Beautiful dog and you know what? That piece of knowledge has stuck in my head. Always have a GSD panting

Julie,
it's so counter-intuitive for us who spend far too much time trying to get dogs to close their mouths but it's something I learned early on when I started shooting GSD Specialties outdoors. For formals it's full profile, front legs as one, and tongue out.

Great shots of a great breed of dog.
