Baby Bullies.....a whole litter of cuteness! {Atlanta and Cherokee Dog Photographer}

When I drove up to V-Tech Kennels to meet Joe Morris and his dogs, I wasn't sure exactly what to expect. Very quickly I got to meet Joe and his family and felt right at home, and found out that Joe has a very interesting background. He is an animal behaviorist and trainer, as well as having experience working to break up illegal dog fighting operations. So when he says he understands dogs of the bulldog variety, I believe him.


To meet the dogs and get comfortable, as well as give them some exercise, we went outside first. The pups are still babies and not sure what to think about the great outdoors, so it was funny to watch their reactions. A few decided to be adventurous and explore, but I found that they kept crawling up into my lap every time I crouched down to get a shot.

This is Marco, about to chew on my knee.






This is uncle Lefty, who also came out for a bit of playtime.  Hey, someone has to show the youngsters how it's done!  This guy was such a big softie:  he liked to bump that big square head against my knee to get more petting.  He has a great disposition and is a very happy dog.

Once we got inside it was time to set up for the babies first photoshoot.  Ready?  Here they are:

 Two Face


Marco


Bessie


 Baby Deuce

 

 Black Dog


Bucky
 I have to point out that as the big boy of the litter, Bucky's posterior barely fit on my chair.



 Blue
 


Lilly



 Then we did some groupings in the basket.  Seemed like a great idea to the humans, but the pups weren't so sure.  The second shot, in particular, is begging for a funny caption.  (If you have an ideas, feel free to pass them along!



By the way, several of the pups are spoken for and will be 'leaving the nest' soon, but if you'd like to inquire about availability please contact Joe at V-Tech Kennels.
