The American Kennel Club recognizes over 160 breeds of dogs in

seven categories: Hound, Working, Sporting, Non-sporting, Terrier,

Toy and Herding. Thousands of Americans own purebred show dogs, and

year round, local kennel clubs host events at which judges evaluate

how closely individual dogs conform to breed standard. Ribbons and

trophies are bestowed and points are accumulated. The penultimate

event in a show dog s life is Westminster held in New York every

year since 1877 which attracts hordes of visitors and an

international media bonanza. In 2005 Life magazine assigned

photographer Kate Lacey to cover Westminster. She decided that

instead of documenting the scene, she would rig up a seamless

backdrop to make elegant portraits, much as Richard Avedon once

captured glamorous celebrities. Though partial to poodle mutt mixes

herself, on this assignment Kate became entranced by show dogs, and

their exquisite grooming and acclimatization to attention made them

ready subjects. After the assignment ended, she continued traveling

to dog shows in a quest to photograph every one of the

AKC-recognized breeds. Some of the dogs in Show Dogs are veterans

of years of shows, some are winners and some are losers and some

are just puppies; but their achievements in the ring are not the

point. With each portrait you ll just see the nickname given by the

people who love them, not their official championship names, which

convey their titles and lineage. The dogs in this book are like

supermodels off duty, showing us a personal side in a candid

moment. What we love about these dogs is not their fancy parentage

and titles, but exactly what we love about every dog in our lives;

their quirky and wonderful dogginess.
