Ranger

By Rachel

My first photos I have taken this year are of a 9 year old German Shepherd named Ranger.  We met on campus this past Saturday and found some fun new spots for photos.  Ranger was such a good boy during our photo session.  He listened very well and did pretty much whatever we asked of him, including laying n a bench and sitting on a rock wall so we could get some green in the background of a few photos.  Ranger is the third German Shepherd I have photographed and I can see why this breed is so popular.  They are not only physically great looking dogs, they also seem to be very loyal and gentle.  There is nothing better than a big, soft,  cuddly dog that could also scare off a burglar if you needed it to.  These pictures are a surprise for Ranger’s mom!  I really hope she likes them.

We found Ranger’s mom on the senior walk.  See the name starting with Sandra?  It runs right into the middle of Ranger’s right elbow.

    Ranger is such a handsome boy…These shot are wonderful with my favorites being the last two. German Shepherds have such a strong presence and you really captured that…

    Oooooooh!!! Gorgeous. Course, I am a tad biased ; ) He looks great for 9! My Shepherd is looking a bit older at not quite 8. And yep, I think a German Shepherd is truly one of the greatest breeds on earth! So expressive, too. His mom is going to be thrilled. I love his big ruff. Wonderful shots!
