I wish this were a sticky on the nature thread. I am always confused as to where to post my dog shots, and I know people forget about this thread unless it is on top.
Now I feel like I need to move all of my dogs over here, or at least the last ones. I posted them on the nature thread.
I did not know where this thread was after "wide angle" disappeared. I could have searched, but I figured if I didn't know, lots of other people didn't either ...............
I have enjoyed looking over some of the more recent pages! Dogs are always cool, and there are some good photos here!
Maybe there are some new photos out there that are just waiting to be posted. Here is a picture of our new dog Gilligan. We got him Dec 26 at about 7 weeks of age. I can't believe how much he has grown in 3 weeks!
Getting a puppy to pose for a picture is really hard! When I look at puppy calendars, I now look at them with great respect!
Well, you did a nice job, this one looks really good. Nice setting, the colors work, the background looks good.
Haven't had the desire to post any dog photos here since my Buddy passed away April 18th. But life must go on, and there's always another 4 legged friend to brighten us 2 legged folks day ...
Sorry to hear about Buddy. Our pets are closer to us in ways that people cannot be. Are these your new dogs or just adorable pictures of others dogs? I like the second shot a lot.

So sorry about your Buddy. It is the most difficult thing to lose a pet. Glad you have found some new ones to love...tell us more about them.
I didn't know this thread existed....now you guys are going to be sorry!!! I take more photos of my dogs than anything else! After losing 2 of my dogs in a few months time about 5 years ago, I adopted this little firecracker. She's the sweetest dog on earth, but boy, does she have 'tude!!! Her name is Suzie. About 6 months later I adopted Nikki to keep her company while I work.
This is Suzie recently before her haircut...
I have small dogs because I live in a condo....but don't let the small size fool you...they have the worst reps in the neighborhood! I always seem to have a long lens in my hand and a very short balcony, so I shoot a lot of head shots. In fact, Suzie is getting quite well "recognized" on the Daily Photo for the "back" of her head!!!
Friday night she begged for a frontal shot though, while I was experimenting with my new Canon 580 flash and my Gary Fong Light Sphere!!! As ususal, she was too close to the lens.....but hey!!! No doggie green eyes or red eyes!!!!
This is my other gal, Nikki. She is getting up there in years and turning quite grey. She use to love to "pose" for pics and would wag her tail and smile. But she hates that big, black CANON 20D!!!!! Now she leaves the room! Guess I will have to get my point and shoot out for her. I find that the auto-focus does not work well on finding her eyes against the black fur and she is continually OOF. But then, that goes along with her personality! (DOGS RULE!!!!)

Thanks for the thoughts, Gluwater and Saurora. No, these recent pictures are just random shots from the offleash. We do have another furchild in the family. His name is Gilligan and he's a 9.5 month old, 90 pound, puppy brained retriever. If you look at my post from Mar 11, Buddy is the shepherd and Gilligan is the pup in the last couple of photos. We got him at Christmas and brought him home from Montreal as a little ball of fluff. Well, he still has a bit of fluff, but there's nothing small about him ...
I initially found it very difficult to go to the offleash with Gilligan after Buddy died, as this had been a regular routine for many years with Buddy. When we got Gilligan, I had a wonderful time photographing them both. It just wasn't the same without Buddy.
Well, Smart Wife suggested one day that I just come and take photos of the dogs (Smart Wife knows how absorbed I can get when I'm photographing). Well, maybe this one time ... Well, I had fun, and I just kept doing it week after week. In fact, I even got a couple of unexpected customers that wanted a better photo of their dogs.
So my reason for posting these photos of other people's dogs in this thread is twofold:
First, to continue practicing pet photography (they take lousy direction, and would rather play than worry whether you have the shot or not),
and second, to hopefully revive interest in this thread. It was started by 4Labs, who has some great shots of his "pack". I have plently of shots of my own dog(s). I thought people might get tired of seeing the same pooch every week. I am hoping that others will be inclined to post photos of their furchildren, just like you did.
Here is Gilligan from a couple of weeks ago ...
Let's celebrate the life of Buddy and all dogs past and present by showing off their zest and passion for life ... So let's see more dog photos people! (That includes you 4labs :).
P.S. For those interested in a great read, I suggest "Marley and Me, life and love with the world's worst dog", by John Grogan. It should be a mandatory read for any dog owner ...

My dogs are totally neglected! Except for the fact that I come home, or if here I get up from the computer to feed them.
I took them to the beach once this year. After we got home, the 4 yr old corgi w dysplasia could barely walk, could not get from one room to the other. The next day he was fine, but I was wiped out!
My car is not air conditioned, the dogs drank sea water. whine whine. SO, I used to take a gazillion photos, it was dogs, dogs, dogs.........
Now it is dailies, dailies, dailies............and lately birds, etc.
I guess I have to take the dogs somewhere to photograph them. Was waiting for cooler weather, best excuse I can think of.
I have two Corgis, a red/white male and a tri female. I have an older Yorkshire terrier and she rules! Quietly, or yappy, but firmly.
I will post here, too. Either I didn't know this thread existed or I forgot.
Sorry for all the dogs who have died. I had a run of that about 4 and 5 yrs ago. It is wrenching!
Glad for all the dogs here!!!! They will rule the world, have access, all we ever wanted........................in a few years. Now, it can be inconvenient to take a dog with me.
Oh, yeah, and there are aligators where I shoot. The dogs, 3?, are allowed on leash, but I would shoot and not notice the aligator. Scary thought!
