Very well done, one of the hardest things to photograph is a black poodle, having had 3 of them, it's hard to get one as clear as these of yours, normally just a black shape, without texture in the fur.
The black is difficult. These were taken in the shade and UNDER exposed by one full stop. In shade with a dark subject the camera wants to open up for more light which will produce a black blob. In sunlight I over expose, the background is blown out but the black fur shows up.
