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

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

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

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.

Nicole, she was almost pointing at the helicopters over belle isle, so she stood herself, I'd have to have someone over to get a free baited shot, which I hope to get at the party on Saturday.
78 is a good weight for her, she has a definite waist. She seems to be like her mother though, after a season she has a good deal of 'boobage' always has, so I assume that's the extra under there. Ruby's weight can go from 75-80, but Gin has the height on her side. She's over 22 1/2" tall.
Hmmm frumpy, no idea how to take that one, she's solid, muscular, fast as a speeding bullet, very active girl. She's well toned in the flesh, even if its not showing well in photos. But if frumpy is all the negative anyone can muster, I guess I'll take it.
Here's one from earlier this week, she's the dog on the left, definite waist, especially when compared to the other dog

and two weeks ago, definite tuck there

Didn't mean frumpy in a negative way at all...sorry, guess when I make up words I'll have to be more careful
I simply meant she's standing there with no animation...no tail, head down. Yes she's four square, but I don't think the picture does her justice, at least to truly comment on. I've seen her in person and she was nice....hence my interest in seeing a more "up" shot. I agree that correct weight has to do with both height and substance, she doesn't look like she's carrying any extra weight to me.

LOL Nicole, I googled frumpy, thats why I assumed it was negative! This is what I got
frumpy
1. A female with lack of concern for appearance. Often characterized by sweatpants, frizzy hair, gramma panties and a paisty complexion.
*****. I don't pay you to dress all frumpy. Now go put on some heels and do with something that hair.
get this def on a mug

2. frumpy
adj; clothing style that usually consists of bagging, careless slothing i.e. sweatpants, large baggy t-shirts, sweatshirts, etc.
