Little Smidge is just about a week shy of 5 months!

Took these this past weekend

She's getting the hang of freestacking! And she ALWAYS wags her tail when she freestacks! Happy Little Smidge!

Hey, I EARNED the couch today! I worked hard!

Aw :3 My favorite!

You apparently had warmer weather than we did this passed weekend! lol

 

[Abbylynn]

She is very pretty and I can see her growth.

Smidge is beautiful! Of course she wags her tail while freestacking- she knows everyone looking at her is thinking how lovely she is.

I love watching these babies grow! I like her front a lot more NOW than I did when I first picked her up. Croup looks good, really happy with topline. Rear angles are mellowing out, and I hope they continue to do so. Beautiful chest and underline, lovely tailset.

Two things I absolutely ADORE about this little bitch (aside from her social and relatively outgoing nature), are her feet, and her secondary sex characteristics.

Show Shepherds are notorious for FLAT hare feet. Hideous and not functional for their work. This little girl has tight, well arched toes of proper length, well padded and strong. Pasterns are also excellent. Nice and firm.

I love being able to look at this puppy, and know she is a bitch, but not feel she is over refined (as Mirada is). Feminine should not = weak.

She's gonna go far!!!

She's looking really good, any word on whether she is staying permanently or not? What happened to her eye area, the pink spot by her eye?

I love her head, she has so much expression. I'm sure you have already said, but when do you think her first show will be?

What happened to her eye area, the pink spot by her eye?

Injury while playing. She either ran into the fence, or a dog tagged her. We're just waiting for hair to grow back (I sure HOPE it grows back, since it's on her show side).

Her first show will be in May, at a specialty in Macedonia, OH.

And no, no word on her staying. Just working her for now ^_^

 

[ChaosIsAWeim]

Yeah it always seems to be on the show side that they get the scraps and scabs lol.

 

[Xeph]

They do it to torture us

What on earth did I miss?! She's gorgeous!

Wait, 6? Did I miss something, or were they never introduced? I have seen the 4, who are the other two. Or maybe I am forgetting them and you did say something about them?

 

[Xeph]

The other two just arrived Wednesday. Seven month old littermates.

[Xeph]

You didn't miss a thread Don't have any good pics right now. Hopefully we'll do something in York that'll be picture worthy.
