Thanks! Frosty's breeder lives here in Iowa, but maybe he has a similar pedigree with Niko? Here's the link too my breeder's site http://www.tartanwyn.com/ . Niko is very beautiful as well! I have always preferred blues without the brown points.

Niko is such a handsome doggie! I love the Blue merle so much!

Thanks for the add! Niko is so handsome!!

Good luck and keep us updated on the shows...Westminister here you come!

Hi Stefanie,
Oh yes, you can see the family resemblance in our pups. Have you been showing Niko? Pumpkin just turned 8, where does the time go? She's been a bit lazy the past few weeks since our weather here is extremely hot and she can't go to the beach in August, so we're just waiting until the tourists leave. Then I'll snap more pics of her.

your dog is SO beautiful !!!! and those eyes !!!

Thanks!

Lance is doing good, thanks! Were finally getting some nice weather so weve been able to get out and walk, yay! Cant wait til the nice weather is here for good!.

Niko is getting so big! Love him in his costumes,so cute!

I know, I can't believe how quickly he has grown. One day he was this little puppy I could hold with one hand, now I have this 28 lb. dog that tires me out from carying him up and down the stairs. :) He's a good boy though and I can't wait to see what kind of grown up he becomes.

Lance says Hi! : )

39 lbs already? The breed standard puts 38 lbs as the upper limit for dogs! He might make the decision to show him in breed for you by outgrowing the standard. Hoover's top weight during his showing was 34 lbs, he weighs 30 1/2 lbs now. He was almost always the smallest dog in the ring, there are definitely overlarge dogs being shown now, bitches too. The mighty Niko! :-D

Have you shown in confirmation before? We got Hoover as a pet, but his breeder asked if I'd like to try showing him. He finished in 8 shows despite having me on the other end of the leash! heh

Hi Stefanie! Niko is adorable, how old is he? And what's his breeding? He does look quite a bit like Hoover.

Wow, even their eyes are very similar....mine has about 1/3 blue in the right eye and the rest brown. A shorter coat, similar amounts of black, and same tone of the grey. The brindle coloring is very light and blends into the rest the same way. Cool!

Hi Stephanie. I just wanted to invite you to come join the new "Blue Crew" group. Nothing but blue Cardis, what fun! :)

Hi...when did you get your girl? I have been talking to Robin about possibly getting one of her pups later this year. I would love a blue merle boy!
A friend of mine has one of Robin's pups, too - he is a black/white with brindle points, a fluffy.

niko has amazing color! im sure his personality is the same......
