great choice to focus so tight..it lets the dog come right at us..one beautiful dog too!
personal preference would have been to try this in your backyard or somewhere natural, making the shot seem less set-up...
First Impression - the most important one: Your poor bloody dog!
Composition: The lenscap is slightly lost on this composition .. but you got the cute vote anyways.
Subject: meets the challenge ..
Technical (Colour and light): This works really well here .. you have not said what you have done .. so not sure what to say .. but it did work. I also like the DOF you have used.
To grow its vote?: From looking at those ahead of you I am not sure you could ... cute really only takes us so far. :)
Summary: Good work .. and nicely appealing pic.

Cute dog, nice shot. I notice quite a few people had their dogs (and a cat) sharing the honors with the lenscap. This is a well-done example of this idea.
Pretty good idea! I like the DOF, focus and warmth. You are very confident in this dog. It can eat your lens cap at any moment!;). But seriously, the lens cap itself is loosen in this composition. I would like if it was clearly visible.
