Yes he is charming. The real expert in this breed will be Dee Dee. His expression does not seem to change a great deal. If I get an anxious pup, I may try using a longer lens and let the owner stay very close or even cover then in the backdrop or matching material and let them sit in the lap. The Borzoi I just posted was an example of that.

Were the owners happy? That is what really matters right? Whoops, were you happy with them, I guess that should matter too
