Meet Jasper

My wonderful new little boy! If you follow me on facebook or twitter, you’ve already seen his puppy adorableness. ;) He arrived on Saturday and has been stealing hearts ever since. I am genuinely amazed at how easily and how well he has integrated himself in our lives and vice versa… Topaz already adores him and thinks he is just about the best playmate ever. He of course adores her as well… He looks just a little mini Topaz running around. One of these days someone is going to ask me if I shrunk my dog. ;) At first, his name started out as “Tigger”. And while that was quite fitting given he was bouncing all over the place, it just didn’t quite fit. It wasn’t until his 4th day home that I finally figured out what did… And Jasper, is perfect for him. Not only that, but, it matches Topaz’s name as well. There’s a gem called Snowflake Jasper that looks just like his coat…. Once I found that out, I knew Jasper was the one.

Besides being so darn cute, Jasper is also one smart little dude… We’ve been working hard on his commands including, Sit, Down, High Five, Spin, and of course, heel. Come and wait are still works in process. :) He’s also a polite little thing… Everyone comments on how calm he is… And while he does have his “crazy puppy!!!” moments, he is an extremely calm little pup. That’s nice- and needed- to balance out my crazy girl. ;)

I just love this little guy so much… Maybe you can begin to see why in these photos.

    He is so cute. His markings reminded me so much of Cobalt’s. And Topaz looks so patient with him. Looks like a great match. And your shots are just wonderful. Enjoy your two beautiful Aussies!!

  8. Best puppy picturs I’ve ever seen

  9. OMG, I love your pet photography business. And this puppy is so cute! I’m seriously considering transitioning to just dog photography. ;-) I’ve only done one dog shoot, but it was the most enjoyable photo session of my life.

    What a gorgeous puppy. Love your images.

  12. Joyce says:

    Oh my word! He is the CUTEST. Beautiful.

  13. I definitely like the name Jasper and it’s cool that it is a gem like Topaz. I love the photo of their two little behinds going around the corner playing. I also like the one of Jasper “biting” Topaz with that wild look in his eye – Bear does that too!

    Do you have any new pictures of Jasper. I don’t know if you remember, but I have an Aussie puppy called Cobalt. He’s now 7 months old and around 50 pounds. But all puppy. Would like to see what Jasper now looks like.
