Over the years I have photographed a lot of dogs competing in agility and also in relaxed settings, such as an occasional portrait. This has led to a collection of well over 300,000 photos, among which there have been some memorable ones. Over the next year or so, I’ll do some more work on creating a greatest hits list from this collection, which I’ll feature on Saturdays.
Here’s the inaugural contribution with a photo from 2009…
Darwin was our first Cardigan Welsh Corgi, aptly named Llanbryn’s Theory of Evolution. We first met Darwin when he was about 6 months old, when he ran to me for protection from the pack of aunts who liked to chase him around. After an eleven hour ride home (with stops) with us, Darwin was introduced to our mutt, Tonka, who loved him right away.Darwin wasn’t so sure, about Tonka, as she was more than twice his size. They became best friends!
Darwin gained his confidence through my wife training him in agility and herding. He was our perfect introduction to the Cardigan Welsh Corgi breed, as he was forgiving of our mistakes and had an inner toughness combined with being a truly lovely companion.
