My model for portrait shooting happens to be my dog as my wife would never ever allow me to post some pictures here. 
However, it's a girl as well....
Photo taken with Ricoh GXR-M and Voigtländer Color-Heliar 75mm/F2.5 fully open. Distance apprx. 1m. Ricoh GF-1 flash was used indirectly (to the ceiling).
RAW with some adjustments in LR. Downsized for presentation. No sharpening. Full picture (no crop).
Picture clickable for larger view.
Comments are welcome.

Thank you!
It's an American Staffordshire Terrier. 3 yr. female. Very friendly and lovely character. Not dangerous at all!

Maybe one of us need a new monitor?
Look at her eyelashes (100% crop of the same picture):
Due to lack of blood veins in the eyes (Attila-method) I put the focus on the eyelashes.
However, the DOF is extremely shallow at F2.5.
I can't see any shake blur on my monitor with my eyes. Sorry.

That's really interesting.
However, I'll try it tomorrow with tripod again to check for any visible differences.
To reduce the ambient light and add some flashes and/or reflectors may also do the trick. Will see.
I've only noticed something alike at the ending of her ear and thought she was moving it during shot or that it might be already out of focus.
It's rather difficult to instruct my model for proper behavior. That's most probably the biggest challenge.
It's a pity as I liked the way she was looking in this very moment very much. Though, still good enough for the family album. 
Nevertheless, thank you for your critics.

This is finally the best one from today. I finally gave up as my model was not really amused and in the end I had no chance to motivate her any longer to stay in a certain position.
However, although I used for all pictures today the very stable Manfrotto MT055XPRO tripod I realised similar "blur" in some of the pictures like on yesterday's one.
Most probably that was rather a dog's movement than a camera shake.
I used exactly the same gear and settings as before, but lesser environmental light. So I darkened the room a little bit.
This was the best. Though, I liked the posing from yesterday much more.
Another blanket and even a professional background would certainly improve the overall impression.
However, I was too lazy to set up my whole studio environment. It's rather hot today.
Clickable for larger view.
Here is a 100% crop of her eye, which was the used focus point:
So please don't tell me again that you see any shake in this picture. I don't see anything like shake. No way!

Sorry, but I couldn't resist to show her at 2 month age, although it was an AF-lens:
(Lumix GF1/20mm/F1.7 iso800/F1.7/no flash). Actually it's slightly cropped and downsized.
She was always famous in looking very unhappy and poor.

But that is my favorite baby picture from my dog. Though it's technically everything else but perfect, just a snapshot in the right moment.
