Cardigan Fronts

Jeri has started a thread on Cardigan fronts. She has called me out of blog hibernation to post picture of Rush's front. I have dug through my files and found a couple of his early puppy pictures. It is interesting to see that between weeks 7 and 8, his ears popped up. I remember laughing because I went to get him out of the pen in the morning and they both had sprung up over night. And they stayed up too.
Week 7
Week 8
14 months
(Thank you Jeri for helping me get this picture.)

It's not always easy to know what you are looking at when evaluating puppies, but I did see the nice wrap around on Rush at a really young age. BTW, have I said lately how much I love that dog. :o)

One thing I'm noticing is that the fronts that I've seen stay pretty nice as adults either start out relatively straight (I'm thinking of Leo's front here), OR they have a nice chest fill even as a puppy (Lizzie's, Rush's, etc). A puppy with a crook but that is not filled in often seems to end up too turned out, or too long in pastern.

Very nice. Goon. ;-)

The more he grows, the more I drool. I love him too :) He'll be at the nationals, right? I really want to meet him :)
