This is Tad at 4 months  --  taken July 11, 2004

His ears are Really great, except when he is taken away from his "swimming pool" to be brushed and look pretty.  He is a lovely dog.  Really good bone.  Look at his chest, the bone in his head.  His tail is VERY nice, even though I am not used to a tail at all.  It is long, smooth, and such a nice little curl at the end.  When he runs, plays and uses his tail, it is usually carried slightly over his back, or slightly down (this one is when he is stalking the rest of the dogs).  His temperament is to die for.  He brings in tons of show style through dad, and mom brings in both show and herding.  Mom is VERY smart.  Dad is smart, but more dedicated and loving.  If I didn't already keep his father, I would keep him.  He would make a good addition to any kennel.  Genetics have been clear in the lines and I have about 4 or 5 generations of mom and dad's lines.  I also added to Bud's page, some extra information on the top of his pedigree.  I am by no means done, Tad's pedigree is very nice.

This is Tad at 3 Weeks.
