New Arrivals at Tanza
-
just tuckered out.. I bet they had a ball..
-
Aaw.. Just adorable.. Did they get a chance to chase the lure?
They were so interested in all the other breeds, especially the ones with "hair" that the lure didn't have much of an impression this time…. so they just watched the others... maybe next time in June at our Puppy Match.

OK, here are some stacked pictures of the kids…. taken today... You can tell Franie (Red & White) is really teething... just about as loose a tail as you can find...gggg
C-Me was whelped 12-24-2009 and Franie & Trip 1-6-2010
Not the best of pictures for Franie…. she was really more interested in the Squirrel on the fence

Being a newbie at this, what are you supposed to look at when evaluating a puppy for show? -

Being a newbie at this, what are you supposed to look at when evaluating a puppy for show?Same thing as an adult… most breeders judge puppies at 8 wks and 99% of the time what you see at 8wks is what you will have as an adult, 8wks is a minature of the adult. Then breeders will tell you to put them away and don't look at them again as a show dog till they are mature...ggg... they grow funny, move funny (of course they have to be sound in structure and conformation), high in the rear, high in the front, narrow in the front, short in the neck... all those fun stages. Some stay together better then others... some really fall apart.

Thanks Tanza, I needed that info..to me all dogs look great, but not all look stunning..if you know what I mean..I have seen so many different types of B's depending of where they are from, like australian bred vs european bred, vs american lines.
Some are very dark, rich in the color(australian), some have really nice almond shaped eyes (mostly european), and others have the great head, very wedge shaped, those I have seen in several places, including american.
The american lines are very sleek looking, the aussie are stouter, and the europeans have a little of both..now comes the tricky part of finding a pup that has all the qualities..
Rememer I am a novice so this is just what I have noticed, while looking at pictures. -
As far as color, I will agree that for the most part the Aussie have a very solid rich red which seems to be in many lines and carries through. And the European's still have great eye shape, but many with the same problem as the US and that is eye color. For the Aussie dogs, I find the shoulder too straight for me (again for the most part and certainly not all), but we have that same problem in the US. But I would say in the US it is more concentrated to certain lines then sometime across the board. (again as always, in my opinion)
For me personally, I am a Head Hunter… they have to have a pleasing head for me.. as that is the first thing I am going to notice. And no "donkey" ears...ggg set off on the side of the head.
As far as C-Me and the classic "Klassic" look, the one thing that C-Me doesn't have that many of the Klassic bitches do, is a bit of a doggy head with a bit of a long/narrow muzzle, which I am very happy with at this point.
