Welcome to our website dedicated to promoting Schutzhund (also called Dog Sport) and to the art of Schutzhund photography.
We invite you to take a few minutes and learn more about our book, The Sport of Schutzhund: A Photographic Essay. This award winning, soft cover, coffee-table size photographic essay is the first and only photographic book that comprehensively depicts all phases of this popular working dog sport, including training, competitions, dogs at play and with their families, dog portraits and puppies. It features 370 full color photographs from 26 photographers that capture the beauty, the bond between handlers and their dogs, the challenges and the rewards of Schutzhund.
The purpose of the book is to introduce the sport to those who are unfamiliar with it and to honor Schutzhund dogs and their passionate trainers and handlers.
Our goal is to encourage other dog enthusiasts to consider getting involved in or supporting Schutzhund by attending local, regional and national events. As this book is a labor of love for Schutzhund, all net proceeds are being donated for the benefit of the sport.
Extending the work contained in our book, this website also features a photo gallery, with some of the best Schutzhund photography available by some of the most talented Dog Sport photographers around. Within these spectacular pictures, you will find the essence of Schutzhund and the excitement and fun experienced by those involved with the sport.
Please
contact us if you have any questions or have suggestions about this site. We look forward to hearing from you.
