Traveling Buddy

"DUTCH"
Today, while I was out and about looking for subjects to photographed, I stopped by the beach area of Anchor Point to allow my traveling buddy a little time to play. He loves the beach and with the snow pack frozen, he was able to explore some new spots. While watching him, I realized that I very seldom photograph him when we travel.
For those that are not familiar with his breed, he is an AKC Registered Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever. He will turn ten in March of this year. He was born at the Dutch Harbor Kennel in Dutch Harbor, Alaska. His Sire is Redventure's Artful Dodger and his Dam was Nibiru's Molly. His registered name with the American Kennel Club is Dutch Harbor Dutchman, but we just call him "Dutch".
He has put on a lot of miles with me, in the past two years we have logged 35 - 40,000 miles including two round trips over the Alcan Highway, three Canadian Provinces, and fifthteen states.  We have had some great adventures and there will be more as we travel together.
