Incidentally we DO have a website--www.salonartistsgallery.com
It is only about 1/4th done.
So anyway I wanted photos of American's next Top Belgian while he was gaiting. I hired DH to do the photography since I couldn't do it and gait the dog.
It is hard to explain to someone who doesn't do it, what you want in a gaiting photo. I need both side movement and down and back. (I forgot about the down and back. So we had to do that later.)
So back and forth we went and then we stopped and stacked. And it wasn't bad. Puppy did pretty well considering he has only had two lessons.
Then I realised I hadn't done the down and back. For this, the photographer had to squat on the sidewalk (see at least I did this before it snowed) and these aren't as nice--Doc was all over the place and I didn't seem to be able to keep him in a straight line. Something that he will learn. (one hopes).
Not too bad. Especially for one so young. And then came the final shot, the one showing all his attributes, the one that takes your breath away and shows exactly what a magnificent dog he is going to be:
