with a huge gallery of images for mom Kim, it’s very difficult for me to narrow down the images for the blog, so bear with me …

we had a blast in the park across the street … lots of running …

    Great pics! You sure captured Sasha’s personality! Love the running pics – you can just see the wind whipping through her fur.

    I love the one in the park with the leaves, where her hair is standing straight up! Adorable photos and pup.

    The kinky fur on the top of her head cracks me up. She looks like a wild child. Great pics!

    Your photos are gorgeous and I love the different perspectives you bring to the animals!!
    Just one little point, Sasha is a Havanese and not a terrier. This breed is descended from the Bichon family of dogs and originated in Cuba. They are known for their exuberance and love of all things!! They especially love to “runlikehell” so your comment the she “goes like stink!” brought a smile to my face.

  10. It was delightful to see Sasha’s images. We own the sire of this litter, Katsura and she looks a lot like him.

    We hold a puppy picnic each year in Richmond Hill. We will have to talk to you closer to the time to see if you are available and what your costs are.

    It is always nice to see your own dog in another dog’s face.

    Your eye is wonderful.

    I don’t know why I never commented on these before… must have been my dialup problems! An amazing shoot and boy has she ever changed!

    Yup, you caught the spirit of the Havee – when they’re flying through the air, ears streamlined, you got it! After 21 yrs with my spaniel (and Bert), it took something very special – and she’s it. I actually took her to him before agreeing to purchase – his opinion – ‘she’s a keeper’ – to the extent he is her guardian! He adores her. Buck is moving to Bridgeport Plaza in Dec. – I’ve gone to the old office for 50+ yrs.
    Bella is definately something special (I have 31 yrs +ive training).
    At almost 6 mos, she is a beautiful example of the pure breed. Stands about 5″, absolutely gorgeous coat ranging from 4 white paws to blond, apricot, chocolate tips. Loves to pose, a true dancer.
    How do we get in touch with you?
