Moto – Frenchton (Frenchie Boston Mix) -mini session in Kelowna

IMG_3282t

If was a long wait but finally I got my puppy, I wanted to share the story with you… After I photographed Sophie and Mila I came to the conclusion that Frenchton would be a perfect match for my energy and the apartment living. I hoped to get the pup from the same parents as Sophie and Mila, but was told that the parents were retired and fixed. Then I got an email from a nice lady named Jodanna looking for a mix like that, I responded wishing her luck in her search and asked to let me know if she finds one. The very next day I got an email back with the breeder information! Wow, that was fast! Jodanna lives in Kelowna, the dogs were in Calgary, me in Vancouver.. She got to see the pups as she was just in Alberta visiting  the family, within 24 hours I had the deposit down on Mischa. But here I wanted to introduce you to her brother Moto, he is so adorable!

Moto at 9 weeks is very mellow and his is the only puppy from the litter that was naturally born. He came to this world in a taxi cab, when his mom went into labor little too early and had to be taken in for the c-section.

He fell out of the cab right to the curb and if it was not for the driver he would have been left behind unnoticed. Lucky for him he was spotted and cared for immediately. This next photo is my favorite as it is so out of the character for this loving puppy..

Jodanna was absolutely fabulous to us and drove Mischa from Calgary to Kelowna with Moto, we picked her up from their house and that is when I had just a few minutes to take some snaps of their lovely pup.

Moto is so easy to photograph, unlike Mischa that does not stop at all…

I cannot believe how many puppies I got to photograph lately, it is quite a challenge, but so much fun!

I would like to express my gratitude to my new friends from Kelowna, Jodanna and Jeremy! Thank you guys so much for caring for our little girl!

I thought that ball was so great I had to get one for Mischa too, but she pays not attention to it..

And here is the pair together, they are two days apart as they have different moms. Moto’s mom is Hope, Mischa’s is Faith (both Boston Terriers and sisters) and the father (French Bulldog) is named Diablo!

These little guys are just 9 weeks now and there are still some puppies available in Calgary…tempting?

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends!

Mingus Presa Canario puppy – Off Leash Dog Photography session in Spanish Bank, Vancouver BC

Mingus_beach

The weather is not cooperating lately, even dogs do not like to hang out in the wind and rain, but we got a lucky break this Wednesday and managed to photograph Mingus  a Presa Canario Puppy of 6 months and 70 lbs! We met in one of my beloved places for dog photography Spanish Bank (also known as Spanish Banks) in Vancouver. It was a crisp morning, but the rain stayed out of our way.

We were on the beach when all of sudden we saw a plane flying low and heading straight for the city, my heart stopped..until I realized that this is 11 am on Remembrance  Day  and the plane is heading to fly above the parade. Amazing how 9-11 changed the way we think and look at things..

Plane

Do not look for the dog in the photo above,  the plane was making so much noise that Mingus preferred to back out a bit towards the shore.

Mingus is a sweet guy, he does not like to go in the water and likes to stay close to his mommy, that always changes the dynamic a bit, by we managed just fine.

Mingus_air

Mingus is in such a great shape, he runs lie the wind and gets airborne, to bad the tide was up and we did not have much of the beach to work with.

If you are coming to my blog regularly, you probably noticed a watermark on my photos, unfortunately this is how I am going to showcase my photos from now on, I will not get into details, but I will sleep better knowing that my photos are not used when not authorized.

Mingus_run

His mommy says he reminds her of a cheetah and looking at the photos below I agree…

Mingus is a fast runner, too bad that he disappears in the fall background..perfect color match!

Mingus’ father weighs 165 lbs, so this puppy is going to more than double his size. I sure hope he can keep his energy up too.

Of course we cannot photograph the dog on the Vancouver Beach and do not use the city as a backdrop…

Mingus_Vancouver

I do love fall, it used to be a favorite time of the year for me..well until I  moved here.. In Poland we have Golden Polish Autumn where the days are sunny and warm, Vancouver is quite different sometimes the sun does not show its face for weeks. I do love living here, do not get me wrong, I am not complaining! The rain is the price I am willing to pay for living in one of the most spectacular places on the planet.

Big thank you to Mingus and his humans! It was such a nice surprise  when the man of the family showed up in the middle of our session with hot tea for us to enjoy. It melts my heart when people are so nice!
