Beautiful dogs!

Mine are Australian, so I can't contribute. xD But! My mother and Grandmother have a house filled with German breeds. My mother has a Rottweiler, a Great Dane and a Standard Poodle. And my Grandmother has a small army of four Dachshunds. ;D The smallest of the Weiners is by far the most vicious. The least likely to bite...or bark...or get up and do anything...is the Rottie.

So very true...we have a rott and a chihuahua. We have to warn people about the chi and only the chi lol

I recently purchased a new lens and only just got to test it out. Of course I chose my favorite subject for the job! Apologies in advance for the photo dump, I originally edited and uploaded 50 - 60 of them.

Wow gorgeous pictures! I LOVE the pic with him in the grass looking at you with a few blades/foxtails in front of him. So pretty!

Thank you! I really like those types of shots, too, and love taking pictures in the long grass for that reason :)

Thank you, I really appreciate it! I ended up caving and getting the Nikon 85mm f/1.8 lens. Probably a little unnecessary because I already have the 50mm f/1.8, but I actually noticed quite an improvement in quality and speed. The images just come out cleaner in general, and the backgrounds are smooth and the bokeh looks nice. I am a huge fan of it already; the lens certainly lives up to all that hype!

This is my favorite picture! He's beautiful. And I love your avatar! :)

Some of you have already seen these pictures in my Red Dobie Puppy thread, but sharing some for the German Dog thread. :)
Our Red Doberman Puppy, Aria, who is currently 7 months old. We got her at 8 weeks. She's a full blooded sister to my older Doberman girl.



Photos of when we first got her at 8 weeks of age.

Oh wow, she grew up VERY nicely. She also has a very nice crop job - and I'm really picky about cropped ears on a Doberman. If I remember correctly, she's working bred?
