POTD 4-18-2008

Meet Raider. He was the source of all my frustration today. We got him from Animal Control just over a month ago and over all he is a great dog. He was picked up as a stray and they figure him to be about 4 months now. My biggest issue is he seems to have a bit of an aggressive streak that I am pretty sure is not normal puppy behavior.

Again, played around with different edits after taking this shot today.

SOOC


version 1


version 2

Beautiful dog. HOpe he outgrows the negative behavior. He is really checking you out and weighing things....note that expression.

What a beautiful dog! Keep working with him and he'll get better! We used to have to keep people away from our dog, but we contiuned to work with her and she's so ggod with people now.

I really like version 1, just enough contrast for me.

Jess said...

Aww, he is beautiful! I'm sorry to hear you are having a problem with him though. I hope he calms down for you!

I am in LOVE with your 2nd shot!

He's a beauty, and looks like he's going to be a big guy! Hope you get his issues worked out.

He is adorable!!!! I love black labs, we have one elderly black lab and are looking for a puppy.
Beautiful shot of him too, I really like the first SOOC shot.

I love me some puppies... and he is gorgeous. I hope he chills out, because he sure looks like a keeper. Love the first and second shot the best. That second reminds me of all the cool ducks unlimited books my husband gets. Great job.

It almost makes me want another lab! Gorgeous dog and I really like all of the pp's here. Good work!

What a great puppy picture. Labs are puppies for a long time...as long as you give him love, and don't treat him badly (which I am sure you won't) he will kick out of it.

He is so beautiful...look at that coat.

Raider looks just like our black lab, Jet. What a cutie! Great shot - sometimes labs are hard to captuer (IMO) with all the black. Great job!
