Meet the dogs

Flynn the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel | Geelong Pet Photography

 Adorable Flynn came along with his mama for a session a few weeks ago and let's just say I melted like chocolate when I saw how cute he was!

SUCH a happy little soul with a waggy tail, he was just a pleasure to be around.    

Flynn has been with his mama since he was 2 years old and was an Australian Champion (guess the judges melted too!).    

It's hard to believe he is 7 because he is like a happy puppy, so I guess that's a testament to the amount of love and care he has always been around.  

Leave some comments for the gorgeous little Flynn.  If you didn't have a soft spot for cavs, you will now!




 

Two Red Dogs - Djindi and Illy | Dog Photography Ocean Grove

I knew when I started Heart Dog Photography that I was going to want to learn the story behind each and every dog I photograph.   Not every dog has a news worthy story, but they all have one - even if it was being lucky enough to end up with perfect doggie parents the first time around.

But as most of us know, many dogs are not that lucky and do end up in rescue before they (hopefully) find their forever home.

Djindi and Illy have both fallen on their respective feet (paws?!) now, as they belong to local dog trainer Kate Robinson from Sandy Paws.   

Eight years young, miss Djindi is a staffy X (she's the smaller one!)  that Kate rescued from Save A Dog scheme as a 14 week old puppy and she inspired Kate to become a qualified trainer through the NDTF.  With her solid temperament and training, Djindi is a calming influence on the nervous or anxious dogs Kate comes across through her training business.

Djindi also has a serious soft spot for the resident cat, Trixie.

Djindi's best friend Illy wasn't quite so lucky initially  He was in foster care with Victorian Dog Rescue for 9 months after coming from Mildura Pound and was covered in tell tale signs of abuse.    Terrified of men, Kate had to work with Illy to get him over his fear, and he now happily approaches her husband and other men he comes across.

Illy is definitely the more serious soul out of the two, but show him a ball and not many people or dogs could match his passion!

Despite their not so wonderful beginnings in life, both dogs are now the perfect side kicks for Kate and for helping the many dogs she trains through Sandy Paws.

You can check out the Sandy Paws session I did a couple of years back HERE, for more of these two!

Leave them some love in the comments!
