Dachshund Puppies! - {Idaho/Utah Pet photographer}
Over the weekend I had the opportunity to photograph another litter of dachshund puppies. For those that don't know, my sister breeds dachshunds. There were originally seven in this litter, but the runt had FTT (failure to thrive), and passed away a week after birth. Very sad:-(
But the remaining six are very healthy, and VERY wiggly little pups! There are four girls and two boys. This time I brought my pup, Orion, to meet all his new brothers and sisters! Orion was one of the pups born in the first litter, and he is almost two years old. This makes his momma's third litter. Orion was not too thrilled with all the puppies. Actually, one sniff of them and he turned tail and ran away! He did enjoy seeing and playing with his parents again. I often wonder how good their memory is, and if they remember him as one of their pups.
A lot of other things were going on at the same time I was trying to do the puppy portraits. As a result, I had to put off the shoot until very late at night. But once we got going, it went together very quickly, and I was able to get some ADORABLE shots of all the puppies.
The hardest part was getting all six together. This is always very tricky, because they never like to hold still. However, since it was so late, it was well past their bedtime, and they really just wanted to sleep. I lined them up in a row on my soft bean bag and they fell right to sleep - except for one. Stubborn little girl would NOT go to sleep. We could see she was so tired, but she was really fighting it. We finally managed to get her to lay down, though, and the resulting image just melts your heart!
So without further ado, here are some of the best from the shoot!
