Spryte at 8 Months

Spryte is growing up, albeit at her own pace, she is still quite small and is very possibly going to be a 400 height class agility dog. The photos below taken today after a bath, in the backyard.
From this at 11.5 weeks old to...
this at 8 months! Now I know where all that food went....

Starting to show the signs of complete tug addiction!






We are not doing too much agility equipment wise, but she is getting to love the Chase the Toy Around the Cone game which has the effect of teaching her to really dig in and flex her spine for turning tight.



She loves her fluffy fleecy tuggy!

Spryte does look quite short even in the photos. Her legs look shortish, although maybe it's the lovely brushed-out coat. :-) And what a matched set your dogs seem to be in their markings!

Hi Ellen
Yes she is certainly small, but I'm not really bothered I think having a BC that competes in the same height as the Shelties would be cool! She wasthe smallest in the litter of 5 her 4 brothers are all normal sized. Her legs do look short at the moment because she does have new length of coat on her she is still is quite in proportion and balanced looking. I also think because her centre of gravity is so low she has a wicked turn on her when she is running flat out! She can dodge my larger two with ease!
Cheers
