I need some help with the best technical solution for what I am trying to achieve. The actual concept is a little tricky to explain, but I'll use an analogy which should have the same components.

Imagine I want to create a listing of dogs. I would like to record:

Dog name
Dog birthdate
Owner name
Hometown
Weight
Colour
Breed

I would also like to attach a "profile picture" of the dog, plus a gallery of additional photos. Finally, I would like to attach a blog to each dog for updates over time -- so that the owner can update the dog file with what he is doing now (imagine Facebook status updates, but for dogs). Ideally, I would like all of these components displayed on the same page (doggie stats and pictures at the top, blog entries below)

I am running Drupal 6.

I am thinking that CCK is my solution here for all of the text fields, but my question is how to best integrate the blog and images. ImageField seems the right module, but is not available for v6 yet -- what is the best alternative?

Thanks to all the experts out there for their help.

PS - how difficult will it be to theme a page like this?

Have you checked IMCE Image?

I've installed IMCE Image, but it looks way too complicated for what I am trying to achieve. My user base are likely to be quite unsophisticated -- I just want them to be able to upload a picture.

you might want to take a look at http://drupal.org/project/filefield_image since imagefield hasn't been updated for d6 yet.
