Seem like a nice dog.
Is that breed hot-tempered?

I like the first picture the best as a dog-portrait.
The second one is a little bit to "busy" in the background. I tend to get stuck on the yellow thing on the wall.
Third one is a nice closeup. Good focus on the eyebrow, and could use just a tad more focus on the eye and nose.

Good work... keep 'em coming.

Hey PlanB,

My warm welcome to the forum I'm glad to see you sharing some photos already.
They are very cute and I think you've captured them nicely.
#1 like Khol said, is a more formal portrait and i think this comes across mostly through your dog's posture as well as the simpler background.
#2 exhibits it's adorable little figure i find and your idea of shooting from a lower angle works well IMO. If the background could have been a bit less cluttered, this shot would have been even nicer
#3 is interesting too but i have to agree that a greater depth of field would have worked better.

Overall i like the shots and your dog seems to like posing as well.
Maybe also try a looser crop around the subject for the next shots.
Thanks for sharing !

Im visiting this thread again to see if you've posted any new pics as i like this dog.

I agree with Thomas about pic 2. I think you should try to get that exact same pose but with another background. Would be really nice.

And... what i'd like to see that dog do, is a "sit nice" pose-picture taken just a fraction from the side. The pose i'm talking about is like the one in this picture: http://www.wearewag.org/Dog_sit.jpg
(Sorry i couldnt find a better picture, but i hope you get what pose i mean)

I think the dog itself looks the best in #2, little cutie , nice pictures, why do we love our pets so much.

Because they love us back, csmonte.

That is one softie little pup....love the fluff, and this one has a little tiny attitude to boot...great close up on the last one, and I like the second one, as well, but agree that the background doesn't help much..still you can see the personality shine thru...and I like the first shot, by way of a "formal" introduction to your furry friend..

well done!!

enjoyed seeing them.
