Is it me or did her ears go from button to standing, well half standing? One of the pups from my litter looks like it's doing that too.

i like the dog in bottom pic, what breed is it mate?

It will be interesting to see what colour her nose ends up. Usually the black starts off as a tiny spot and then gets bigger and bigger.

Do both of her eyes have geometric splits? Is she also a brindle? She's very pretty.

Reading this thread you realise some folk just like merle dogs, or like their merle dog anyhow, for others look really is the MOST important thing. Not knocking a pretty dog, but being happy with the pretty dog you end up with is one thing and breeding to get a 'pretty dog' or litter of 'pretty dogs'. . . . .

I don't think anyone here thinks that looks are the most important thing otherwise we would be on a different site. I am a fan of the colour and find it interesting but that was not the first thing I thought of when chosing my puppy or having a litter. I hope there is a way to breed a good looking dog that is functional otherwise there will be a seperation in Lurchers that has happened in other breeds "looks" and "workability". Looking at the pictures on here I am happy to see it is possible to have both.

I was thinking the same here. All this Looks is for showing, yes it's nice to have a Looker, and I will comment on a nice type of dog. But it's not at all important to me. Looks wont fill the pot, a looker may get you a few rosettes and a day out at the game fair.

 

There are people who show and people who work their dogs. Is there both?
