Thank you!!! He is 5 years old. I have pictures of his dad on my flickr too. Unfortunately the mom passed away before I got the camera. Both of his parents finished as champion show dogs too! My mom hasn't showed him yet though

My brother has a 1 year old and a 2 year old. Both males. The 1 year old has a champion blood line behind him as well, not sure on the other. Jager and Henry. I'd love to see any other pictures you have of them. I like the first photo, with the snow on his face and it doesn't bother him at all.

Thats really cool!

Just click on the flickr link in my sig and browse around. There should be a bunch more

Terrific photo of the dog, especially the first one. I think in the second dog photo, the trees do not add much. Crop them out, and emphasize the dog. If you take the photo with the sun at right angles to the dog in the woods, the sun might reflect off the snow and lighten the right side or dark size of the face. I would rather see the whole face. I would rather see a lighter tree rather than the dark one right next to him. The dog is the main subject, so do not let trees get in the way. I do like having the dog in the woods, however, and try more close-ups. You are great at those! Have you tried getting him on the run?

In the tree photo I think you can get rid of the dark trees in the background and the snow in the foreground. I really like the silhouette of the those trees, however. Nice shapes and the grey sky background makes them stand out nicely.
On second look, the shadows in the foreground are neat. It is just the black row of trees I don't like!

Great feedback! Thank you! I agree that the tree seems to be too distracting.
I do have some on the run. From another shoot, they are on my flickr already. I'll try to edit a couple of others from this shoot and throw 'em on here.
