I think it's more like, "I will sit if you want, but I'm not going to like it!".

Cute baby!

Handsome Boaz. I love the tuffs of fur around his neck, he looks extremely huggable. As for Sugar, she is so sweet, I agree her name does fit her well

I just want to reach in and kiss Sugars nose!!

Somehow I missed this when it posted. He is a very handsome boy!

The longer I have Mina the younger I'm beginning to think she is ;D Oh lord what have I gotten myself into?? LOL

Anyone elses dogs have white nails?? I read in a breed standard that they should have black nails, my girl seems to be close to standard apart from she had white chest markings that might be a hair to much, white nails but for a few small black stripes, and she I think would be considered to have to much black in her top coat.

Gosh, these are some of the most stunning photos of the DS; I've got goosebumps just looking at them all! I would have to agree that the amber colored eyes are intimidating goolish looking. My Zip has amber eyes. She also has white on her rear paw, just the tips of the toes like she dipped them in paint. No white on her chest though.

Yeah my girl mina has a white stripe across each rear toe not like they are dipped lol just a stripe, ill get a picture of her chest marking, but yeah the white nails are throwing me off couldnt something that minor have been what landed her in the shelter?

No, I sincerely doubt that anyone out there breeds DS's for the show ring (in the first place) and if they do, a white nail will not get you kicked out or disqualified. It (white nailtip) often goes with the white on a toe, (like a horse with white hooves, when it has white socks) and a little tip is permitted, though not desired.

Ok Thanks that was my same thoughts but my parents are trying to come up with a reading apart from pure human stupidity lol funny things is like i said she hardly has any white on her feet but the broken little stripes that look almost grey

Our Beta looks so much like Eva's "Marco"....except her eyes are a bit more Golden/Chocolate, if that makes sense. I mean, my Beagle has dark brown eyes, while Beta's seem to have a bit more Gold.

Wow, I haven't necessarily been taking part but I have been reading quite a lot on this forum this morning and I must say I'm very happy to see how fair and objective you all are here. In France, it's difficult to have that type of conversation (for instance about eye colour) as people will get very aggressive if for instance they have a dog with amber / light eyes... I think that is silly, there's the standard, then there are our own tastes and we all agree a dog is far more than just an eye colour but it's great to see we can have that kind of discussion here in a nice polite way !
