German Shepherd + Sharpei = Trey; NJ Dog Photographer
Purebred dogs are fine. In fact, I’ve met many a wonderful canine with papers. (Although, do they have to give them such drawn out names, like Alexander Puffy Hair Dancing Bear?)
But there is something about mutts. No pretense. No putting on airs. And they’ve got short names, sometimes just one syllable. Names like Trey.
I had the pleasure of photographing a Trey on Friday, a friendly, likable mix of German Shepherd and Sharpei (check out the wrinkles on his head) who lives with two friendly and likable humans, who have no discernible wrinkles on their heads. We met at Barkfest, an event put on by St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center in June and Trey spent the next two months waiting eagerly for his session. (At least that’s what he told me between scarfing down treats.)
Bonus points for anyone who can guess who Trey is named after.
Trey knows how to wait for treats.
And wait some more...
Dogs like Trey look cool wearing bandanas.
Trey going for the French sauve look.
He coulda been a contender. If he had been born a Greyhound.

When are they coming home, already!
