A regal Rat Terrier

Toto is over 6 months old now.  I've been wanting to create a regal portrait of her with our brown canvas background since she has such a pretty chocolate brown, black and white coat.  The opportunity came this weekend after a client session with the same background.  At first, my hubby tried to help me by using bacon treats, but those images didn't turn out as planned.  The next day when I went into the studio to look for the dogs, Toto was gracefully seated in the studio chair.  She was such a good subject.  I've listed the better portraits first and the ones where my hubby helped me last.  You can see Charlie in the bottom of two images; he didn't want to be photographed--just wanted the treats!  Enjoy!

Toto's ears...

Toto has adjusted very well into the Smith family.  Charlie loves to play with Toto and lately has been licking her on her lips!  GROSS!!!  I've been lax documenting Toto's puppy stages, but after her ears stayed up this past weekend, I had to share some images.  Toto appears bigger than Charlie in the sofa image, but she's not quite that big YET!  Enjoy!
