Gin just shy of 1!

What do you think? (she's just blown all her coat, starting to grow back)







Comments and critiques always welcome!

I think Gin is one fine looking girl. I hope you are planning something special for her birthday.

What a lovely girl, even minus the coat!
She looks like she's got a lot of bone, have you shown her yet? I can't remember.

Thanks Ed! The whole litter (except for two or three) are getting together for a day of swimming and playing! I can't wait!

She would do me fine

Actually she could use just a smidge more bone to compensate for such a huge, deep body.

Gin is 78lbs as of this morning.

She's been shown a couple times, but no points. She is too big for the puppy classes, and too clumsy, the last few shows I've had her in she did much better (with a few large class wins) in Bred By. Her time will come, I'd say at 3 or 4 she'll come into herself, and move as cleanly in the ring as I've seen her move in the yard.

Sweet baby picture of her! She is a big girl, huh? Daisy is 7 months and about 58#. Daisy could use more bone too, but she's nicely balanced. Right now Daisy is klutz on the move, but she moved nice when she was younger, and I can it at times too. I think Daisy will do well as 2-3 year old. We'll see. I'm glad to hear Gin has had some nice wins in the bred-by, that is awesome!

If she's just approaching 1 yr, I'd say she's a pretty nice specimen....even without her winter coat. She should well in time.

She looks good, but I'd love to see a free-baited shot of her. She looks a tad frumpy (is that a word? lol) in this one. I like her head though...I know you were worried about it for a while there.

I like her head...

Is 78# a good weight for her? I know with Juniper, when she was 70# and being shown, every stinkin' judge commented that she was fat. But with Grace, she looks her BEST at 70#. So it's very subjective for each dog. So I was just curious.
