Pretty Boy Zipper
I never thought this picture would turn out. We had to wait through a
bunch of Paps for the judge to get a photo break and once on the table Zipper was squirming around. Pam kept having to reset his front. The photographer took the shot without any warning so everybody jumped and I expected to see a reprint of a dog with 3 heads. Turns out it's perfect! And now he's done, no more pretty-boy shots so this one is especially nice to have. http://www.totaldobe.com/images/zipper/zipperchweb2.jpg |

Hi Robin,
Thanks for the pic of Zipper.....Ya know I just love him...He is so good looking. You can tell he has a personality to go with it. I am curious about the name Downey on the sign to the left of him. My Dobe's sire was owned by a man from Mo. named Downey. He also was a handler of my dog and others. Of course that was years back I was wondering if he progressed to a judge. That is why I was wondering. uhhhh maybe he was the photographer...I would be interested in knowing..Thanks....Judy Be Free.....Judy |

But it is John Downey. He quit breeding and showing dobes sometime in the 1980s and has been a professional dog show photographer since, and is one of the best. He has a partner who is also good, but not as good as John. All of those years handling has given him a super eye for when a dog is correctly set. He also did this one: http://www.totaldobe.com/images/cala...calavivasm.jpg And this one: http://www.totaldobe.com/images/cala/calamoberly6mo.jpg |

Robin,
Wow, sure enough that was my handler John Downey. He also owned my dog's sire who was a champion. He lived in Springfield, Mo. at the time. Our dogs were from the Brown's B Brian line. The pictures are beautiful. We had red Dobes. My dog did have a beautiful top line and he (John) could show it off to the fullest extent. Thanks for the info and the pics. I think his Champion was (my dog's sire) Bacchus? I have some pics around here somewhere of John back in the day showing my dog. Be Free.....Judy |
