A good solid image that is crisp, sharp and properly framed and composed - a technical success in every way as black faced dogs are very difficult to photograph. From an artistic standpoint, it is an intersting image but of less than universal appeal. A good entry into the challenge.
Soft puppy has appeal, but it might help to crop away the dark patch at lower left (hind haunch?) and to use post processing techniques to make the background less distracting.
