(That's probably why the breeder didn't keep him - silly standards would eliminate him from Conformation competitions and lower his value as a stud dog. Thank Dog!)<br />He was 50 pounds when I adopted him, but is now a svelte 37.5, about right for his height. Mostly he is just floof and fluff! :) Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08231007979360748217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041437999194031830.post-20804078865055131982012-09-16T15:17:34.093-07:002012-09-16T15:17:34.093-07:00LineoSeelovv the pics..those guineafowl are wonder...LineoSeelovv the pics..those guineafowl are wonderful watch dogs..they make a real racket if you drive up to a home that has them..people actually have them for that reason alot of times<br />Eddie is so beautiful..is he not large for a sheltie tho?<br /><br />CherylAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041437999194031830.post-77754791577795926822012-09-16T15:17:28.075-07:002012-09-16T15:17:28.075-07:00Love all these photos.

I love it that Eddie has you (and life) figured out so perfectly :) What a gorgeous dog! And, congratulations on those prize-winning photographs. I'm a bit late commenting but I have a (fairly) good excuse. My post is finally published to record our visit with you and Eddie. Thanks again. What fun we had!Black Jack's Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18436115876996209227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041437999194031830.post-68898614629225809442012-09-14T07:33:45.936-07:002012-09-14T07:33:45.936-07:00What a beautiful park.

I'm knackered!<br /><br />The park looks so pristine and empty. I would be nervous to walk there on my own I think. Isn't Eddie the smarty! Georgia is the same. When there's a treat, she suddenly becomes a genius.<br /><br />I noticed you did away with the verification thing. THANK YOU! I've always wondered why they have to make it so hard to read. Surely being able to type out random numbers and words would be proof enough without having to ruin someone's eyesight in the process. Anyway, hope the spammers don't act up too much. I delete them every day so they don't build up.<br /><br />Have a great weekend! Xgeorgia little peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01388133043071314431noreply@blogger.com
