"Duke"




Winter isn't just fun for horses, dogs love it too!


Duke, a very handsome Labrador Retriever who owns the Leatherdale family, was very happy to be in on the photo shoot when I last visited their farm. He even quite obligingly wore a bright red scarf, to match the kid's outfits (although I'm sure if Duke had decided on green, the kids would have had to change their outfits).


I find photographing dogs at a run, quite a bit more challenging than horses...I think because they are smaller moving targets (unless of course we are talking about the 185 lb Great Dane at Stonegate...but that's another story). It is very helpful to have some willing children throw a stick or ball for the dog so you are free to catch the action. Duke was very animated as he chased a baseball...even diving head first into a snowdrift when the ball went astray. Enjoy these pictures of this lovely dog.
