It helps with the youthful figure. > Bella's a lot cuter though :-) Do you really think so? I'm thinking there might be a little bias going on here. <g> Seriously, she is a lovely little dog. She's a bit narrow across the chest, we are hoping she will be a late bloomer and get a little more breadth, but at 15 months now, I'm not sure how much more drop we are going to see. Right now she is just a bit over 40 pounds at 22 inches, and is at her perfect weight. We aren't worried about her structure, she may not be a show stopper, but she LOVES agility. Charmi is having a blast with her. Jester does have a great structure, his front feet are still quite turned out, though he can now hold them straight if he wants to. Rotties don't fill out until they are 18 months or more. He is 25-26 inches now, and in the 95 pound range. He still has a small amount of growth spur on his front legs, he might hit 27 inches before he is done. The males from his lines are all very big boys, muscular and brawney and in the 120 to 130 pound range. I have a feeling he will be a show stopper, he turned a lot of heads last month at Battleford. The Band City show is coming up on the Victoria Day weekend, and will be his last show as a puppy. The weekend after GFM is our show, but he will just have turned a year a few days prior, so will be entered in the 12-18 month class. He'll be at a disadvantage because he will most likely be coming up against some dogs closer to maturity. So it goes. The Yorkton show in late August has a Rottie specialty, and we are putting him into that one as well. After that, I have no plans to show him again until 08, though we will be in the Penticton area in September when they run their show, and I am toying with the idea of entering him one day just for larfs. The biggest issue I am having with him now is getting him to not jump on every other dog that he comes into view of. I have a bad feeling that I may never be able to trial him past his PCD because of his tendency to leave the ring to bounce on some poor little poodle. Bella is downright dog aggressive, and cuts no animal any slack. They get close enough, and she nails them. Jester is merely play dominant, but the result is similar. To bring this back on topic, do you own a bicycle? Have fun bill -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
