Puppy Dogs

Owing to the rudeness of some folk, who appear to think their own photographs take priority over everyone else's, who rushed into the ring blocked my line of sight and then stood up and right in front of me, not moving aside, just continuing to look at the dogs; I have no pictures of the winners in the puppy class, and I missed one or two others later too. I do have several shots of the back of peoples heads and their rear quarters though!!
These are a few photos taken during the class.

Yearling Dogs

Another class which seemed to attract the rudest of photographers! I just managed a photo of the class winner between heads having dodged the head of the woman who totally obstructed my shot of the second placed dog and the third placed dog is from a photograph I took earlier during judging as that was totally blocked also
