I like the first one. His head is still but the rest of the body implies movement.
The PP fanatic in me would have tried to clone out the oof wheat stem that crosses the body and gone for a square crop.

They may not be in focus but who cares - that dog is having fun!
These remind me of Ted our Cockapoo that does at this the first sign of water but with his coat it means having to bath him afterwards, He does this all the time and then in the van (I won't say it's my baby and precious) I have to make a cocoon of towels and throws to keep the interior nice and away from the mud and water!
Do you have the same problem I do?
Get a dog they said, it'll keep you company when out shooting images they said, a few YT photographers have them and look how they enrich their time out they said.
Reality is - Ted likes to jump up to say hello to you - I get wet...or muddy.
I stop to look at a scene he barks to say "C'mon, lets get going"
I compose an image, it could be fresh sand or a lovely water scene with a reflection or some nice dry rocks and at the precise moment I go to press the shutter - he'll run into the scene really happy with himself, and then jump up at me to say hi and I'm soaked - or muddy!
Low to the ground stuff and looking at the screen or the viewfinder - he'll come and jump at me as I'm low to the ground and knock me over and proceed to lick my face - or try to. I'm again wet...and muddy.
All in all - dogs and landscape photography don't mix!

Thanks for all the comments Sam is a proper water dog first bit of water and he's in it looking forward to seeing what he makes of the beach and the sea when we finally are allowed to go

You forgot the bit about putting a nose-print on the front element of your latest expensive lens

You joke but I'll give the command to sit and I'll go in for a shot but as I lock focus on the eyes he's already jumping up at me in excitement as he knows the camera means we're going out. When we're out and about and I try he does the same! Maybe he knows we're going home
I now go out by myself and feel guilty he's missing out on the exercise so I'm guilted. Can't win either way

Many moons ago, at the end of a day's shooting (guns) our springer spaniel was placed in a corn sack, with just his head protruding, this dried him off, kept him warm and kept the van clean, his name was Sam, a great gun dog, still missed after 60 years.

That says nice things about you both. They do leave a big hole in your life when they're no longer around don't they?
Be well, stay safe.
