That picture answered my question, he's an ACS, the English variety is in general a bit calmer.

This is the critter that joined my household one week ago and has caused quite a commotion:

8yr old Cocker with his favorite 'Squeaky Toy', the burger. I have NEVER seen an animal as hard to photograph! He is jet black with no gloss and eyes that light up a brighter yellow under flash than any cat I've ever seen. This is with main and small fill flash, just a JPG snapshot but the only one so far that shows the dog and not just a black spot in space. :-(
It's like taking a picture of a light-trap! That burger is a very dirty brown.

Don (Any suggestions on pics of "black things" welcome!)
Geez, I wish I could get detail in dark fur like that! <vbg>
Cute dog, but his (her?) eyes look a bit intense. I don't think it would be a good idea to try to take that plastic burger from him. <g>
Nice shot - it seems you've captured a bit of the dog's personality.
cheers,
