    I would love to know what Ripley and Perky looked like as puppys, Ripley in particular as we have always wondered if he tail is a natural bob or if its docked and if its docked is it profesionaly done or did they just use an elastic band?besides how much cuter could have possably been? lol

    Spot is the only one of ours we did not get as a puppy. I would have loved to have seen him, he had to be adorable!!!

    We're pretty fortunate, Star was only 5 weeks old when we got her, so we got to enjoy her puppyhood & also saw both of her parents. My RB Rosie was about 31/2 months old when we got her & already weighed 20 lbs, but I'll bet she was cute that first couple months, too. Sherman was 1 1/2, but his breeder sent me puppy pictures, which I very much appreciated. We also met his parents & siblings. I wish there was some way for everyone to get to see their pets as babies, too. They're all so cute!

    We got Kai at 12 weeks. I really wish I got to see him at 8 weeks though, nothing cuter than a Sheltie pup.

    We got Kaedyn at 6 or so. I may be biased, but I think he's one of the cutest adult Shelties I've ever seen.. I bet he was just the cutest little thing as a pup.

    Kai [Sheltie], Kaedyn [Sheltie], Keeva [Malinois], Kwik [Malinois]
