7 Doberman puppies 5 & 1/2 weeks old was a big  challenge, but thanks for help from everyone involved, after 1 hour of getting their attention all at once paid off. The shot turned out perfect although I had to composite one of these fluffy “Teddy bears” from a second shot.

Here is a behind the scenes shot set. (There is also a Canon speedlight to the camera left set on 1/4 of power to bring out the details from that pitch black fur- creating mix hard light).
