Last weekend my husband and I went to a dog show in Valley Center, CA, to take a closer look at some dog breeds we are interested in and that way get a better feeling for the dogs. We also wanted to meet some owners to talk to about their pooches and get to know some reputable breeders.
It was quite an exciting weekend for us and my husband took many photos. Since I know that many gardeners are also devoted dog lovers, I thought I would post some pics today for your enjoyment.
A beautifully marked Brittany waiting on the grooming table.
The Doberman, head study.
An extremely elegant dog!
Being stacked for the judge.
Two Dobermans are having a conversation.
Whippet, head study.
Whippet in motion.
Whippets appear to be very gentle and sweet dogs.
The powerful and impressive Rhodesian Ridgeback.
Especially the males just seem to be so strong.
Look at these soulful eyes!

This is a Pharaoh Hound, one of the more rare breeds. Its a girl and she was very alert and focused on her owner and handler. Looks like she says: "What shall I do next?"
The incredible elegant and graceful Saluki.
These dogs are so photogenic,...
...and one is more beautiful...
...than the other.
I wonder, how dogs and gardens go together. That certainly also depends on the breed that one chooses. Any thoughts on that?
Until next time,
Christina

What a beautiful gait!
He was not only beautiful, but very friendly as well! Here he is saying hi to me, we just had met!
Just such a lovely boy!

This whippet seems to say: "Hey, what's up?"
This lovely whippet girl took home a win, if I remember correctly.
Another whippet. Having an intimate moment with her handler.
