Mac the Dane x | Sydney Dog Photographer

Wednesday, May 22, 2013

After meeting Mac at his pre-session consult I couldn’t wait for his photo session. Unfortunately the weather was rubbish and then he sliced his paw open so I had to contain myself for a few weeks. When we finally got down to business Mac didn’t disappoint. He loved all my treats and all my toys and the camera loved him.

That smile!!!

This is his owners favourite – his lion pose – so I had to make sure I captured it in all it’s glory.

Mac decided that my bag of toys was all for him and when he got bored of one he went and helped himself to a new one. I was warned that he was a toy destroyer so when I saw the duck become his new favourite thing I accepted that it wouldn’t be coming home with me. Not long afterwards it was beheaded.

RIP duckie!

It’s all about Bruno pt5 | Sydney dog photographer

Tuesday, May 14, 2013

It’s been a long long time since pt4, so stand back while I flood the blog with photos of my muse!

Of course it’s not all just standing around looking gorgeous, he gets to be a silly dog too.

If you don’t want to wait another year for pt6, you can always like Bruno’s Facebook page.

Von Forell Practical Decoy Seminar

Tuesday, May 14, 2013

I’m going to preface these photos with a quote from Glenn Cooke of Pet Resorts Australia [who hosted this seminar]:

“For those of you who don’t understand working dogs – all these dogs are sociable and were around 20+ people all weekend. Working dogs, when done by the right people, is a lot of fun and it builds drive in the dogs while also allowing them to burn off excess energy.

Many people assume that doing this type of work makes dogs aggressive when usually it has the opposite effect. It teaches them to control aggression and not attack from fear which is, and generally has been, the ongoing issue by poorly socialised, badly bred dogs.”

Kris from Von Forell regularly runs workshops all over Australia. Keep an eye on his website for announcements.

Lauren - What a gorgeous group of dogs! They all look like they are having a blast. I love to see all the natural tails & ears, hopefully that’s something that can catch on in the US. Obviously it doesn’t make the dogs any less awesome.

Jackson pt2 | Sydney Dog Photographer

Friday, May 10, 2013

Back in February I introduced you to Jackson. I regularly post photos of him on Facebook. I bring him to pet events with his “adopt me” vest on. He’s been featured on the Puppy Tales blog. Everyone who meets him loves him and lots of people wish they could give him a home but their current circumstances won’t allow it. Despite my best efforts to promote him, three months later he still hasn’t had so much as a meet and greet. We have no idea why, he’s such a great dog!

So, while he’s waiting, here are some more photos of his handsome face.

A few weeks ago Trixie celebrated her 7th “birthday”. This was the hardest photo shoot Jackson’s ever had to partake in. He didn’t understand how there could be five yummy treats in front of him but he wasn’t allowed to gobble them up. He managed to get through it but the look on his face remained utterly pathetic throughout, God love him!

It’s Jackson’s 2nd birthday on 15 June [which is the same day as the Fetching Dogs Trivia Night, buy a ticket!] and we’d really love for him to get to celebrate it with his new family, so please share his profile far and wide > http://www.fetchingdogs.com.au/dogs/jackson/

Ruth O'Leary - He’d probably try to get them to play with him!

Ruth O'Leary - And if we didn’t already have four dogs we’d absolutely keep him. Four is our limit.

Sonya Slyer - hi Heather!!!! WE hve to catch up…it’s been way tooo long!!! Saw my gorgeous girls today so life is good xoxoxoxox

Angela Tyler - So sad Ruth, that makes me cry I think he wants to stay with you!

Chris Ditton - I would love to give him a forever home! But I live in Victoria and couldn’t take the chance of the BSL laws and quality of life would be compromised

Jacqui Slyer - Too cute mum.. I think he would love the farm xx

Dina Solomonides - He’s adorable!

Heather MacMillan - Have a great holiday.

Sonya Slyer - love him… we are having a holiday for the first time in 14 years… we just had to put our beautiful old dog to sleep and I am grieving… maybe if he is still around when we get back we should meet and greet him! wonder what he would be like with our calves!

Simon - I would be interested in adopting him, can you contact me via my email so I can ask a few questions on his personality please?
Thanks!

Prudence Ratcliffe - I wish I could take this little guy. What a sweety

Adopt me 04.13 | Sydney Dog Photographer

Tuesday, May 7, 2013

I’ve done HEAPS of rescue shoots since I blogged Viking and Legend [who've already been adopted, yay!], so I’m going to put them all here into one great big gallery. Some have already found homes, but you can enjoy their pretty pictures anyway. All of the dogs are from either Fetching Dogs or Arctic Breed Rescue. The token cat, Tardis, is from the shiny and new Fetching Cats – go and like their page you crazy cat people!
