ball (II)? A group of international Border Terrier friends have a specially marked tennis ball, affectionately known as the TTBII (the orginal TTB went through the Bermuda Triangle of a postal system and was never heard from again, so it was reincarnated). The TTBII travels the world and is seen through photographs enjoying all sorts of local tourist spots. It is currently being hosted by my roommate (you can find her
on FaceBook - ask her to add you to the TTBII FaceBook group, if you are interested - tell her DogBreedz sent you). I get to participate as Official SoCal Photographer - fun!
That's it for this past week's sneak peeks - enjoy the photos and let me know what happened over your weekend. Hug a dog for me!
