I find that natural pictures work out best no posed pictures.
Catch them at play or sleeping or something.

Aw, that last one is lovely! Very nice, I bet you are chuffed with that - but who or what was alerting them to your left?

I find it nigh on impossible to get a nice one of my two, especially because of Bella, she NEVER stops moving, she practically looks blurry to the naked eye!

It is a nightmare to get a picture of the Midget and Tina as they are both always on the move! (Unless waiting on a retrieve) whereas the Beastie loooooves to pose! I have the most gorgeous picture of her in my room, although it is a pro pic, I'll see if I can find a link to it.

bribing with food or a toy preferably squeaky or the stay command...has varying degrees of success tho...
i like the natural pics too tho bacause they tend to catch my mutts personality better....sleeping,lazing around the curious what have u got in your hand face

Although Otto is more active than several thousand Duracell bunnies, he is very good at posing, good job because pictures of him being 'active' tend to have either a greyish blur in the middle or him leaving shot with an ear/nose/leg/tail left!

I think you need to take 10 pictures in quick sucession and you might get one that has everything in the right place

My Parent's Dogs are very good at posing, it get instilled in them at an early age

Thank you all for our help and advice.
It was my OH to my left.
They "usually" are pretty good at Stay but Jess (the one on the left of the last pic )is camera shy so all in all she did well to be there at all!
I must get into the habit of taking the camera and OH to help!) out on walks with me I think.!
hope you all enjoyed the pics though and had giggle at my feeble attempts.
