Hello NatureScapers:

Last year I was out to Custer and spent a fair deal of time photographing p dogs. I had been contacted by a childrens book editor about photos. I tried to capture as many behaviors as I could... These three would not stray far from the den opening but sure did rough house in the immediate area. This picture eventually made it into the book. I think I like this one because it demonstrates the term "back-biter"

Thanks for looking and for any comments or suggestions.

I don't know whether to say this is cute or not- looks like some fairly rough play! I love the interaction and the nice composition they make.

Too cute - the little guy with the open mouth takes this over the top!

Wonderful behaviour shot Dennis and I love the way the interaction links all three youngsters in this very cleverly composed image! 8) 8) 8) 8) :)
