Beautiful shots. It's one of those senses I'd like to try one day, I'd be torn between classic Chrome or modern Black for better coating, but it's reputation of not being sharp and the ridiculous price it fetches at the moment prevents me. If money was no object, I'd collect the old silver versions of various lenses. As it is, one of my favourites is the Jupiter-9, I have a Contax and LTM version, late 50s and early 60s, both great, producing shots similar to your dog photos, except it's of my bunnies.

PS: I should say, it's not because I need it, or absolutely must have swirly Bokeh, I just like these old lenses. I got a Samyang 85mm f1.4 manual lens real cheap on eBay, and I love what it produces; I've shot some great portraits with it.
