Eve's going through a growth spurt. She no longer fits in the airline bag that I brought her home in.







Yum. Cacti.

Wow, is she snacking on an aloe plant in that last picture? lol

She looks fantastic as always. Why must they grow up so quickly? :(

She has quite a bit of bone, much more than I expected on a border collie. Sturdy girl. :)

Showpug, she's actually pretty small in stature. Dakota had a TON of bone at this age, and now he's quite average, so I'm expecting she'll be fairly wiry when she matures.

Here's Dakota at her age for comparison:

Dakota was a bit of a brute at that age. I began to doubt if my agility dog would even be able to stay on the obstacles, much less do things like jump and weave without breaking anything. :p

Eve really is feminine-looking, and very graceful. She's yet to run into any walls or decide that she can plow her way through the fence.

Red, BC ears vary a LOT. Personally I've never seen a BC with ears that flop like a Lab's - most are high set and stand at least a tiny bit. But yes, you can get anything from really floppy ears like this:



To something up a little bit like Dakota's:



To the sheltie-type thing, where the ear stands up but the tip falls over:




to fully erect ears:




Eve's ears will eventually prick, but they probably won't stay put until after she's done teething.

Aww, that's all :( JK JK

She's HUGE! ANd Dakota was HUGE at his age! :D *melts*

Off Topic, but, Lizzie has that same ear fur as it looks like Dakota has. And hers grows out to where it is long very curly and just not very good looking :p
How do you take care of that? I have started trimming hers back just a TAD, and it looks better.

Oh wow she''s growing fast!!! What a darling!!!!

Lizmo, I know I wasnt asked but I wanted to say that people that I know with the ear-fur that you are talking about keep it looking nice by trimming some as well as combing it with a fine-tooth comb like a flea comb. Keeps it from knotting and makes it look more crimped than curly.
