Tansy's Win Photo

Excellent question!

Going by the Standard, the entire coat, except on the fronts of the legs, face, and ear-tips, should be very dense and "stand-offish". The ruff should be especially dense - pulling it all forward also accentuates a nicely arched neck with good length.

On personal preference... when seen from the side, the dogs look that much more pulled-together and polished when the ruff is brushed up.

That all said... these two puppies have, for whatever reason, very, very long and puffy hair behind their ears - we're loathe to cut it off, so it'll just stay extra-puffy until the rest of their coats come long. Puppies usually don't have that much hair behind their ears, but by the time these pups have their adult coats, the rest of the fur will have caught up and they'll look a little more balanced. It's not a fault, it's just a funny-puppy-coat thing.
Its the Don King look...:lol: Noah sports it very well...and now add the dryness of my house and the static...YIKES! :) HAHAHA

Tell mom congratulations on a big win. Tansy is a beautiful sheltie, hey and mom looks great too. She sure can be proud!!!
 
We feed a very old specialized recipe with ingredients from around the world. I can't go into details, because it is obvious that this superior recipe gives our pups the edge in the ring. I know so many of our forum posters are really into finding the Holy Grail of food. Like all of them, I too, think I feed the absolute best. But, thank you for asking! :winkgrin::winkgrin:
 
Me too, me tooo!!!

Hey, what about me. I am cute too! I am their brother!!! Aren't I cute, pant pant pant.... C'mon, tell me I am cute too!
