Good to see your pups! Dance looks so pretty in the snow! I love the closeups of the Dobies! They're all three adorable!

My dad and I were talking about getting a dog that we would own together, and he said he really likes Rottweilers. And I said, 'I'll make you a deal, we get a Doberman, you're pick', and he goes, 'RED'. I'm SOLD! I've secretly been thinking about a Dobe for quite some time now, and I'm glad that we would be able to 'share' this dog!

Haha, I agree, reds are the best! But do make sure you do a lot of research on the breed if you decide to head in the Doberman direction. They are (in my experience) much more head-strong, demanding and difficult to raise than a Rottweiler. I love the breed very, very much, but there are some days I wonder what we got ourselves into, LOL. Make sure you do a lot of breeder research too -- Dobes are plagued by bad breeders. And they have some pretty major health issues, so be very, very careful where you get a Dobe.

Yes I do have a very big thing for Orcas -- always have! I was so excited when I found two collars with an Orca print on them, LOL.

I used different settings for the action shots, trying to see what worked best in the lighting those days. Mostly I kept my camera on Aperture Priority mode though with an aperture of f/2.8, with ISO 400.
