This is me as a puppy. I have more pictures in my Photo Gallery. |
I have lots of Yorkie pictures around the house and on my desk that folks would snail-mail and e-mail in. But since I died (February 3, 2007) I'm out of the Yorkie picture adding business. Not to fret. We have 35 pages of Yorkie photos. |

I figured that there were other dogs named Shooter, but now I know another YORKIE named Shooter. Here's little Shooter with his cat buddy Buttercup. How did this Shooter get his name? He came from the breeder with it! Isn't he cute? They live in Groveport, Ohio. |

Shooter's Photo Tips:
1) Avoid cheap cameras. It's impossible to take a good picture of a Yorkie with cheap digital or a disposable camera. If you still use a 35mm camera, use fast ISO 400 film. Focus on the dog's eyes. Many people don't center the subject and the camera focuses on the background, resulting in a blurry pet. If you have a manually focused camera, then spend some time to focus. Most bad pictures aren't properly focused, or have motion blur form the dog moving.
2) Take close ups. Yorkies are small -- Get up close or use a telephoto or zoom lens.
3) Take a picture outside in the shade or in a well-lit room. Full sunlight often makes for a picture of a squinting Yorkie. Bright shade is the best. When inside, natural light and indoor halogen lamps offer the best lighting.
4) If you have a small camera with the flash one inch away from the lens, then shut the flash off. If you have an external flash, use it, and if it will bounce flash, do so. Even outside, fill-in flash creates a softer photograph. Use the flash when shooting inside and turn on the red-eye-reduction feature. Even when using a flash, use plenty of light. This will prevent the pet's eyes from dilating. Otherwise, your beautiful dog will have giant green eyes and appear possessed. Also, the camera's bright flash in a dark room can damage a puppy's eyes.
5) Consider the background. Find a simple, contrasting background. Not a brown and black background for your brown and black Yorkie. Avoid cluttered, confusing backgrounds. That pattern on your sofa won't look so good next to your Yorkie.
6) Get your Yorkie's ears to stand up. Make a weird sound, squeak a toy, or say the Yorkie's name.
7) Take 10 pictures to get one that you like. Puppys are even harder to photograph.
