Looks a little noisy to me, nice picture. I think you could have opened up your lens to F/4 gotten most of the image in sharp focus and dropped to 200 ISO. That's incredibly noisy for 400 iso.

But the picture is marvelous.

Dogs have something weird about their eyes and have that glow-eye. A little post could have removed that. (Burn tool) Here is an example picture. http://trevlan.smugmug.com/photos/429046747_mwP9S-L.jpg (http://trevlan.smugmug.com/photos/newexif.mg?ImageID=429046747&ImageKey=mwP9S)

EXIF is embedded and it's almost an identical shot in settings minus the aperture. (2.8) but it's with a D40, I'm assuming a D80 is a better camera. I don't understand why there is so much noise.
