When you have a dog that is going to be up near the top of the standard, it seems it takes them a while to get it all together. When Merlin was a 6-9 and a 9-12. we did not do very well. But now he is about 22 months old and has brought home points four out of the last five times he has been out since last November. Including a four point major with a ton of professionally handled dogs from all over. (He beat the 2007 Crufts BOB winner head to head in the open dog class that day)

Give him some time.

Didn't see the part where he was 21 inches. He looked on the top side for an Aussie in the pictures.

But he will fill out and rake the points in soon.

 

[Keechak]

Thanks and I surly hope so!

 

[Keechak]

I just measured him today (i actually haven't measured him for about a month and a half) he is around 21 and a quarter and 21.5 inches

He is a handsome boy Keechack. I can't wait to see him when he is all filled out.
