Diminishing, overcast daylight and white snow with fast moving, almost white dog. It is a pretty challenging situation. The dogs forehead has burned, and it could have been avoided by lowering ISO. But this situation came too quickly at some spot between trees with more light.
I have adjusted lights, sharpness and colours afterwards.

The same problematic condition Now lowered ISO500 after several burned images. Shutter speed was not enough to stop the dogs hair. A bit artistic feeling.

What a cutie that dog is. Challenging conditions for sure. I like the dog's hair flowing as it enhances the feeling of speed or motion.

Great photos. That dog's appearance reminds me of my dog Willie.

Willie was ...we think...part French Poodle, part Highland Terrier. He was a wonderful little dog, full of spirit, intelligence and came by his name well...as he had plenty of strong will.

He passed away at a ripe old age in 1989.

Now there's a coat that requires work to keep him looking so good, well captured movement on the second image.

Thank you! She is a Tibetan terrier, Fabulous Teddy's Kathy The Princess, "Katy". Our 16 months old bundle of joy.

It is in Finnish, you can translate it with the automatic Google translator resulting nonsense blahblah But there is mostly just photos, lots of my cellular photos and very variable quality. Check, if you like dogs.

Great dog! Must have been hard, also, to make some contrast between the dog and the snow. I like the second one - very artistic.

Yeah, very difficult conditions - quick white dog running around in even whiter snow! Makes metering and AF almost useless. Well done, the photos look great! And the dog really looks like an abominable snow monster!
