Hi! To my Canon EOS 1000D need new lense for photografing dogs, their portraits and activity (jumping, playing, running). 

Perhaps I want to much Smiley Indifferent...2 in 1... will be grateful for any recommendations, price level below 1000

Even if you do not upgrade your camera you want the Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM Lens.  But I would seriously consider upgrading the camera too. However, that lens will make a huge better difference for you.

EOS 1DX and 1D Mk IV and less lenses then before!

What lens do you currently own, and why does it not work for you?

10 yr old camera... 10MP and Digic III.  

 

Even with a budget of $1000 or less you could get a nice bundle.  Something more current to build on.  

 

Edit - Don't get me wrong..  I love "classics" but a 1000D isn't classic and the amount of technolgy that has ocurred since makes upgrading worth considering.

The lens Ernie recommends is a fine lens; my wife and I each have one. But don't imagine that you can use it with the camera's built-in flash. Even on cameras larger than the 1000D, it will cast a large shadow in the camera's coverage area.

Which camera you have to Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 ?

We've used ours on T2i, 7D, and 7D Mark II. I may have also used mine on my 50D a few times; I don't recall for sure.

It isn't worth using anyway so it is a moot point.
