If you remember my last thread about the sheltie I met, well the hip test came in and she failed. I was really upset, but I picked myself up and relized it was just not ment to be!
Well I had a alternative dog if this one failed. His parents had excellent hips and his eyes have already passed. So were going to go meet him sometime soon. He was going to be a conformation dog, but he grew a little big. I will attach his picture.
Aww sorry to hear about Sage:( This new guy is adorable!!!:eek: I hope he works out.
He is gorgeous!!! Good luck with him! What kennel does he come from?
Oh a merle!! I love it already!! :D I hope this one works out for you.
Aww I'm so sorry about Sage...that stinks :(
But seriously, if you get this pretty merle boy, I'll be jealous! lol. My first Sheltie was a merle ^_^
I remember seeing pictures of Carly, gorgeus girl she was! I am 98% sure I am going to get this boy. I had all of thease names picked out for girls, now I have no idea for boy names. Any ideas? His name is Sam, but my best friend's name is Sam so that's not going to work.Quote:

I don't know why, but the name Beauregard/Beau popped in my head.
He's beautiful, I hope you can give him a home!
Is it said like Bow? Or is it different then that, I am not good at pronouncing things. :)Quote:

Beauregard is pronounced like bo-re-gaurd. :)
Sorry to hear about Sage, Bre. As I said before, this boy is so freakin' gorgeous. He sure is easy to fall in love with. I like the name Ben personally. :o
Thanks! I am also considering Sage and Aiden. I have to remember that it needs to be a short name so I can say it easy when doing agility.
Sheltie people, can you tell me more about the pattern on this fluffy dog's coat? It's so pretty! What's a conformation dog? Flatcoatlover, could you give this beauty a huge hug for me!
Shelties can come in a bunch of colors.
Blue Merles, like my future boy.

Sable

Tri-Color

They can also come in more colors like bi-white which is black and white.
Conformation is basically breed ring, where they are showing for the best in the breed.
Awe Bre i'm sorry about the other one.
This one is sooooo handsome! What a gorgeous dog.
I ike the name kay put on here cute.
I hope that 98% part comes true and not the 2% ;)
I'm a cat person, just visiting, and not up on all these dog things. What does it mean that a dog failed the hip test? And what happens to this dog now that you're not going to take her?Quote:

Zach
Jake
Blue (too common for a blue merle, I know)
Chase
Blaze
That's it for now. :)
This means she has hip dysplasia. Not sevure or anything, but her hips are not healthy enough to do competive agility. The owner will just keep looking for a good home for her, she is not in danger of going to a shelter now that I have gotten to know the owner, she loves her and is looking out for her well being. I would have tooken her if I was looking for a dog to come in to my home for just a pet, but since I was to trial she is just not the right dog for me.Quote:

What a handsome man! When will you know about this little guy?
Are you trying to think of registered names, or just a call name?
(I thought the suggestion of Jake was good, sounds jazzy, like he looks)
I hope Sage finds a good home, sounds like his owner is looking out for his well-being.
I am so sorry to hear about Sage, Bre. I really hope that you will get this little guy, though! He's a beauty! :eek:
I am sorry to hear things didn't work out with Sage. I hope this guy works out for you! He's beautiful. I can't help with names, as I'm not good at coming up with them at all, especially when it comes to males.
Yah! I am meeting him on Sunday! Can't wait!
I was thinking about this at work for some reason but I thought you wanted a Standard poodle?
Ohhh Sunday is only in two days!! I might be getting a little bit too excited for you, lol :D
For some reason, the name "Leo" popped into my head when I saw his picture...I also like Taz_Zoee's suggestion of Zach, and your idea of Aiden.
I was going to get one next year (the litter is planned), but then this whole thing started with Zoey, and my boss told me when I move out it will be hard to find renters who will allow 2 big dogs. So I told the breeders to take me off there waiting list. Doesn't mean I won't have a standard, just not at the moment.Quote:

Dakotah fits him perfectly! I hope all goes well when you meet him on Sunday :D
OMG! I'm back from meeting him and he is truely amazing! He warmed up to all of my family very quickly, and what a kisser! He is so sweet and he is perfect for our family! No pictures, I was to excited to even stop and take one :o , but he looks a lot different from the picture he is darker in color, but what a beauty! His personality is just sooooo amazing. Ok I'm done bragging!
Flatcoatluver, if the owner doesn't find a home for the dog with the problem hip - will she just stay with the owner for the rest of her life? Or, is there a good chance that someone will take her that does not plan to have her do agility competitions. Will she still be able to take walks and do regular, everyday activities?Quote:

So when are you bringing him home?! :p
If all goes well probally my birthday (June 17th) :DQuote:

I thought of the name Dakota (without an h) but thought you were wanting shorter names. That's why all the ones I suggested were one syllable. :)
But I do love the name Dakotah, especially with the h. :p
I can't believe you didn't take pictures!! :eek: Now you're killing us making us wait. ;) And that's so cool that you get to pick him up on your birthday. :D :D
Congratulations! He is absolutely stunning! :D
Dakotah is a nice name, but not exactly short like you were asking for. :p You'll have to think of nickname to call him on the agility course. :p
Man, the 17th is toooo far away! I want more pictures NOW. ;)
