GK, that is what I feed Baron. I had him on Acana Prairie and then switched to Pacifica and he is doing great on it. DH hates the smell though but then again he is not eating it!

I had him on Wild Prairie briefly after switching from EVO but his skin got really flaky after only a few weeks. The Pacifica is some pretty rank stuff though!
The d7000 is very light and compact for what it is. If you're thinking about getting one it's probably down on price now that the new 7100 model is out too.
Stunning pictures and stunning dog. Since I have the same lens on the D90 body and my pictures don't look like that, I'm forced to admit to myself it's my photography skills But I always love to learn. Maybe we should have a section for dog photography, as I also always wonder what camera/lens was used and more importantly what settings to achieve a particular look in a picture. I'm attempting to use the camera for more than the preset modes and it's quite daunting at times. Especially when it comes to action shots or even worse, indoor shots at dog shows.
I'm only a hobbyist photographer but I think I kind of "get it" most of the time and I'm glad to help anyone who asks. One thing I've found with a lot of cheaper lenses like this one is they have a sweet spot f stop or focal length if it's a zoom lens where you get the greatest sharpness in the image. This particular lens makes the in focus areas somewhat soft at f/ 1.8 but if you stop it down to f/2.8 or f/4 it's a lot sharper.
My camera allows me two custom user set modes which I have set up as variations of "A" mode, or aperture priority and I use these pretty much exclusively. In the first custom mode I set the minimum shutter speed to 1/50 and the maximum iso at 6400 for portraits and in the second user mode I bump up the minimum shutter speed to 1/250 for freeze frame action photos. It's easy to go back in the camera menu and tweak either a bit if I need to on the fly.
With these two custom modes based on "A" mode since the camera is automatically controlling the shutter speed and iso based on my preferences all I really have to adjust myself is the aperture and any exposure compensation I want and I can do that really fast without touching the menus. The only times I ever use "M" manual mode is if I'm indoors bouncing a flash off the ceiling or I have the camera on a tripod and I'm using a remote to control the shutter for really long exposures.
