-Dog show pictures (conformation)- mostly Tollers & Belgians- 30+ pics

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

Here are a bunch of pictures I took this past weekend during a dog show. I hope you enjoy them! Sorry for the lack of breeds, I really only spent time with my favourites, but there are a few other pics thrown in here too. I was so annoyed at myself, I was visiting all of the Hungarian Mudis that were there and totally forgot to take some pictures of them. I was much too busy petting them and talking to owners/breeders.

Last post coming...

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

This is the same grey Terv pictured above. I absolutely loved this dog, he had a wonderful temperament and his coat colour was beautiful:

Another Toller (named Tucker):

That's all of them. I apologize for so many. I tried to narrow them down as much as possible...I took about 300 all together..

[Danegirl2208]

wow awsome pictures!!! They are all beautiful! Of course i love the danes..did you happen to get their names?

[k9krazee]

Is the last post all Tucker? He is GORGEOUS!

I really love that Terv's coloring too.

[Iilo]

Sweet pictures.

Are the Belgian Shepherds all judged together like that in Canada, or was that the herding group?

And what kind of camera do you use?? I really like those pictures, they come out a lot clearer than some of the ones on my Canon a95.

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

...did you happen to get their names?

I didn't get any of the names of the Danes, I only know who some of the Tollers are. I got the name of the grey Belgian but I forget what it was now.


Is the last post all Tucker?

The last five pictures are all of Tucker, yes :). He really was a beautiful dog in both appearance and personality/temperament...in fact, I don't think I've ever met a nicer Toller as far as temperament goes.

Yes, the Belgians are all judged together in Canada as one breed and four varieties. I use a Kodak cx7430...I think it's discontinued now though. It's a pretty good camera, but it doesn't have all of the features I'd like it to have (like the optical zoom) and sometimes the quality/colour isn't so great.


Thanks everyone! I'm glad you've enjoyed them :)

[luvofallhorses]

great pictures and gorgeous dogs! :D

[RobiLee]

What? No huskies or akitas? What am I going to do with you? ;) :p

I guess I'll forgive you since you posted the smooth and rough collie. I dream of owning one of them in the future. *sigh* Someday..lol.

I bet you were in heaven! The tollers were all so gorgeous! The belgians were beautiful too. Do I remember you saying you are interested in having a belgian someday?

Thanks for the great pics. I enjoyed seeing them.

[Husky_mom]

What? No huskies ? What are we going to do with you? ;) :p

Ok I´ll forgive you too as you had that gorgeous Ibizan Hound...(one of my personals) and also those Tervs, Mals, and those Tollers........so cute Tucker is!!!

I´ve never met a Laekenois in person thanks for sharing that

oh yeah I slightly modified Robilee´s post :p

[Zippy]

I am really starting to become a BIG fan of Tollers ;)

[Ginger's Mom]

Nice pictures. :) That Ibizian looks like she is very young (she is a cutie though). And you are right that Tevuren is gorgeous! I really like that Toller in the second picture too (is he the same one as in picture #7 of your second post?). I think I really like him because he appears to be more...um...solid (thicker?) than the other ones. But as you already know, no one will ever be as pretty as Tango.

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

Thanks everyone!

Robin, there weren't many Huskies or Akitas around actually. It was really hot so I'm assuming the must have all been sleeping in their tents or something. And yes, I would love to have a Belgian someday :)

Joyce, yes, that's the same one :). He was more solid/stocky than the rest, but he was also a mature male. Most of the other ones there were young females (a year old and under).

[Suki Wingy]

OOh, a Beezer! yay. :) Thanks for sharing!

[dappledoxie]

Oooo I almost squealed out loud when I saw the smooth collie, I looove. :) I love all your pictures very much, I can't wait to go to a dog show, one day, one day.... :D Thanks for sharing! Oh and I wanted to ask, do you have an album up anywhere with all the pics I could browse through and check out all the dogs?

[i_rescue]

Wow, lots of photos! I definetley enjoyed looking at them though. Those are really good pictures too! I love the Blue Dane. For a minute I thought he was a Neapolitan Mastiff, but once I took a better & closer look I new he was a Dane. Thanks for sharing!

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

Thanks you guys :) Brandy, I don't have an album up anywhere. It would've taken forever to upload all of the pictures I took and then resize them.
