I absolutely love the expression of the dog 3rd from the left.

Classic.

Dog shows are a very interesting spectacle, i've never attended one but always wanted to.

I live in NYC now and didn't know about this, to photograph does it require a permit or can anyone attend?

Nice portraits.
The first dog does not look real, it looks like a teddy bear.
I like the necklace of the second one, so fashion.
The third one seems blasé.
The haircut of the fourth one is incredible.

You did some funny pictures at this show Thanks

Different strokes for different folks. As much a capture of the variety of people as the variety of dogs.

I'm going with #3 here. Beautiful eyes (4) and darling faces (2) plus the matching red hair of the young lady and the pouch's accents make a delightful pair. No doubt I'd prefer the company this pair to the court of the monarch namesake!

#1 is a close second with that totally infectious "happy face" pup that certianly keeps a dimpled smile on the owner's face.

All four shots leave me longing for more of your WKCS "harvest" as each suggests a unique and interesting relationship. (Feet shown separately?)

(Purina) Chao Baby!

Quite the interesting collection... The correlation between the faces of the handlers and the dogs is uncanny.

Wonderful collection. My favorites are the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and the Havanese.
