(my eye could be just failing me here, Barb... Image seems like it could be improved with a slight rotation to the right...so wagon is level... my two sense)

Barbara - congrats and good luck (on this one and your others!) - these puppies are just too cute!

Congratulations Barbara! This is just so cute! Is that your puppy escaping there? You really had a successful photo shoot with those little puppies, broken arm and all!

Thank you Kathy.

Well, if it wasn't for your suggestion I would have NEVER thought of using a wagon. I used a tripod with a remote switch to photograph this litter.

I couldn't have done it without the terrific breeder, Mark Mohapp and my daughter, Ellens' assistance. It was quite comical with the two of them piling the pups in the wagon and Showgirl (now named Stella) kept on jumping out.

The first time I photographed this litter they kept on peeing and pooping everywhere. One would do it and then it was a chain reaction. I went through a whole roll of paper! This time they were a little older and not as many accidents.

My puppy, Tess is the third on the left. She is the timid, shy puppy of the litter who is finally, with a lot of work, coming out of her shell.

Thank you everyone for your positive comments. This was the second time I ever attempted puppy photography. It was a truly fun, exhuasting experience. So much so that I fell head over heels in love with the pups, we now own one of them.

With warmest regards,
Barbara

Barbara, I fell in love with Bernese Mountain dogs as a young girl. I think they are the very cutest puppies around and they grow up to be such beautiful, intellegent and loving dogs. You are so lucky to be able to own one! What a fun experience to photograph an entire litter. I tried a photoshoot with a litter of puppies and 4 kids, I can feel the pain. LOL

Aaaawww, this is soooo cute! I love Bernese Mountaing dogs, they are adorable. Great capture! Congrats!

I knew this was a winner!! Congratulations Barbara!! Judy

What a great shot!! You are a real pro.

My girlfriend has a Bernese Mt Dog by the name of Brinkley. I show her your site last night and she fell in love with these photos.
