Below are some candid shots from the United Kennel Club's first ever Dutch Shepherd Specialty as hosted by the Dutch Shepherd Dog Club of America (MI-612 CON).
Even though everyone was so busy running around with their dogs, some managed to snap a few shots on their cell phones, tablets and cameras. Despite the pictures being a bit fuzzy, they still manage to convey the excitement and enjoyment we all had in participating in this groundbreaking event. Professional photographer pictures will be shared later as we receive them, but in the meantime, enjoy these!
Thank you also to the members of the Dutch Shepherd Dog Club of America who came out to support the entries and work the show... what a wonderful mix of dog people, from seasoned professionals with decades of experience to brand new puppy owners; they all shared the same love for their dogs and the high spirit of good sportsmanship!
