As there a few members here now, I though I would ask for some help from those of you with dogs!

I want to do a photo project, and I need some good doggy pics to do it.. I need the pic of your friend to be clear, and any backgrounds to be a decent contrast - no golden retrievers on yellow sandy beach or chocolate labrador in coal hole! Actual picture quality is not too important.. as long as the subject is clear, and a normal shape!

Initially the project is for my own amusement, and I am happy to share the results with any contributors, but I would appreciate it if you would give consent for me to use the resulting pics - any commercial will be in aid of Manchester Dogs home and/or other charities ONLY..

I generally use sparkydog pictures, but it would be good to have some variety!!

I can let you have some, of a golden unfortunately but with good backgrounds, although he does match the carpet these are in the garden. let me have your email and off they will go and yes you can use them,

tut, I can't help with this one Gord, I like dogs but not enough to have one of my own...I'll ask around though! You could always try istock and dreamstime if you get stuck too!

Thanks for those Nickie, though I am hoping to base all the stuff I make on"amateur" models!! sort of "Sparky and Friends" though commercial pics are often cleaner and easier to edit and use.. so I can see my design ethos crumbling by the end of week one!

Can't you get MDH to lend you some dogs?

Now thiers a new lead for you

Arh right, I get you now! Good philosophy Gord, I'll ask around for you then...natural is defo more appealing than posy studio shots!!!

New lead...

Actually, I dread setting foot in the place.. Apart from taking Sparky back for her snip n zip, I daren't trust the O/h!! we went "just to look" and ended up £55 poorer, with a dog, a collar, a lead, and a bag of dog food!

There's 3 dogs in this house as it is, and it would all too easily be 4!!!!
