The attachments attached and it is a really nice photo. beautiful color and details.

Having worked with both, show, competition(race and coursing) and pet people, I can say that photos like that will be saleable, but, you will probably be limited to people buying a 4x6 or 5x7. As an art print, or as a stock image, you may have more financial success. I don't think people would pay a session fee just to have you shoot candids and then spend what one would want after the session. Someone might, but, I think you might starve if you were counting on that as your income

People hire pet photographers to get shots they cannot. Just like people take their children to photographers to get portraits, not candids.

I know Jim has been doing this much longer than I have. I started out with natural light outdoor photography and it is still my favorite. I still have many people who want portraits outside. Which, I am more than happy to do. Most want posed or semi posed portraits. Most want something they can hang on their wall.

I do well with candids at dog shows. Candid refers to simply non posed. It doesn't mean they weren't set up. I have some *beautiful* candids that could be portraits, but, they are still candids.

It just depends on what your goal is. Artful prints for ones own enjoyment, stock images, selling to owners or something else. I have had *by far* the most financial success with posed portraits. Hour for hour, they are the most likely to bring in a decent paycheck
