I haven't tortured you with puppy pics in a while, so here ya go...

Jesse is now 5 1/2 months old and still in the "uglies", but he's on the upswing back towards cute. Here are some pics of the little man today:

Loved the face on this one. "What chu lookin' at?"

WOW, that is all i can really say..... :eek1:

And his mother, Riley, just finished her CD in 3 consecutive shows this month (had to do something while waiting for her hair to grow back after those darn puppies.)

And a couple shots while practicing retrieving the dumbell for the next level of obedience...

"Throw it throw it throw it!"

"POUNCE"

"Awww, I have to give it back?"

 

[cornsnakekid92]

I like him in the ugly stages! but the adult is stunning as well!

 

[dionythicus]

He's very square and has a nice top line. You should be chomping at the bit to get him in the ring!

 

[Hurley]

Yes and no, yes in that I'm dying to show him and his profile is grand, no in that he is still narrow in the chest, so he has a tendency to go eastie-westie on me right now. He'll come back to straight when his chest fills out, he was so straight as a baby, but the waiting is killing me.

He's entered next month in a show, but I'll pull him if he isn't ready by then. His mother is entered, so he'll be there anyway.

I'm loving the haircoat that is filling in.

And because I like my snake progression threads, here's a puppy progression thread. :grin01:

aww so cute

 

[SnakeAround]

Ugly!?!?!?

 

[jazzgeek]

While I remember Bo's "puberty", and what an awkward, skinny goof he was, yeah, referring to Jesse as "ugly" might be stretching it a bit, IMO.

Definitely a show quality specimen, yeah.

Five minutes to Wapner. Yeah.

LOL, nope, he's not ugly, though he went through a "less attractive" period that peaked at 4 months. His head is starting to broaden and he's filling out. I can't wait to see how he matures out with a full coat. Drool.

Jesse has never thought of himself as anything less than "da bomb". He's got an ego.

I know practically nothing about anything related to dog shows other then the fact that they are for dogs... but he is a gorgeous pup! I love his colors. His mom is quite a looker too.

He is adorable. You are very lucky. You are not torturing us with pictures. They are great looking dogs.

Jesse is now 5 1/2 months old and still in the "uglies", ...

Wow, if that's his "ugly" phase, I want on the waiting list for when he makes puppies! It's amazing how much he changed in just 4-6 weeks since I last saw his "goofy-looking, puppy-teen" pictures. I can't wait to see him in his prime.

 

[Jessicat]

One brown eye one blue eye?

You're right, he's just not as cute as he used to be....
now he's pretty darn handsome!

 

[Hurley]

LOL, one all brown eye, one mostly brown eye with a blue stripe on the bottom of it. Gotta love those merle eyes. They can do anything.

I don't often post to these threads because I have nothing to say but the obvious, which is that you have some beautiful dogs there.
