I'm so glad Blake found a good home! I hope his new owner(s) keep in touch with you (and share photos you...so you can share those with us. I'd love to see how he does when he hits the ring!)

What is the height requirement for females in the US? Do you think she's small in frame or in height? What does your instinct tell you to do? Usually instinct is right on target

Well the height standard for bitches is 22-24" tall at the shoulders. However there is no DQ for Collies in the show ring (besides males with missing testicles, which is a DQ for every breed)... so you can show smaller collies or larger ones...

Amy was the same way though. When she was a puppy, she was the runt and much smaller than the rest. I almost sold her to a pet home, the first puppy to go actually, I had someone that wanted her.. because the bigger ones always picked on her. However, she finally grew.. and today she isn't a huge bitch but she isn't tiny. She just took a while to catch up. She ended up being the pick of that litter by far... and this little pup reminds me of her.... Amy is one of the nicest bitches I have, IMO! even though she refuses to show! LOL

The people that handle my dogs for me at shows when I can't go have seen them fairly recently and think she looks fine, actually they think she is really pretty... but I see her all the time so I don't notice her growing like they do I guess???? we'll see...
