    Sadie ignores the paparazzi

    Sadie, the spectacular Scottie who entered the competition as the favorite having won over 100 best in show ribbons in her career, took home the top honors at the 134 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.  Looking for a good photo of her, I am once again reminded of the amazing skill of the pet photographers I feature here.  Daylife has a great collection of shots, many of which illustrate how difficult it is to truly capture the essence of dogs on film, especially black ones.  I chose this Reuters photo because I love the cool expression of this athlete who did exactly what she planned to do, dominate.  Congratulations, Sadie and handler Gabriel Rangel.

    Hopefully you didn't miss last night's first round of judging at The 134 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.  Tonight they judge the Sporting, Working, and Terrier Groups, and select the Best in Show.   The show begins at 8pm ET on USA.   But it is shown time-delayed at 8pm to West Coast viewers.  Visit the WKC website for more information and highlights of last night's judging. 

    Boston.com has an excellent round up of behind the scenes photographs like the one above, and they continue to update images as the event unfolds.  Hat tip to my cousin Clair "Answer Girl" Lamb for sending me the link to these great shots.

    P.S. Will a Dachshund ever win the Hound Group in my lifetime?!!!

    Party Animal by Pamela Hall



    William Secord     kicks off the frenetic dog art season of February in New York City (to coincide with the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show) with an exhibition of Pamela Hall's work entitled "The Comforts of Home."  The solo show opens February 13, 2010 and features over twenty paintings of popular breeds in domestic settings.  I think my favorite is Party Animal, but you can see them all online here and decide for yourself.

    William Secord, the premiere dog painting gallerist, will also be at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show exhibiting nineteenth century and contemporary dog art works at Booth 126 opposite the benching area at Madison Square Garden February 15-16.
