AWESOME shot, Sarah! Buck is getting so big, I miss those puppy pics. That looks like professional photography! GREAT picture for the calender.

Wow, thanks for the great compliments everyone!

The group shot is amazing! Are you going to frame it?

I have a picture frame on my dresser that I switch out the photo for every now and then (usually it's a holiday picture of them), so it'll go in there. It doesn't really match my room though, so I'm not going to hang it up

Did you take those at home or at a studio?

These were taken on my bed! I have a headboard that I cover up with a tan blanket and use as a backdrop, and then I set up some lights around the room to avoid shadows, and set up my tri-pod at the end of the bed and shoot pictures.

How on earth do you ge them to stay like that?? I must know! lol

LOL I have them well trained Mandy actually is a little turd and could care less when I tell her to stay, but she doesn't mind laying down on my comfy bed that she usually isn't allowed on The other three are very good at staying.

April showers bring may flowers!

Yeah, I was thinking it would be good for a spring month. I bought those flowers for an easter photo shoot but I never got around to shooting those pictures, so I just used them for a summer shoot.

Holy Cow! Buck is HUGE! We need to see more updated pictures of him, how old is he now?

He's going to be six months old tomorrow!

6 months? thats it?? wow... he's going to be a BIG boy! He looks like he's the same size if not bigger then the other 3!

Both pictures are beautiful. I wish I could take pictures in such a professional setting. Guess I'm not creative enough.

Thanks Jordan.

6 months? thats it?? wow... he's going to be a BIG boy! He looks like he's the same size if not bigger then the other 3!

I don't expect him to be any bigger than 85lbs, but coser to 75 or 80lbs, which is in standard (80lbs is preffered max). His mom is 62lbs and dad is 75lbs.

Nova is 70lbs, Luka is 75lbs, and Mandy is 60lbs. Buck is 55lbs and shorter than them all ... but only shorter than Mandy by one inch. He is three inches shorter than Nova, who is the tallest of my dogs. He just has a big, masculine head. Oh and he hasn't grown in about 3-4 weeks now, he's slowing down and I think he's going to be this size for a while. I love how raw food keeps them growing slowly!

Wow, those pictures are gorgeous, Sarah! =) They absolutely belong in ANY dog calendar. The flowers are so cute, and look nice with the coloring of your pups.

Buck is suuuuch a good puppy!! I hope he got tons of treats, because I know my little munchkin wouldn't pose like that.
