Gotta love those puppy dog eyes!

[Etnies]

Aww, cute. Love the last one.

[Tee Why]

Man, that's cute. I wish dogs could always look like a puppy and never grow up.
I know toy dogs are suppose to look like puppies but they really don't IMO.

[kimpav]

damn, that's a cuuuute dog!
congratulations...
and I loooove the second shot!

[Linkzi]

Thanks all! I just got her today. My wife did not want to put her down when she first held her in the crowded pet store. :D My kids were also very excited with Mom.

[Alex_H]

Lulu is beautiful! She looks like my 15-year old beagle/spaniel Penny who passed away in April :(

Our new dog Lucy (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=354975) (4 1/2 months) looks like Lulu except she is all black instead of brown/black.

[corythosaurus]

The 3rd shot is adorable!

[Momtothefurmonsters]

What a cutie! Enjoy!

[Linkzi]

Thanks everyone...It's been over 10 years since we had a puppy and I did not have a good sleep last night. :( It was her first day away from her mom and siblings.

It will be rough for a couple of weeks but will be worth it. I personally hate pet stores and would rather adopt from a shelter. But you did get a cute dog. My mom has 2 beagles so she would love these pics. Quick word of advice: Make sure she get vaccinated starting around 6-8 weeks old and avoid taking her to parks and other outdoor places until she is fully vaccinated.

Thanks...yes, she will have her second set of shots before we take her out in public parks!

[TeeJay]

AAaaww! I love the last one. However - it's a shame you cut off the paws (front and back) in the first two. Make a mental note for next time! ;-)

[Linkzi]

Yes...thanks for the comment, I wasn't too concerned on the paws because I have quite a bunch more. :wink:

[olson_24]

These are awesome! I have a 13" Beagle myself, Fiona. She absolutely hates the camera. I love the 2nd one!

I like Lulu's personality so far...nice and calm. She's just 7 weeks old now. The breeder said she's a 13 incher too. Thanks!

[kelstar]

Aww, such a cute puppy.

[amethyst dragon]

Very cute puppy!! Third shot for me.
Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.(Been in the veterinary business for 20+ years)
Have fun!!!

Thanks you for your offer, just took her to the Vet today...big hit there.:D


Aww, such a cute puppy.

Thank You! Mom could not put her down when she first held her.

[sgamuk]

definitely number three!!!! sooooo cute....

[olson_24]

I don't know if this is your first Beagle or not, but just a few notes:

Beagles not used to hunt have a tendency to get fat...watch what they eat.

Also, NEVER let a Beagle out of your sight when outside. It only takes them a second to find a scent at which point they will follow it. Don't trust "invisible fences" either...Beagles are little escape artists!

Lastly, they are prone to separation anxiety...This one's sooo cute, why not get another. They need companionship!

Anyway, I love the photos! I'm still trying to get mine to stop running away from the camera (not the best hunter as she hates the clicking sound).

This is my first Beagle. Thanks for the comments and tips. :wink: Now she can't keep still so I'm practicing focusing skills.:p

[Suicidenote]

adorable pics. love #2 & #3

[Alex_H]

Linkzi - What do you mean by a 13 inch beagle?

I second what olson_24 said. Never let a beagle out of your site outside. My 4.5 month beagle/pit bull is always following scents even when she's on a leash. Our late dog, a beagle/spaniel was the same way.

[Linkzi]

That is so funny for the dog taking off on a scent. The breeder told me my dog will be about 13 inches and 30 pounds. I did some research and the Beagles are classified as 13-inch and 15-inch. Since Lulu's parents are 30 pounds, she is actually a 15-inch classification but they start at 13 inches to a height of 15 inches. It was on a poster at my vets.

[Space]

Too cute.

[Linkzi]

Too cute.

Thanks Space! :D

Nice pics!!

+1 on all the above, esp the second comment. Beags are slaves to their noses. It takes a lot of training to get them to respond when they hit an "interesting" trail.

The last comment has a LOT of validity too. Two are less trouble than one. Trust me! You are in for some fun in just a couple months!!:-) Let the chewing begin!! Remember to get pics then!

Your Beagle will provide you with tons of photo opportunites both pleasant and not so much. They are inquisitive and masters at both escape and intrusion.

Enjoy and keep the camera handy!

[pakomo]

That last one, oh my god! :O It so cute, unbelievable! Too bad you didn't get the whole dog in the first picture, but it's still great as well.

Thanks! I can already see what you guys are talking about. She finds a scent in the yard and is determined to get whatever it is by digging.:confused: Consistently sniffing. Also very fast moving for looking for an escape path if confined.

[Gamut]

Outside the fact that she's cute as all get out, the exposure and color are terrific. Nice work.

[eym2]

cute puppy, and nice shots

[Linkzi]

Thank you very much, best compliments so far!

[Alex_H]

Are you going to post anymore pictures of Lulu?

Love the sad puppy eyes. he he he
Next to the other toy dog, she does appear to be a small pup. Very cute though. :)

I think Beagles are the cutest pups...that Pomeranian is a year old and Lulu is 7 weeks. It is so funny that the Pomeranian loves all the attention and is very mad at Lulu when she jumps on him by biting her.

[Russ B]

Those are too cute. It would be great if they stayed that way only potty trained.

[SkipD]

There's one thing about all the shots of Lulu that some folks may not recognize. These shots are much better than most because they are taken from a position much closer to the puppy's normal viewpoint than from a human's normal viewpoint.

I see so many photos of little animals that are taken from the photographer's standing position and most of those shots are very boring. These were taken with a much lower camera position than usual, and that makes a significant difference in my opinion.

Thanks Russ! yes, tell me about it...I just told my wife we live in a dog house (until she is potty trained). Once she gets bigger, she will stay outside.:D

Thanks for the observation SkipD, I almost always take photos at a person or animals head level. Why? because as you said, most people don't and looks boring.:wink:

[Gamut]

That makes a lot of sense, Skip. I'll keep that in mind. Although, sometimes they're funnier from a person's point of view.

NOTE: please don't judge this shot too harshly. I only posted it because I thought it was funny.

[angiebaby]

Oh my gosh, how absoultely adorable. I love the second one with the flower. How did you get her to lie still and not eat it?

[Linkzi]

Thanks... wow, she's a year old now. For some reason, this beagle doesn't overeat like I heard some others do.

[SoaringUSAEagle]

Some of the cutest pup pics I have seen in a bit. It really makes me miss my dog.

[Tee Why]

Any new pics?

[Linkzi]

This is her now, still cute but not so puppy looking.
