He looks so happy, I love the side glance he is giving you in the last pic. I have gotten that one many times from Gypsy. He is one handsome boy!

I still love him!! His frame reminds me a lot of Riley's, who is still a bit leggy @ 2 years old now. If they are similar, you probably have one heck of an agility dog!! (all I hear about Riley is that he's very athletically built)
Handsome boy! And riley agrees, the teeter is the most fun!!

I love the sideways glance picture too. I think the right side of his face is his good side. The left looks a bit funny somehow. I guess it is the white vs lack of white on the muzzle. What do you think?

Thanks I really like the way he is put together. His shoulders had gone a bit steep but are starting to come back down. Of the all the puppies in his litter, he look the best in body and drive for agility. I am very happy with my choice. He is faster than Diva without trying. Of course, his strides are over 2.5times longer than Diva's.

Birch is looking just awesome.
Birch is looking lovely, I do like it when they start filling out more and going past the horrid leggy stage. He has a quite breath taking head and expression which although different from the UK bred ones I'm used to, I think is very appealing 
I can't wait to start agility too with Epic and it will be fun to compare notes - by the sound of it Birch has a head start with his foundation training. I have kept the notes of his 'Super Puppy Class' too in my favourites as I thought that was fascinating.

Birch has taken a puppy agility class. It was really just an intro. Just to get them use to different textures and such and ground work. little bitty tippy board, A frame and dog walk. They were like 2 ft tall.
Birch showed no fear. He can't take an offical beginners class until 1 yr. We play before the girls classes on the non jump and weaves things. He has about a 6-7ft send to the tunnel and he loves the chute. He couldn't figure the chute out as he didn't realize he could push it open if he couldn't see light. One day the wind was holding it slightly open and he zipped though it and he has had no issues since. He also is starting to figure out that he runs between the stick things and over those little bumps on the ground. I got so excited last week as we were doing a circle of jumps(not rjumping just thru the uprights) and he was about 6 ft away from me and he started drifting into me and I said out and he went back out to the jumps. First signs he is starting to understand.
