Leah- have you looked at the German pinscher? Looks more like peppers size! Would be more "rare" than a min pin mix though!

Abriana,
somebody welsmere knows how to breed a collie. lovely white-collar tri-color. a bit High stationed, the hocks are a little bit long. but I tell you what ,the Symmetry in this dog is really Superior !
really really nice lines on this dog. it's so nice to see a lithe collie that doesn't have its hocks stretched out behind it like a silly German Shepherd. somebody knew what they are doing at this kennel. I can't wait to see the pedigree. " Lithe" is the first descriptive word in the collie Standard. Lithe and a keen mind are what collies are all about. it's what makes a collie able to do what it's historically supposed to do... and this dogs got it.
Best,
Karen

Hi Brianna, been hanging over at the wellsmere website. very interesting gene pool. it makes sense . Clearvu and Van-M often teamed up. I see the Abbey Hill in there. that one girl" Spurn Me Not "...the best dog in that pedigree believe it or not is Champion Valiant Dark Secret. I knew that dog. he died young , tragically hit by a car. he was the most stunning dog ,a tricolor rough . he was from the old Valiant gene pool before things got crazy. Excellent mover.
Wellsmere shows they understand their gene pool by testing for all the right things. The rears could be more collected under the dogs. Bit of stretching out going on there, but certainly fixable with a bit of breeding attention. That comes with lowering the hocks a bit so it fits better under the thigh instead of behind the thigh.
The collie Standard says 'hocks well let down". the reason for that is because the collie is supposed to have " a mile eating gait". it can Trot many miles.
dogs with a lower let down (shorter in length) hock are called "stayers". they can trot all day long.
dogs with a higher (longer) hock are called "goers". they can do really well with bursts of speed but they don't have the staying ability that the dog with a lower hock has. they're more of a a burst of speed dog with a longer hock.
Best,
Karen

The schnauzers really prefer my boyfriend to me.

So this is my baby! Love of my life. Jack, he is 6 months old today and weighing in at 100lbs so far. His mother is a Great Dane and his father is an Irish Wolfhound, so I call him an Irish Dane!
