Forget about cordless. Corded human clippers can work (my wife stole my cheap corded Wahl clippers that I had bought from Walmart for use with our Spinone and it got the job done with a lot of time and effort) but they will bog down and are not the best tool for the job... Ultimately we...

Honey is a cuddler... she'll jump on the couch, aiming to land perfectly to press against you with her head the back of your neck. She's also a Velcro dog - it impresses people at the dog park when I get up to leave and she goes right to my side and walks out with me off leash (I put a leash on...

135mm is a pretty classic focal length, which is not far off from what your 85mm gives you... I am more a fan of that than I am the 50mm on crop sensors... I have a 75mm/1.4 that is manual focus that I love for portraits. Your pictures look fantastic!

She didn't exactly like it, but she's very stoic and tolerant of oh so much....

Reactive, bad false pregnancies, food allergies... all of which were observed in our bitch and in littermates from 2 breedings of the same parents, plus cancer in the line.... we would never breed our dog as a result. We wanted to spay because of the false pregnancies, once we decided there was...

Both of us had the same contract, co-ownership till championship. In my case, the terms were met over 2 years prior (actually, at this point, it's approaching 3 years... it was 2 years when we asked for permission to spay, and then 7 months of fighting for permission to spay I finally said "oh...

Won a contest in our town today with out Silken Windhound... we had to enter the pig separately, so he didn't really function as a prop during the contest...

My wife and I already decided to spay our bitch... our breeder took 7 months to grant us permission to spay her (required my the contract to be discussed...) and she still refuses to sign the dog over to us. My friend who owns a littermate did all his health testing, selected a stud dog...

Playing around with a new camera lens...

That's true... my 22.5" tall Silken weighs about 35 pounds...

Spinone Italiano perhaps?

The breed standard is 18.5-23.5" so you'd have to be very selective...

Silken Windhounds :) http://www.silkenwindhounds.org/ "The Silken Windhound fills a niche in the sighthound breeds with a smaller, long-haired hound. The Silken Windhound may bring to mind a small Borzoi, but Silken Windhounds are uniquely their own breed. Silken Windhounds are bred to an...
