High speed hairball

[Northern_wanderer]

Nothing gets a snow dog wound up more than a cold and sunny winter morning. :D

This is Kato, one of my purebred Alaskan Malamutes. Eight years old (she acts like eight months old most of the time) and weighing in at 103lbs.

Shot with the 40D and 17-85mm IS. Minor PP work done in photoshop.

Great shot! Looks like a pooch with a mission.

I think you captured her enthusiasm perfectly! Very pretty pupper!

Welcome to POTN. Nice shot! Though her teeth bared like that might make me a tad nervous...

NIce shot there.
What is the shutter speed of this?
