I agree I think people either like it or don't. I am guessing the typical dog show person is going to be looking for nice movement, stacked or head shots they can advertise with but there will be some like me I hope, even though I show I would prefer some unusual shots of my dog over the advertising type of ones. I have also been taking pictures of the group winners being congratulated and of the BIS judge pointing toward the winner, and got some good ones of handlers hugging and kissing their dogs right after the win. We'll see how those sell too (or not )

The OP was really nice, he was saying he was thinking of getting a new lens, and I handed it over to him to check out. He has been doing photos since I started showing dogs in the early 80's! He shoots Nikon. I didn't mention I was selling candids..heh heh...I am not sure what the official guys will think of that I am hoping it won't be an issue.
