One of these little sweeties named Fur-arri, lives at our house, and is the most affectionate of all the dogs that have ever been with us.
This image does capture the focused alertness of the breed. Nice shot, even with the BG having the strong white spots.

Lovely pet portrait. Superb clarity on the face and I like the DOF that you used which accentuates the snout. As ever a great B&W conversion

Its a shame that your friend had to hold the dog as it does make the background a little busy, but this is just a very minor point on what is a superb image

The wideangle perspective view gives a slightly humorous look to this. Love the eyes. Slightly distracting background, but still good.

Adorable little face. Much busyness in the background (I think Gino was warming someone's lap); B&W helps mitigate that.

An adorable dog. Too bad you had a chin in the background.

Excellent shot! Slightly distracting background but not debilitating. B&W was a good choice. 7

I would prefer not to see the person in the background, but I like the treatment of the subject

background is a bit busy for a portrait, in my opinion
