very nice shot here, i love the b&w with this, i dont think it would give the same feeling with colour!
very nice work

Regardless of the composition of the photos or whether the subject matter is better presented in b&w, the b&w photos as of now, I'm afraid, look too dark.

Great shots! That dog looks vicious.. I wouldn't want to be jumping fences and trying to cut through his yard ! :D

For improvement, I think I would reduce contrast a bit, crop out some of the side areas to place more emphasis on the two, and lighten it up a bit, esp the shadow areas.

Great timing on your trigger button!
