Just thought I'd share a picture of Riley

What a beautiful boy! Absolutely gorgeous! Is he your only dog?

Thanks Emily. No, we have 2 other Weims.

My Blue girl, Indy is 4 years old. She's Spectrum Once in a Blue Moon, JH, CGC, TDI, TT, NAVHDA NA Prize I (112 pts). Will be running her in SH or MH this fall.

Our new pup Pixy (GRB's Touchstone Lil Pixy Stix) is 4.5 months old and from field stock.

Nice looking boy anne. How much does he weigh?

anne · Posted: Wed Aug 17, 2005 2:57 pm Post subject: Re: Riley

Thanks!
At show weight about 60 pounds, but at field weight about 55. He's small, only 24.5" at the withers.

wow, riley is small! i'm hoping schroeder will be on the larger side although i'm not so sure...he will be pretty elegant though.

Wow... he is a little guy, but he is so very handsome. Riddick will be 6 mo at the end of the week and two weeks ago when I took him to the vet he weighed in at 61 lbs and is about 23" tall at the withers... but you should see his feet they look like they belong to a great dane!!! Everyone who see's him is amazed by how large he is for being so young.

Yes Riley is small, all those field genes ya know! Smile

His dad is all show but he was also rather small even though he has big behind him. My personal preference is small. Much nicer for the field. I have a problem with some of the oversized overangulated dogs we see in the ring today, they would never last in the field for an 1 hour or even a 30 min stake!

Riley is too small though. Another inch would have been perfect, and he definitely needs improvement in his bone and substance.

yeah, the field stock pups that heather and i saw at the hunt trials were 9 weeks and schroeder was definitely bigger than them when he was 8 weeks! i am definitely not used to seeing them so small!

Were those the Gus x Shasta puppies? (Dielman's puppies?)

i'm not sure! again, i am bad with remembering names and we didn't really meet the parents. all i know is that one of them was picked up by the new owners that day and i think another was supposed to be picked up the next day.

oh, and one of the puppies had white on it's paw! i'd never seen that before! they said they were going to keep that one.

anne · Posted: Thu Aug 18, 2005 11:49 am Post subject: Re: Riley

They probably were. Those are going to be some top notch competitors. Poor Pixy will have her work cut out for her!

I think that those were the pups... I want to say the breeder was raintree? does that sound right? The womans name was Olga...
