Mace is one of the MonElite Dobermanns puppies that I photographed a few months ago [see here and here]. He went off to his new home at 8wks but was returned at 14wks through no fault of his own. I had an afternoon free so Monika brought him over my way for some socialisation and a quick photo session. He’s such a great puppy. A credit to his breeder and also his first owner who did some really solid groundwork with him. Here are some of my favourite pics from the day.

Mace has gone to live on an olive farm in the Hunter Valley. I asked if I could go with him, but was politely turned down. Damn!

Update July 2011: Mace died in a tragic accident on the farm. RIP gorgeous boy.
