A stand and a sit is always nice- but dont always have to = have the 2=20 together each time you send a pic.

For taking pics of the dog standing from the = side- If=20 there is no one to hold the leash he/she can be tied up to a = fence for a=20 few minutes- or when he is just out playing in the yard(they seem = to be=20 better then when he/she is tied to the fence).

If you want to put boy/girl in a show stand it is the rear = foot=20 that is closest to you that gets pulled back.

A sit w/the top of ears to the bottom of = the feet=20 is always a nice pic for seeing dogs face and color! - Camera on = same=20 level as the dog.

A head shot is always lovely for seeing the dogs = beautiful face- but we dont have to have that.

Laying down pics always look so pretty too but hard for us to see = size, etc. if they are the only pics we ever get. = We LOVE=20 to see pics of the dogs swimming!, playing, pics w/family, = etc.-if you=20 like! :-)
