There are photos from other dogs that we may recognize, I will post numbers when I see them. Some winners phots are not up yet, or I could not find them.

A few general thoughts, we take a lot of photos, especially informal and/or candid photos (look at our website if you doubt me). Overall I am not a huge fan of stacked win photos, in part because the win photo is one nano-second "click" of the dog formed by the handler and "the great shot" may not resemble the dog much at all. I have taken enough photos to know that I want to see the frames before and after the “great” shot. That said, the photos of Diarado are an absolute joy to me, even the “befores and afters”. True, he is a young dog, and needs to mature and tighten… but what I see in these photos of him from the National are all I would want to see in a 9 month puppy dog, and more. I would put one or two of these photos on the cover of any magazine... I am just way way way too cheap to do so. :rolleyes:

Now, for Hotline… there is no photo that blows me away. Though I love her, the problem with Hotline is that she is ... well, she is a bitch… a sweet, confident, young, determined bitch, who pretty much does what she wants, which can be VERY exasperating. Ask Kelly!!! ;):D But ask everyone who is trying to show a bitch. They will tell you that bitches can be a challenge. In fact, watching the bitch classes, up to and including OPEN, I had to laugh at how many bitches, regardless of age and ring experience, were refusing to use ears, or refusing to stand for examination, or moving with their heads down, straining against the lead. It really makes great show bitches like Indy, Sera, C.J. and FIFI seem all the more amazing.
