Congrats on your new family member! I love Bernese Mountain dogs. Now not to steal your thunder, but the title of cutest dog is already taken by our Border Collie pup "Spryte" :D

Photos may look a bit bright - got my monitor calibrated for the photo lab.

Gents, I think it's a draw.

Lovely dogs indeed. And lovely shots to boot.

Cheers, Mick :) :) :)

Is there such a thing as a puppy that doesn't look cute?

Great images, of some beautiful animals.

Cute kid photos do nothing at all for me, but gorgeous puppies like these ... I can coo for hours over. :)

Dave, you're bringing Brandy to the dinner tonight? :) :) Bugger discussing camera gear: puppies are far more fun!

Great dog, but, in all honesty (as opposed to partial honesty), I actually prefer it's original name, although I am not sure what the "Zaanz" means, but naming it after a drug fuelled 60's band is pretty cool.

zaanz is the stud/breeder/kennel name - Zanzebern Bernese - http://www.zanzebern.com

Standing at te back door yelling "Velvet Underground!" sounds a bit... er... "drug fuelled" to me :D

You could always yell "Lou".

With these breeds, I think you have to watch out for hip dysplacia (sp), but they are great dogs.

Yup - she will be on a joint supplement starting in a couple of weeks and will need to be checked regularly.

"Nico" might be a more appropriate name as she's female.

Now, the best of Brandy, for me, is number 4 because of the colours and its serene and relaxed attitude; while the third image of Spryte is, I believe, the best of his pictures.

I'll bet you both will have your work cut out with the new family member.

Bernese Mountain Dogs are beautiful dogs and you have a gorgeous one there. Spryte is also extremely cute :D

This title was taken (he says boasting some pet prize photo comps) by our Mini Schnauzer "Gromit" :D :D :D
