Most are of Solo because Fly is almost impossible to get decent photos of.

hehehe...same here.

I just ventured on to r.p.d again yesterday, after a looooong hiatus.
I had shoulder surgery 3 weeks ago, and am pretty much stuck at home.
Boredom leads to...

Anyway, last spring I broke down and bought myself a Nikon D50 w/ a
55-200 zoom Nikon lens. I love it, and haven't looked back since.
The majority of the photos I've done are of my own dogs, and a lot of
others' dogs at National and Regional specialties.
Special projects for our Newsletter, etc. It's a blast. I'd like to
turn it into some sort of side-job/fun venture in the future--dog
shows, particularly performance events, but I've got to get the
shoulder working properly again.

Plus, having a "puppy" (she is a year now) gives good excuse for tons
of growth stage photos for her breeders. And she's a total nutcase
that loves the camera.

Love the b&w, I've done a few, but not enough. Black dogs out of coat
(ie--reddish!) look 'normal' in b&w.

Nice job, and thanks for sharing.
