Jen, it's exelent picture. You should send it for a contest.Granson  is beautiful.

How old is your dog?

Really cute picture!  Thank you for sharing it.  Kathy

 That is a very sweet photo.I am very courious about Ninja's coloring. He looks a like a Sable mix and let me tell you his coloring makes for a really nice looking Shepherd.

 I would like to see some more photo's of him a full body shot????

Oh I have not posted any photo's of Yuma. He is getting to be a big boy he is 18 weeks old and weights in at 45 pounds.

 

 

 

I made a collage of him to show you how much he has changed. He doesn't even look like the same dog

 

Yuma is a beautiful dog Karma!  Wow, already 45 lbs at 18 weeks.  Were his parents of good size?  It sounds like he'll be 75 lbs or so when full grown?  When I got my shepherd mix at 11 months old she was 42 lbs and now is 60 lbs.  Kathy

 His mother was about average a slight bit bigger but his dad was big. The fathers head was up to my rib cage and I am 5 foot 7. At Yuma's first vet appoitment and only 8 weeks old he we 14 pounds one week later he was 18 pounds 3 weeks later he was 29 pounds and 3 weeks and 2 days from that he was 40 pounds that was 3 weeks ago...

 He is like a bad weed...lol I am thinking he might get to somewhere between 80 and 90 pounds  that would make me happy because I wanted a big dog.

 I haven't shared this story yet because it still makes me shake my head

Monday night we are eating dinner and Yuma has been house broken for 5 or 6 weeks now all of a sudden I could smell this Smell I said did someone PooooPooo?sure enough he did right there on the floor,so I cleaned that up washed my hands and came back to eat.Almost done my dinner when my daughter speaks up and says"Mom yuma Pooped on the Christmas tree" I was like NO WAY and sure enough I looked and he did.So we took it all apart and took it out and sprayed it down.

I was so MAD at him but yet I was laughing so hard I had tears running down my face.

Yuma is a beauty - (even if he does poop on the tree!) LOL

Ninja came from the shelter with a "known" background (owner surrender) and we were told she was a black and sable.  I wasn't sure really as I wasn't that familiar with the sable varieties, but ran into someone in my neighborhood with a dog that looked almost identical to Ninja.  I was sure they must be related until I found out she imported hers from Hungary!  Inany event, she's been a lot of fun - a sweet girl, and at 10 months she's about 60 lbs.

  Here are a few pics - the one with the tortoise was when we first got her at 4 months.

 

 

I hope you told Yuma that Santa is gonna skip him this year for his naughty act! di

 All I have to say is ....WOW... that is one beautiful girl.Looking at these 2 photo's of her she looks to be a Sable/Black and Red cross and her face looks very strong like a males.

 

 

these were taken yesterday
