Phew, it's been a long while since I've been on here. Busy with the new baby and the little dog. I've started a new project of making dog collars. You won't find collars like these in your local pet store! I have a selection of beautiful, unique, hand made nylon dog collars both in small...

Just wanted to let you guys know that I'm having a FREE 5"x7" pet/people portrait contest. It will be a random draw and the contest starts today, Janaury 24th, 2010 and runs until March 24th, 2010. Details are on my blog: Dogs n' Art by Julie Deans: dogs, art, portraits, photography...

But I wanted to share two commissions that I finished for Christmas. Sad story behind the first one, I met my client, and the cute little chi. We discussed the portrait, all was good. Then 3 days later he emailed me and told me that she got out in the road, and was hit by a car ... she never...

Hi guys, I know I'm not on here a lot, but I would like to introduce our newest edition. Brandy's new brother, Brooks Chase Samsonite (Sam for short). This guy is super smart, is quite mature for being only 7 months old, and his temperament is awesome. He's very food motivated, determined and...

I have a friend asking me about Orijen puppy food. I feed Orijen to Brandy, and am extremely happy with the results. I've pointed her to their site, but I'm not sure if there are any ill affects associated with feeding a high protein diet to a young dog. Does anyone here know if there is any, or...

It's been a while since I updated my site on here. I've completely overhauled the whole site, so would like to introduce everyone to my pet portraits once again: www.juliesillustration.com as well, I am now offering greeting/note cards, magnets and key/luggage chains. I haven't got all the dog...

I'm having a real problem changing the image in my signature. It won't allow me to save any image. The ones I've tried have been large, small, tiny, and still no luck. Can someone help me out? I had this problem once before, but previously was able to save any size in my signature. Thanks

As promised, here are some pics the this past weekends JRTCC Nationals. I was at the agility ring all day, running and volunteering, so I didn't get a lot of pics, and my little helper wasn't with me to take pics of Brandy running....so I've just got some ribbon shots with her (little brat won...

Vacation was exactly what I needed. And I think it's what the little dog needed too - LOL - she down-right refused to get out of the water at times. I now call her my little Jack Labrador Retriever. She will fetch from the water for hours...she just loves it. Good for her leg too! Also got to...

Would like to know what your best and worst pieces of equipment are, and what you feel you need to work on more when running a larger dog (over 16" jump heights). I'm taking the dive, once again, with hubby's dog in a level 1 class, and because I run Brandy in, originally 10" reg. and now 6"...

It's so nice to have your own personal photographer - LOL - my sister is a good sport, and I drag her to as many trials as I can, so these pictures are courtesy of her at the Jack Russell Terrier Rescue Trial this past Saturday. She really looks like she's having fun. Reward for a...

Bob and Mindy - Met these two cuties at the JRTRO Trial on Saturday. I don't know, you guys tell me if the bottom two pics are too explicite - LOL - I love the expression on Mindy's face!!!

Whew, seems like forever since I posted any artwork on here. Life has been busy :) These are some of the pieces that I've been working on lately. The references for these were taking on our trip to Cuba for our wedding in April of this year. I just HAD to take pictures of the dogs there...and...

I really think she likes being my model now - got excited the other day when she saw the camera...she could do without the flash though. First is the stretch Then is "that look" Then bark because mom is barking at me (she must think I'm crazy) No cropping on these, they...

Ok, so with all the talk of changing the weave spacing to 24" in AAC (I believe it's already been done in AKC and CKC), can some of the small dog people (16" and under) share their experiences, likes and dislikes pertaining to running a mini with the 24" weave spacing. I'm wondering about...

Ok, Brandy's first ever attempt at barn hunt and trailing and location are coming up in June and I was wondering if anyone could clarify somethings for me, so I don't screw up. What does "no schooling is permitted in the starting area..." mean?? And is there any rules in the barn hunt...

It's been a long time since I've posted things here, but now that there's a photography section, I thought I'd post some of our recent walks together in the Conservation areas of Halton. The first few pics are at Hilton Falls, and the others from Crawford Lake. This is my favorite thing to do...

Yesterday was our first trial back since Brandy's knee surgery in December. I thought we'd be rusty - yes we've been practicing and yes we've worked with a new trainer, but not much, so I figured we'd have a hay-day out there - LOL - not in a good way. Thought she'd perhaps give me the...

Ok, very stupid question, but I'm thinking of moving Brandy to specials in AAC, and was wondering if there is a process to do this, or if I just enter her next trail under specials 6", and then it gets recorded from there. thanks guys. :)
