ALL BREED PHOTOGRAPHY COFFEE TABLE BOOK
Discover the world of purebred dogs from elite champions to unsung hero working dogs—through the extraordinary lens of Miguel Betancourt, one of the renowned canine photographers. This visual masterpiece is more than a photo book; it’s a comprehensive testament to three decades of dedication to the global purebred dog community.
This extraordinary volume transcends conventional breed catalogs. It features an unprecedented collection of over 200 breeds from diverse disciplines and organizations, from, from the AKC, FCI, UKC-recognized breeds to working and performance dogs across multiple disciplines; the book offers an all-encompassing narrative that celebrates the incredible diversity of purebred dogs.
Miguel’s unique photography captures far more than physical appearance.
Each image reveals the multidimensional nature of dogs—showcasing their beauty, intelligence, and purpose in moments of calm poses to fast action. Iconic breeds like German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Chihuahuas, French Bulldogs, and Labrador Retrievers are presented alongside less-known but equally remarkable breeds like Boycon Spaniels, Cane Corsos and Fox Hounds each photograph telling a unique story of heritage, intentional breeding, and canine excellence.
The collection goes beyond static representation, highlighting dogs that embody the pinnacle of their breed’s characteristics. From Best in Show winners at prestigious events like the Westminster Kennel Club and FCI World Show to field trial champions and working dogs, the book celebrates the athleticism, discipline, and inherent grace that define these extraordinary animals.
As some purebred breeds are rooted in centuries of intentional breeding, the dramatic photos convey their living legacies—protectors, herders, hunters, and companions. Through Miguel’s discerning lens, each breed emerges as a masterpiece, telling a story of purpose, evolution, and the profound connection between humans and dogs.
For dog enthusiasts, breed lovers, and anyone who appreciates the extraordinary world of purebred dogs, this photo book is more than a collection of images—it’s a celebration of canine excellence and the timeless bond we share with our four-legged, loyal companions and partners.
This first edition is just the beginning of Miguel’s mission. Future projects promise to expand this legacy, spotlighting rescue dogs and working dogs and continuing to illuminate the incredible stories of dogs in all their remarkable diversity.
