Will her face get any bigger?

Funny this came up now! I just got schooled by Fillion's and Koko's breeder when I called Fillion "needle nose". She informed me that he was not needle nose but just young and his muzzle would develop as he matured, and that at 8 months Koko didn't have a muzzle either. I was saying in the best way--I love his needle nose! I just didn't think he looked much like his daddy :wink2:
 
Isn't it funny how they mature? Layla was always perfectly proportioned and looked like a fairy princess. Bitsy Boodle, on the other hand, was coyote ugly until she was almost a year old! :lol: Now she's breathtaking!
 
Estelle is obviously fine boned, so while her face may fill out some, I expect she will always maintain a dainty face. Which is fine because it will match her dainty figure!

As for the gangly teenage phase....Bacca looked so silly, especially with his ears glued! I could never see why others thought him cute. I thought he looked ridiculous. I despaired!

One thing that never changed was his expression. He had an Eeyore face and still does!

I would show then and now if I could remember how to include thumbnails!
 
It is so much fun watching her change. There is a stripe of darker, slightly wavy, adult hair along her spine. Every morning it seems to have grown over night. I can't wait to see what she looks like grown up.

she is kind of weird looking, at the moment.

Haha! When Ida was very young she had a strip of black hairs down her back that stuck up all over the place. I was told she looked like a hyena puppy. She didn't really help me out with that, she would wiggle her butt around and make little noises that sometimes sounded like a hyena yelping (she still does it today).:lol:

When Justice was a young dog he had the reverse skunk stripe. His sides were dark and he had a perfect red stripe down his back. I had an obedience judge tell me that I should mess up his fur before I went into the ring so it wouldn't be so easy to tell he was sitting crooked.

Thankfully his back filled in the same color because Justice is blessed with the absolutely correct coat texture and I can't mess his fur up if I try.:smile2:
 
Hanna's ruff makes a complete circle, then there's a stripe of black that goes down the middle of her back. She has a dark side and a lighter side. I'm really curious to see how she's going to look in a year's time. My last sheltie had some of that wavy fur on her back, but Hanna's is perfectly straight. Love sheltie coat -yesterday I took Hanna over to the neighbours for babysitting while I went into the hospital to visit my mother in law and she said she's so fluffy did you just give her a bath. Nope, regular brushing keeps them looking & feeling like that. She's already starting to lie on her side and doze off when I brush her - just a few weeks ago she was a squirmy bundle and i was wondering if it was always going to be struggle.
 
When Missy's adult coat first started coming it, it started along her spine and the adult coat was this nice, sleek, shiny black, and her puppy coat everywhere else was not as shiny and more fuzzy. It looked like a reverse mohawk with her adult coat laying flatter than her puppy coat. Of course, I was the only person who noticed it.
