The bond between dog and owner is like non other. Karn normally goes with just me to a photo session. This one his dad went with and he was such a different dog. Excited again to have photos taken. I love these quiet walking moment photos and the trust the dog has in his owner to stand over top of him yet still be confident in his body language (this is hard for many dogs to have a person stand over them. It is almost a sign of dominance). Karn doesn't feel that there is any form of dominance from his owner and the rest of our family. It is a sign of true teamwork, training and mostly Karn's temperament.

Thank you J.Klein Photos for capturing these moments between these two!

Who wants to help Dexter and I hit the big four bucket list the next few years?

For those who show and are not professionals at it, the big four is

1. Your Breed National Specialty
2. The National Dog Show (Aired Thanksgiving Day)
3. Royal Canin (December Each Year in Orlando, FL)
4. Westminster (Typically in January in NY City)

I would love to be able to take this amazing dog and complete the four. You need to go after your dreams right?

I would love to start with the National Specialty this year (2026) in April down in Perry, GA

I am hoping to raise $1000 towards that show for travel, food, hotels and entry fees. Who has great individual fundraising ideas? Anyone want to just do a donation to help? What about a company that might like to sponsor and be highlighted on our posts on social about our adventures?

If you would like to help, I would love it! This dog deserves it

Absolutely LOVE these two photos from our session in October with J.Klein Photos at Felt Manson in Holland. I am draw to historical looking architecture and the places my imagination can take me of what it would have looked like back in it's glory days. Though Felt Manson has done an amazing job bringing this back to glory in it's current form!

While I love the focus on the dog, I love also seeing the area around the dog in photos like this. I feel like it brings depth and curiosity to the photo along with depicts taking my dog exploring new places and capturing those special moments.

There is a reason for everything!

Who watched the dog show yesterday and saw the Sporting group? Did you notice the English Springer and then this English Cocker have their ear flipped over their nose and face and wonder what the heck was going on?

Well there is always a reason for everything. In the breeds like those two, and the other cockers ( I am sure I am missing another breed or two as well) the handler will do this to show off the neck.

Here is the portion of their standard about the neck:

Neck:
Graceful and muscular, arched toward the head and blending
cleanly, without throatiness, into sloping shoulders; moderate
in length and in balance with the length and height of the dog.
Being moderate in length, the neck is just long enough for the dog
to easily reach down, pick up a bird, and carry it high enough to
not interfere with his front legs. The neck should be clean, but
with sufficient strength to carry heavy game.

With these breeds longer ears, they tend to cover the neck and it makes it difficult to judge the length and strength for carrying game. I personally know many show line spaniels that also hunt so this is still important to this day.

What other things do you wonder about in show dogs on why they do it? Post in the comments and I will try my best to answer your questions!

We were asked to have the Boykins come out to model for the canine workshop with J.Klein Photos. These are just a handful of my favorites that she captured behind the students taking photos as well (I have not seen those). I am always impressed with the photos I get back from her and I even questioned for a few moments if the first photo was Jasper or Karn.

Karn you stamped your boy! It was sure fun doing a father/son photo shoot!

He's got moves! Dexter often will be in the yard running around when I go out to the barn to do my homestead chores and it is almost daily I stop dead in my tracks and am in awe of his effortless, floating movement. Never putting a foot out of place!

Love my boys ornaments. Thank you J.Klein Photos

Dexter over the few short years. My bond with this boy and his pure adoration of me (and me to him) is obvious in these photos. I am so thankful for J.Klein Photos and capturing our journey starting as a wee baby!

Jasper is not the cuddler of the dog family. He must realize how totally beat I am today from lack of sleep and a long day at the craft fair.

Karn and Dexter are asking when our next vacation is? Time away bonding with your dog is so important.
