Wow!! I got a placement with the white girl pictured below on the ramp with my husband Fred - her name is Lakewinds Creme De La Creme and you got two great shots of her half sister sideways with Fred - Lakewinds Barbie Girl. We didn't get any pictures of them but they were a hit there regardless of the fact that only one placed. So I would like to buy the pictures, please contact me - don't know what Dela's picture was but Barbie's is DSC_7120 & 7121. Can't wait to see some more pictures they were great.

6th photo - Lucy's name is spelled 'Loquacious' there was an error in the catalog.
9th photo - on left is Saundra Martinez with CH Royal Lee's Flying Eagle II.
11th photo - I think is Cooper
Even with a catalog sitting ringside it was difficult to keep track of the dogs as some armband numbers were hand written and not visible from a distance.

the emotions of the shows...it truly was a thrill to see ALL the beautiful Bulldogs and their proud handlers!

Thank you so much for sharing all your great artwork with all of us. I felt the quality of the Bitches and the Dogs were outstanding this year.

I loved the different things you thought to shoot...like the ribbons & the catalog - very neat!

You got some fabulous shots...thanks for posting those, and I'm glad you had such a nice time in KC.

congrats to all the winners

I NEED to know.

I agree with your comment about the Nikon feeling more substantial than comparable Canons. Nikons just feel a little more solid and I like the menu, interface, and ergonomics of body. Of course, that's just my opinion. As far as lenses, I believe that Sigma makes a 70-200mm f/2.8 lens for your camera that has received good reviews. It might be worth it to rent the lens and try it out. I use www.lensrentals.com to test out lenses I am interested in buying.

I made the mistake in getting the Pentax and I have found it to be limited in lens choices. I love the pics it takes but the lenses are way too expensive. I used to have a film 35mm Nikon and it was the best camera I ever owned.
Nikon is definitely the way to go. It feels more substantial than the Canon's to me.
Thanks for the info.

Thanks for Sharing Ryan, it was good seeing you.

Thanks for the compliments! Although you can't go wrong with either a Canon or Nikon, I shoot with a Nikon D300. My favorite lens, and the one that I shoot with at dog shows, is the Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8. This lens allows me to shoot in low-light conditions without a flash. My recommendation would be to hold the different cameras to see which one feels the most comfortable in your hand. Once you decide on the body that you want, buy just the body so that you can spend the extra $$$ on the appropriate lens. Most of the kit lenses that come with the cameras aren't "fast" enough to shoot in low-light conditions without a flash. Feel free to email me if you have any other questions.

CH Legacy Take Me to the Copa (Veterans). It was great to see Tate in the ring again! He is the sire to our Diggler, so he has a special place in our hearts. He is still a bada$$... Ryan had the honor of showing him in Stud Dog:


Jay and his buddy, Tate.


Thank you for looking! We'll see y'all at the next show!

photos. Thanks so much for sharing them. Wish I had your photography skills.

Hi Jannette,

The stuffed bulldogs were made by the St. Paul/Minneapolis Bulldog Club and we were selling them at the Nationals for $10 or $15. If you are interested let me know and I can put you in touch with our club secretary who currently has them in her possession (she just picked them up from me about 1/2 hour ago). Several club members, including myself, hand made these bulldogs. Lots of work but they sure turned out cute ! Appreciate your compliments !
