Title: Sylvi 3 months..
Post by: Katina on July 07, 2004, 01:12:54 PM: ..and she's hitting the"ugly duckling" stage with her overly long legs, looking more like a spider than a cocker :lol:. And we are still having some disagreements about the show pose ;). Being a typical cocker, she won't stay still very long :P ..
Anyway here's one photo for you to see

Post by: Katina on July 07, 2004, 01:42:22 PM: Thank you all for your nice comments :P. She is all legs at the moment, but I know it's just a stage they all go throug. And I do love her to bits! It's very true what you say Laura, she is full of character. We've already been to ringcraft training and she loves it (as long as she doesn't have to stand still ;) ). She has this real "look at me" attitude when on the lead, so I should have some great fun with her in the ring in the future. But I'll let you know how she grows up. We'll have our first show next month ( :shock: )..

You call that long legs?! Jovi's 5 months next week and he's terribly spindly his current nickname apart from Trouble is Lanky-Pants.. Good thing I don't want to show him, because I don't think he's ever going to be the right dimensions!! I can see him taking a long time to grow into his legs and fill out! Being mainly white and having no feathers doesn't help either!

She is lovely :D her coat looks so nice, Abby is 3 months on friday and she looks like a lab with curly ears and no tail? Also how do you practice standing. I groom Abby every evening and try and stand her for a couple of minutes but she wriggles all the time :roll:

Post by: Katina on July 07, 2004, 05:38:02 PM: I practise standing every day. Sometimes on the table, sometimes on the floor. I always practise in front of a big mirror so I can see how the dog is stacked.
Sylvi has (as have all my dogs) also been taught to stand on command.
Sylvi tries to wriggle sometimes, but I never give in. Everyday she stands longer. We started from a nanosecond ;), and now it's minutes :lol:.

Post by: JoHarborne on July 08, 2004, 04:17:55 PM: Woody is the same age but can't get him to stand still at all! Just as well I don't plan on showing him! He has been having a destructive ten minutes and I've just found him shredding the Crufts programme from this year ... is he trying to tell me something?! :lol:

Do let us all know how your first show goes!!

Post by: bluesmum on July 08, 2004, 05:51:40 PM: Sylvi really is very beautiful Katina, one of my favourites :wink:

wishing you lots of luck at Sylvi's first show next month, I'm sure she'll do well :D
Title: Sylvi 3 months..
Post by: Katina on July 08, 2004, 05:53:03 PM: Yes, I am very pleased with her. She's very kind and gentle in her ways, does anything to make me laugh and her tiny tail never stops wagging. I simply love her to bits!

(And she DOES have a very interesting pedigree ;), a nice combination of the Lynwater lines)
