Photos of Finn!

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Those are perfect, fantastic action shots!! Wow, I know it is NOT easy to take a picture of a moving "object"! I am speechless here! What kind of camera are this pics taken with?

Finn is such a beautiful dog!!

I absolutely LOVE how much he seems to enjoy doing what he's doing! So very cool.

Super Finn...he really is super!

Thanks for sharing these pictures

Wow, such compliments, thank you! Yeah, action shots are never easy, and they are not my strong point at all. All the photos were taken with my Nikon D80. The Dock Dogs photos were taken by my boyfriend, Finn's number one fan, set on a manual setting (where you have to adjust the exposure), with auto focus. The darker action shots (where I noted how lean and strong he has gotten) were taken on the manual setting. The lighter action shots were taken on the camera's action setting. I'm not sure why it lets so much more light in, but it does. I understand my camera, but not fully. But, I also take 3 or 400 photos to get a couple action shots I like, hahaha.

Anyway, thank you for the compliments about Finn. Some of you may remember when he weighed nearly 90 pounds two years ago, so I'm very proud of all of us for getting him back to a healthy, safe weight of 65! I'll never let him get over 75 pounds ever again. And, he'd have to be either Super Muscle Boy or Couch Potato Boy before he'd reach 75 pounds again.

I know there's at least one other person who'd like to see these.

ME!!! ME!! I do I do!

You know I love me some Super Finn action shots!!!

He looks AMAZING!!
I'm so happy he's done well in the sport! He's a great boy!!


This is my favorite picture of him... he looks like he's out working a field for birds. The way his color blends into the background is beautiful!!!



I'm the same way about pictures! I'll take TONS just to get a few I love!
Just this past weekend we had a huge snow storm and I took around 850 pictures! I uploaded just under 400 of them.

I enjoy seeing your silly boy so much! Thanks for posting pictures!!
His vest looks GREAT!!!!

Finn is absolutely magnificant. What amazing photos of an amazing subject. I hope I get to meet that silly boy sometime soon

You guys make it worth the time it takes to get these images up and on Pet Talk. Several people have said how he looks like he's hunting birds, it's so funny, because he isn't a bird dog at all! The geese back home on the lake at my parents' all know Finn and wouldn't even fly or swim away when he would play in the water. He literally would swim within a foot of the entire flock and not even turn his head to look at them. Live and let live, that's Finn's motto.

Thank you for loving the photos, he's my favorite subject!

How did I miss these? I'm being miss lazy butt and surfung on cell in bed so they're not all showing up. I'll be on real computer later. I love those action shots! The crazy legs one made me laugh. And the one of him all dirty after playing is great. Was good seeing him again. Hug that boy for me.

Wow, look at Finn go! He's looking really great--all muscle! I love his vest, he looks great in it too. I keep hearing commercials for a Sportsmans Expo and they are having a Dock Dogs event. Every time I hear it I think of Finn!
