Thanks everyone for the kind comments! He has been a great pup! He's almost too smart for our good... Very trainable, but they are a very strong willed breed so consistent training is a must with him. He can be camera shy, but last night he cooperated!
I love the dog's expression, and the toning is very nice and understated ... just enough blur in the background to provide a setting and not be too distracting. The one thing I don't much care for is that large black slot/handle on the (ottoman?) in the left part of the frame, but not sure if very much can be done with it ...
