Yup, they are Mastiff. He has the wrinkles, they just don't show the same way through those colors. Bubba is a small-ish one, he has to stretch for 28" and tops out at 9 stone with all his collars and harness on. Still intimidates most people to cross the street when we're approaching. The other day a toddler in a stroller says "Mom! A cow!".

I have a few favorites of Ollie doing what Coco does, but what's keeping it from being af avorite is the tail fur damage

Extent of his tail damage should be clear here.

But some true keepers for me..

RBark · 02-17-2008, 03:28 AM

Can't decide between the next two..

RBark · 02-17-2008, 03:49 AM

I just remembered two more... Hope ya dont mind!

RBark I love the paw prints in the sand and Ollie standing there contemplating life. LOL All of these pictures are really nice.

Max'sHuman · 02-17-2008, 10:28 AM

Wow, these really are gorgeous pics. I think yours, Harrise, really capture your dog's moods or personalities or something. My favorite by far is the one of Coco sleeping. The quality of light in them is amazing. You must have an awesome camera.

And RBark, those are some great pictures. Not only does Ollie look cool (as always), but the scenery is breathtaking. It's like you don't know which to look at, the dog or the nature. I really like the pawprints one, the one of Ollie in front of the mountain or canyon and the one with flowers in the foreground.

Thanks for sharing guys!

I love COCO's pic as well! Its just so peaceful!

and RBARK, Ollie always look like he's one with nature. I wish I can take pictures like a pro!

Just so everyone knows, I use a Kodak Easyshare Z740 5.0 MegaPix. Got it as a present for Christmas a couple years back. I didn't start getting great pics like these until I, get this, read the owner's manual!!! I had been driving myself crazy trying to get a close up of a ladybug larvae, spent about two days playing with different settings and voila!

Then I was ready to take some shots...

RBark · 02-17-2008, 12:10 PM

Very nice! It's the same for me. Never got good pictures until I learned how to use the *bleep* camera.

Now a lot of pictures come out phenomenal. I have a fair amount of wonderful natural scenery. I recently took some amazing pictures of my snakes.

LMH · 02-17-2008, 12:24 PM

I love those pics, all of them and the quality. You have inspired me to read my camera manual-haha.

Everyone seems to favor pictures of their own dogs in repose, so here's mine.

Lorina · 02-17-2008, 01:46 PM

These are two of my favs.

Before:

After:

And this one, just because the tail has a life of it's own:

LMH · 02-17-2008, 01:49 PM

Awww-Ron those pics remind me of my childhood dobies. The femal was red and the male black. The red would always sit on top of the male one. I thought about them for years after they "disappeared". I used to have dreams of them often. My last dream was of them at the window seal of our old house. Spike was looking at me threw the window with a wagging tail. I felt that he was happy. I think that was his doggie spirit telling me they were okay. Go head,say i'm a freak-haha.

All these pictures are amazing, gorgeous animals and scenery. Ron is Molly bigger than that now? She still has her puppy feet she needs to grow into in that picture it seems. The picture of Beavis and the pawprints in precious! Harrise I googled that camera after seeing your amazing pictures. RBark, amazing scenery, and ollie is just gorgeous as well. heres mine:

I love the close up where the dogs nose is very distinct. Especially since "someone erased" part of Kodys

Camping

Love the way he is sitting and the cactus in the backround

Hiking

Oh, yeah.

I went to pick her up the other day and immediately thought better of it. She has some filling out to do, but is nearly as tall as Esther and, I'm guessing, about 50-55 pounds.

4dogs3cats · 02-17-2008, 03:57 PM

Oh wow. They are both gorgeous dogs. My fiances mom has a choc lab- but she is very very thick and small. Shes purebred from a breeder- but very short and stocky. can't even pick her up if you tried! This picture isnt so great but here:

We almost got a chocolate lab when we were looking before we got Chance, but we couldn't find any- but I like Chance just the same :-)
