Albert @ 11 months

[JanS]

Sigh, this is already going to be his last month to be in the puppy porch. :running:

Here are a few photos of him from today and within the past week.

I posted this one on FB the other day, but I had to laugh when he stole Della's bone, and her expression pretty much says it all there. For the record, she's usually the one who does the stealing, so this ticked her off.


Getting good pics of him is getting pretty hard these days since he doesn't stay still so just when I get focused he goes again, like in this shot where he "was" in a nice stack.


Holding on to his prize bone while checking out what's going on in the yard. I took this through the smeary window so it's not the greatest.


Enjoying some deck time yesterday.


And a couple from today.


Barking at some incredibly noisy truck and trailer going by.


Head shot.

Hasnt time gone quick Jan they really wernt babies for long.. Albert is gorgeous and got a really nice face, He looks to be about the same shape as Zeus, still 'skinny teenager' but dont tell Albert that, I dont think he'd be very happy, Zeus like to think hes the tough man now

 

[Ethel]

big boy for sure, he is gorgeous, and Della's expression on the first photo is just priceless.

 

[Marinegeekswife]

Where on earth does the time go? He is such a big handsome boy now. And apparently brave enough to take his sister's bone. Uh oh.

 

[StarlightDobe]

wow he grew up so darn fast! I love the first pic, she really is ticked at him isnt she

 

[Ingrid H]

Such a gorgeous face! Awww... only one more month until he's a year old. I hope you are planning his party already

ha ha i know that look with the bone :shakinghead: poor Bella gets her's nicked all the time now, I am like a referee , wow where has the time gone, i remember when you announced you were getting a new puppy and we were all waiting for him coming and now 12 months later , OMG life is going past far too quickly with these kids , he looks so grown up in his pictures but i bet you still think of him as a puppy like I do with Buddy , everyone I meet thinks he is fully grown I say " oh no he is just a puppy" ha ha 26" high and 100lb not much like a puppy, Albert is so handsome and Della is just beautiful what more could you ask for

They do grow up fast! I love head shots of Albert! He has awesome color and always looks like he is thinking about something important!

Head shot.

Try to catch him mouth open,tounge out for his next head shot..
best time is after he has been doing some running around.
Get him to sit and with the help of someone drawing his attention,take your shots from side on.

Thanks all! It's always amazing watching them grow up in such a short time.

Thanks Iceman! I've always wondered about the open mouth and tongue out thing with Euros since that's usually the way I see them, and Albert does it plenty on his own. Is that more of a norm with them for more appealing photos?
More like this? I know that's not exactly what you're saying (first recent photo I found in my files), but along those lines?

 

[Rits]

He's grown up pretty nicely! Love his coloring, too

 

[Denissov43]

Jan; the dynamic duo is just beautiful! The Prince Albert is growing up to be quite the stunning example of the breed! and that Ms Della Do, is so dainty and feminine next to his bruiser ness!
love it!

 

[Liberty & Justice]

Geez a year almost already ? Seems like you just got him doesn't it ? I remember seeing him at 5 months old and he was a big boy then, I can only imagine now. So how tall is he now ?

 

[CloverMom]

Nice and handsome looking, Albert! I love his color!

 

[immortaldobes]

The best way to show a dobe head is with the mouth open...both the upper and lower jaw visible separetly,the head looks stronger.
At conformation shows, they are pepared for this with a litttle work out (just before they go into the ring),so as to make sure their jaw remain open during the time they are presented to the judge

Oh, I LMAO at that!!! So funny and she certainly looks a bit ticked!!! While Albert is contentedly gnawing the bone, ignoring her!! LOL Ah, boys! Like the others, I cannot believe he will be off the Puppy Porch so 'soon'!! Somebody stop Time for a while, huh?! Ah, but he's grown into a very handsome little man!!

 

[Dobs4ever]

Jan in the one picture you can really tell how he dwarfs Della now. He is going to be the Little BIG brother - A year - where did it go?

 

[Marko1962]

It's all so sad, all our little pups have all grown up boohoo, we look forward to them getting into adulthood and then when they do we want our pup back...

Yes you can see that Albert is bigger than Della now by what? 3 inches?
