Wanted to post a different image but did not have time to find the memory chip it was on so here is a Silly Tuesday picture...a couple days late. Bryce (or is it Brody? I can't tell. Ooops), getting ready for his moment in the show ring. Wish I didn't have to shoot right into the early morning sun for this but I had no choice so this is the best I could do.

@frederique: Ibizan ears are perfect for these goofy, wide-angle shots right, Fred? :) Thanks for commenting!
@Vitor Martins: Thank you, Vitor. They are tall dogs but do not weigh that much. They are taller than Labrador Retrievers but healthy labs can weigh up to 75 pounds. Ibizans usually top out between 50 - 60 pounds (don't have the metric conversion on-hand. Sorry!) They are very agile and elegent dogs.
@Ronnie 2¢: Thanks so much, Ronnie. His face cracks me up, too so I'm glad it made you laugh. :)
@Lorraine: Thanks, Lorraine! :)
@MARIANA: Thanks so much, Mariana. It makes me laugh, too. :)
@Francesc B.: Perfect description, Francesc! He does look like a 3D character. Ha!
@Viewfinder: Glad you do--thanks! :)
@PD: He had no choice--he was tied to the grooming arm. Dog showing is not my thing. My friends used to try to get me to help by taking the dogs into the ring and showing them but I just can't do it. I tried with my basenji before (just for fun), and I came to the conclusion that I just suck at it. I hate it. I'd much rather just offer support from the sidelines.
@LESLIE: Thanks so much, Les! He does look huge and gangly, doesn't he? He's about the hieght of a greyhound or Afghan.
@Guinyv: Merci pour votre visite, Yves. Je ne suis pas bon au fait de parler le français non plus! :)
@Mj007: Well, from the ground to his withers he is about 27 inches (68.6 cm) tall so I bet you are taller than him. But he does look tall in the photo. :) Thanks for visiting!
@cindy brown: Thank you so much, Cindy. Hope Emma is doing well tonight!
@Chris Parr: I know..he's got a look like he's thinking, "Are you kidding me, Lady? You want to take a picture of me like this??" Thanks, Chris!
@Bill: I think it might be Bryce and if that is the case, than you are right on the money, Bill. Bryce is not currently enjoying the show scene. In fact, Wendy showed him the day I took this photo but she pulled him the next day. He was not enjoying himself. Thanks, Bill!
@Food: Hahaha! He really does look irritated, doesn't he? In actuality, I think he was just trying to figure out what that big black thing was doing up in his face. I let him smell the camera for a bit and he seemed better after that. :) Thanks, Food!
@Mags: LOL. Yes, weird is also a perfect word for this image. Thanks, Mags! :)
@Kimberly: Hi, Kim---Is this Brody or Bryce, do you know? Anyhow, he looks like the goofy boy he is no matter who he is!
@Barbara: Haha. Yes, I can see why you'd think he was a horse, Barbara. Thanks for your comment! :)
@Addey Kehinde: Thanks much, Addey!
@Damon Schreiber: Thanks, Damon, and thanks for stopping by!
@ponygirl: I'll have to use my wide angle with Tripp one day and I'm sure we will get some funny shots of him...wiht his long muzzle and all. :)
@Stewart Bywater: Thanks so much, Stewart, and thanks for stopping by!
@David Nos: Thanks so much, David! Thanks for the visit!
@Anne: Wow, thank you so much, Anne! :) :)
