Hi - He's a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel - (Blenheim colour) I've had them for over 40 yerars - NOT the same one ! and saw lots as patients as a veterinarian. They come in four colours, Blenheim, Tricolour (Black tan and white, Ruby (all chestnut red) and Black and Tan. They are slightly larger than the English toy spniel - or King Charles. They are usually a dream to photograph ! I don't usually dress them up !it was just a fun photo !
Thanks for asking - Pat

Hi
He's a CAVALIER King Charles Spaniel(colour Blenheim) I've had Cavaliers since 1963 (not the same one!) and saw lots in my work as a veterinarian too. They come in four colours, Blenheim, tricolour(Black tan and white) Ruby(rich chestnut red all over and Black and Tan. They are a bit larger than the English toy spaniel known as the King Charles and have longer noses ! They are great affectionate lively family dogs and are usually a dream to photograph. I don't usually dress them up - that was just a fun photo !

Is it me but shooting puppies indoors is a bait cruel. And not very sporting

Looks like Nadia did a great job and so did you! When I recently shot pics of our pups (just for fun), I found placing them on a posing stool worked best. Otherwise, they were off and running!

Any hints for shooting a tiny, active puppy indoors? He will be visiting us. I plan to confine him in a basket with blanket thrown over for background and get his attention with noisy toys. Will use natural light near a north facing window. Will get down on his level. Will try both portrait and sport mode as well as aperture priority.
I really think it's time to change the gun laws in the States. :lol:

If only we could replace most of the guns with cameras, what a nice world it would be.

Quite agree...but getting back to the photo shoot...you have from what i have seen, a good approach i.e. eyes in focus (nearest one to lens) good use of the thirds rule and never shoot down on a dog unless you need that comedic pose. Flash does not bother dogs, so balance your lighting with a nice 2:1 for colour or stretch it to 5:1, there about for B&W. Use a simple studio technique - main light to the front and higher than the camera, backlight that does not shed any light on the subject ( set this high (+2 stops) for a white background or less for a balanced/ coloured background. Lastly, set a hair light at about 2/3rds of a stop of the main light...wow!
