These playful photographs capture the quirkiness of owners and their canine
companions at one of the most quintessentially British events: the dog show.
From Pekingese to Poodles, Dalmatians to Dachshunds, Dog Show 1961-1978
is not only a fascinating portrait of the phenomenon but also highlights the
tender, amusing and at times obsessive relationship between humans and
their dogs.
