Thanks everyone! He is doing great. I am not worried about the weight at all - I like my dogs a little on the thinner side (obviously! :biggrin I have gone through the adolescent male several times - this boy is a GOOD eater though. If it holds still, he'll eat it. We feed raw and he's eating 1/2 a pound a day - oink oink!!

Thank you!!!

Thanks! Actually, he is going to be silver. It's hard to tell in the photos, but his face has a silver cast to it and you can see around his nose and eyes where the silver hair is starting to show. I shaved his f/f/t a couple nights ago and it's showing up now even more.

That's what I love about digital - I can just delete the ones that don't turn out!!

It is really hard to get the right exposure with a dark dog.

Outside, I don't use a flash at all. I just make sure the sun is behind me and then will do a little post processing on the photos if needed. This is where Capture NX2 (a program for Nikon files) comes in handy!!

Can you give me some ideas on a good camera that would not cost an arm and a leg, or what I should be looking for in a camera, digital of course.

You could try to find a Nikon D40 - I don't think they are making them any more, but they are a good starter camera. The next model up is the Nikon D60 and it is a very nice little camera.

And then practice, practice, practice!!! (that's the fun part!)

Great action shots. Looks like a little spitfire!

Thanks - he's a ball of fire for sure!!

LOL - he is always going after the dandelions - i walk him through the park and he is covered in dandelion fuzz!

Thanks everyone! He is sooooo smart!! He will be doing agility with me (in a couple years, of course) but for now we are working on foundation stuff - he already does an automatic down on the table! Good poodle!!
