I certainly plan to shoot at eye level for the large and small dogs, I think the 2 ft height will be enough for both breeds, at least for me. I do not want to get to high because I do not want to scare the animals with a high table or a table that reminds them of the vets office. I have shot thousands of animals in the wild from eye-level; but I know that pets are a bit different because of all the arranging of the feet and heads, chasing down the toys, etc.
