Macon’s Local Dog Hero

Thu, 28 Mar 2013 07:39:08 GMT

AC Pup is very well known in Central GA for all ‘his’ efforts to try to help the homeless pets that are either dropped off, in shelters, needing rescue, in fosters or lost. I am sure you have seen posts about him from time to time and it’s been a year since I’ve gotten to see him! Our local hero needed some new ‘headshots’ so I was more than happy to oblige and here are my favs from the day. He is such a big sweet boy!

AC is with Central GA CARES. You can find more info on AC Pup here- and also here – Cares Homeless Pet Club.

Show Dog Submissions Being Accepted!

Fri, 15 Mar 2013 14:03:30 GMT

Taking submissions NOW to [email protected]

Note that I am located in Macon, GA but I will travel/meet up within an hour or so for awesome locations and CHAMPION/’SPECIALS’ SHOW dogs. This is for ALL breeds!

Do you have a special you are campaigning or are you a professional handler with some nice clients that might want photos for advertising OR are you a breeder with some exceptional dogs out right now? I am looking for at least one of each breed for my personal project. You get a shoot at no cost and I get to have fun working with many dog breeds on my own terms. Anyone that submits photos but is not selected, will be able to have a shoot at a drastically lowered fee if they would like.

I’m back! Looking for Show Dogs!!

I’m finally back! Well…sort of. I am not at it FULL time but at least I’m getting ramped up. My special project is called {DOGS} A Furtastic Love. I have been a dog lover since I was old enough to walk and in 1994 I decided I wanted to show dogs. I have had many breeds but started out with 2 Giant Schnauzers, then after tons and tons of research ended up getting a Standard Schnauzer that was the love of my life, and then I got heavily into American Staffordshire Terriers. I primarily showed and bred the AmStaffs from ’95 until ’01 (under the kennel name Sandune AmStaffs) where I had some pretty good success and had a lot of great loves. There’s really too much to type or explain about the breeds I’ve had and the dogs I’ve shown and the things I’ve been through so I’m just going to skip forward to now to save your eyes from all the reading! I currently have just one French Bulldog. He’s the current love of my life. He is a champion and he’s neutered and he is the loyal companion to me and my now 7 month old son. I am currently hoping to have another dog but that won’t be until later this year at the earliest. After having many dogs for so many years, it is hard having just one and quite honestly, poor Willie is bored without a buddy to do doggy play with!

So here I am and I am reaching out to the DOG SHOW world. I am searching for EXCEPTIONAL dogs and taking submissions to [email protected] to select at least one of each and every breed. Please let everyone you know that shows dogs or is a handler, know that I’m making this offer! I will be super selective so please don’t get your feelings hurt when I don’t pick your pet. I am looking for show dogs because I’m very particular on dogs being bred to the standard and want to honor especially owner handlers since not everyone can afford professional show photos. I am located in Macon. These photos can be used by the owners in ads or just for enjoyment and of course I will be using these too. I am offering special pricing for any pets that you would like photographed from March – September 2013 so if you are interested, please just ask!
