MrAlexTheDog Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I took this portrait of Dixie (top) and Fernie during the recent Solvang Gathering in Solvang, CA last month. Fernie is 14 and may be one of the last surviving Guam greyhounds in the US. I carried him up the steps to the Veteran Memorial Hall's stage and tried to be quick about getting some photographs. Once on the stage he had little problem with standing on the black seamless paper I used for a background. Fernie has attended several Solvang Gatherings, and it's always good to see him. Fernie was later crowned "King of Solvang" at the end of Gathering. Quote Steve, owner/photographer Crackerdog Photography, writer of ShutterHounds.
