My Expressive Jack Russell: Skippy Lim, Auckland, New Zealand (pet, dog, home, pictures, lifestyle)

July 18th, 2009-- On a lazy afternoon, during mid winter, Skippy was bored sitting at the staircase waiting for some event to take place.

That was a hard to come moment to take a few quick shot of him! Luckily I have my digital SLR camera handy and took some pictures of him

£350,000 for the world's most expensive dog (world, record, costliest, pet, buying)

A Tibetan mastiff with the catchy name of Yangtze River Number Two has reportedly been sold to a woman in the Chinese province of Shaanxi for around £350,000, making it the most expensive dog ever.

The previous record of £90,000 was paid out by a family in Florida for Lancelot Encore - a cloned version of Lancelot, a much-loved but deceased Labrador.

The Times reports that Yangtze River Number Two's new owner, identified only as Mrs Wang, is rumoured to have spent years searching China for the perfect Tibetan Mastiff. When she located her dream dog in Qinghai province, she was determined to do whatever was necessary to make it hers.

The canine's newfound celebrity status was confirmed when a motorcade of 30 luxury cars turned up at Xi'an airport to collect it. Mrs Wang's wealthy friends sent their Mercedes limousines to the airport, and also organised a welcoming committee of local dog-lovers, complete with banners.

Dog-ownership is becoming increasingly popular in China, and is already causing problems in some of the country's over-crowded cities. A ban on pets in many public areas is being considered in Shanghai, while the city of Guangzhou has introduced a limit of one dog per family.

 

Our Gorgeous Little Friend, Skippy Lim (Auckland, New Zealand)

It is very challenging to try to a picture or portait for a every-moving Jack Russell. I managed to grab the chance to take a photo of Skippy, our dearest family pet during his rare moment of sitting still. I was talking to him while focusing my digital SLR camera on him, asking him "You enjoy your yummy food? Want to take a walk later on?" He responded with his head tilting left and right.

These are the first few pictures I took of Skippy, our darling little pet at home with digital SLR camera. It was a cold winter morning and the temperature was hovering around four degree celcious I am not quite use to handle digital SLR camera now and hope my skills will improve with time.
