Portuguese Water Dogs (not named Bo) shine in the spotlight


Photographer Lee Anderson and his brown Standard Poodle Dakota

If you’re looking to mix a little culture and fur this weekend, visit Barrel Oak Winery, or BOW as wine lovers with pooches have come to know it as. They’ve extended the Lee AndersonPorties And Their Running Mates” photography exhibit until Labor Day and it's not to be missed.

The black and white portraits feature images of lovable, fluff-able Portuguese Water Dogs - AKA Porties. Bo Obama may be the most famous of his kind, but undoubtedly Lee’s unique ability to capture the essence of every animal who sets paw in front of his lens will show each is a rock star in their own right!

Non-Porties need not feel ignored. You're the "and running mates" part of the exhibit, so an array of breeds are on display.

Lee and his wife Donna will be on hand at a Meet the Artist reception this Sunday, August 9th, from Noon to 6pm. Pack up some of your favorite people and dog treats for the trip and plan on spending the day ensconced in fine scenery, fine wine and fine furry friends.

    Awesome photography!

    There are portraits of 17 other dogs and cats in the show plus 5 of the winery owners' golden retrievers, so it's a real mix of various pets. More "Running Mates" than Porties actually.
