ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwire - December 4, 2008) - Building on the success of their critically acclaimed and award-winning book, "The Sport of Schutzhund: A Photographic Essay," Peter and BJ Spanos are proud to announce the launch of The Sport of Schutzhund website dedicated to the art of Schutzhund photography (www.bjspanos.com).

Since its debut one year ago, "The Sport of Schutzhund: A Photographic Essay" has received many rave reviews, including from "Dog World" magazine, the "Midwest Book Review," "PalmBeachPost.com" and "Schutzhund USA for the German Shepherd Dog." It also won a 2008 Print Excellent Award from the Printing & Imaging Association of Georgia.

"Continuing the work in our book, the Sport of Schutzhund website features a photo gallery with some of the best Schutzhund photography available, taken by some of the most talented Dog Sport photographers around. The website also contains information about our book and the sport of Schutzhund. Our goal is to encourage Schutzhund photography as an art form unto itself and introduce Schutzhund to those who may be unfamiliar with it," said Mrs. Spanos, the owner of BJ Spanos Ink.

Schutzhund, also referred to as Dog Sport, is a judged triathlon for working dogs and includes tracking, obedience and protection phases. Schutzhund has nothing to do with dog fighting and differs greatly from the training used to prepare personal or property protection, police or drug detection dogs.

"The Sport of Schutzhund website's Gallery serves as a virtual art gallery, featuring high quality, artistic photographs. The Gallery also will include special exhibits and featured photographers. There is no charge to be included, and professional and serious amateur photographers are encouraged to contact us about submitting photographs," said Mrs. Spanos.

Copies of "The Sport of Schutzhund: A Photographic Essay" may be purchased from the Sport of Schutzhund website for $25 per copy (US), plus $10 shipping; bulk discount, breeder/kennel and bookseller rates are available.

The website was created with the assistance of Alexander and Kellen Jahn, owners of the website design and management firm, Ovades (www.ovades.net). For more information, please contact Ovades at info@ovades.net or call (404) 825-5771.
