Claude the Schnauzer

“Try throwing a ball just once for a dog. It would be like eating only one peanut or potato chip. “ ~ Roger Caras

Sitting in a basket full of tennis balls would have to be nearly every dogs’ dream come true. Well, for this cute and charismatic little Schnauzer, it really happened! Claude’s owner and I came up with something a little different. They wanted a photo that showed the energy and personality that Claude possesses. After a consultation, we came up with an idea to place him in a basket full of tennis ball… his dream and obsession. I think Claude couldn’t believe his luck when he saw his lawn littered with tennis balls.

Claude was an absolute pleasure to photograph. He was only 15months old and so well behaved and gave me his full attention. He had such great camera presence with so many wonderful looks. Thanks Claude for my wonderful afternoon.

What a great dog and so good to see he is so loved.
In the 3th pics, it looks like he has wings. In the 4th pic, it looks like he’s paralyzed and will be hit in the head with the ball. ZThe 6th pic is gorgeous. The 8th pic is sooo cute. And so are the 9th and 10th.

My Border Collie is ball obsessed AND my is a tennis pro. So we have tons of tennis balls around the house. I’m going to try that first shot (although I’ll need a much bigger box). Great work. I love your site.
