A couple of hours driving on Friday so I could have a bit of quality bonding time with this little chap.

We collect him on Saturday and then the "work" begins. This is going to be fun.

What's the big deal? Why couldn't you have just taken him Friday? He's so cute!!!

The first image is very impressive. It looks like a set for a fantasy movie. Love the colors, the tonality, the composition and the dark background which makes the shot even more dramatic.

The path leading in to first house was blocked by several fallen trees so it looked like noone had been there this summer at least. At the other place the roof has caved in on the main building.

Dew always makes a photo great!!! You have the eye.

Good reasons to assume they are abandoned..

The "big deal" Bill is that this is a pedigree dog bred by a UK Kennel Club authorised and registered breeder. And, entirely for the benefit of the dog, under KC rules it is not to be released to a purchaser until it is, at a minimum, seven weeks old. Young Erik is seven weeks old next Thursday.

And yes he is a gorgeous little thing. And his dad (2017) and grandad (2016) have both won Best of Breed at Crufts dog show (serious stuff) so it looks like I might have to learn some ring craft. Should keep me out of mischief.

David

He is so precious. The American Kennel Club has similar rules here, between 7 and 8 weeks of age. But doing the math on Rosie’s birthdate June 13, 2009 to when we got her on July 27,2009...she was only six weeks old

Allie was almost four months old, Sammy was about 12 weeks old, and Sunny was nine weeks.

Not bad considering the rough lighting conditions...

Aquaroid · Sep 25, 2018

Really nice capture!

But I'd have edited out that structure in the background between an ocean and a guy, imho.
