Excellent set of pictures, last one is my favourite if I had to pick.

I agree with Mike, they're all very cute but the last one is a beaut. What a relaxed pose, even a bit of spittle dribbling out (reminds me of Stimpy!) The DOF isolates the litle pup perfectly too.

Thanks for your comments.

Gareth you are right about the softness of the faces.

The sharper ones were taken with a GX-20, the softer ones with a K-7 - all focussed on the pups eyes.

However I have done a lens AF adjustment on the GX-20, but not got around to it on the K-7 yet as I have only just had it. I'll do it before I do any more shoots though.

Cracking shots! I've often been tempted to go to Donna Nook myself and your pics have convinced me that I should one day - the last three are my favourites - love the way the little fellahs stick their tails in the air.

I must go there, it looks fantastic. I love seals, I went snorkelling off the Scilly Isles and swam with them, they are just like dogs.

How could anyone smack it over the head and wear it? But that's another topic altogether!

Like the last one best.

It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog!

Aaaaaahhhhh. (high pitched female American voice: "They are sooooo cute"
Sorry, couldn't resist.

Good series, my vote goes to #4. They are nice little buggers!

Some fantastic shots there Tim
I keep saying I'll go to Donna Nook someday but never seem to get round to it.
Perhaps a future Pentax Meet?
