Thought I would share some pictures of the dogs I got to hang out with this weekend.


Pixie


Heather (all white and very out of coat)


Ziggy


Stevie (actually didn't hang out with her but wanted a picture before she went in the ring)


Random Rottie (Didn't hang out with him either but he was ringside as I was leaving so....)


My most favoritest dog in the entire world - Fizzy


Another Fizzy <3


And last but not least, Beau! <3

Beautiful pictures! They are so expressive.

Wow, all the time we lived in Stillwater PA, I never knew they had dog shows in bloom. Such pretty little babies! I see though that none of them have blue eyes? I was just wondering if that's a common thing for show huskies, I always thought pretty much most huskies had blue eyes... lol. 

Blue ends tend to be more perfectly round which is a fault in the breed. The almond shaped eye is standard.

You can have almond shaped eyes and have them be blue

Blue eyes actually creates an illusion that the eye is too round.

Right, but the illusion is still going to be less desirable, yeah?

Yes, but the way you had made it sound was the the color made the eye round instead of simply creating an illusion. At least that was how I read it. I apologize if I misunderstood

haha, ok, no that was not my intention. I mean think about it, the color itself is on the eyeball itself...the shape is created by the skin around the eye, not the eyeball itself.

So the color of the eyeball is not responsible for the shape of the eye, because that is determined by the skin around the eye.

At least that's what I would think makes the most sense.

Whether or not the color of the eyeball is correlated to actual shapes of the skin around the eye or not (in other words if it is actually different based on color or it is in fact an illusion), I have no idea

In the show ring, it is the shape that counts.

As I have come to learn - everything in showing a dog is an illusion - at least the aspects that you can control. lol It is actually rather silly.

Onyx is actually a good example to use of how blue makes the eye look more round (as opposed to a dark eye)

Haha, well said.
