Sadie - 21 lbs 15 1/4 inches 14 months. Kileaux - 24 lbs 15 inches 11 months and 3 weeks. Sadie and Kileaux were always oversize in the chart, but haven't grown very much in the last two months, other than Kileaux getting a little thick around the middle! :)

Oh my goodness!

The symptoms started on Thursday, and by Friday afternoon, Sadie was squatting to pee 3 or 4 times every time she was outside. Which for this girl, is quite unusual. Took a urine sample along with Sadie to the vet this afternoon. Diagnosis was bladder infection. She is on antibiotics for the...

I feed Wellness Super5 Mix Lamb... Hmmm hmm.

My husband and I just relocated from Bossier City, LA to Rogers, AR for his job. About a 7 hour drive. I wish I had advice to give you, but all mine did was sleep the whole way with 2 stops for gas/potty breaks. We just have two small cars, and they outgrew their 'puppy' crates. So we use the...

Did I mention I want my third Sheltie to be a Bi Black?!! Beautiful pictures!

It is so painful to be patient when waiting for our Sheltie's coats to come in. The photo's wouldn't load for me, so the only advice I can give it to wait it out. Like what has been said before, his coat isn't completely in for a couple more years. Just keep those fingers crossed, feed him a...

Thank you! I always am paranoid that their coats are not full or long enough yet! For a long time, everyone thought Kileaux was a Australian Shepherd everywhere she went. While I like the AS's, I am glad she is starting to get her fuller coat and represent the Sheltie more. :yes: We just...

Not a silly question. It is pronounced Key-Low. My husband named her, and at first we were spelling it Kilo, but lived in Louisiana and my husband like the thought of making it more French.. so Kileaux it became. We also didn't want it to sound anything like her older sister, Sadie. As different...

The girls are getting so big and their coats are coming in lovely. Thought that time would never get here! Enjoy! Sadie Ann - "What, Mom?" http://i45.tinypic.com/2cest4h.jpg Sadie Ann - "Mom just re-glued my ears.. I'm pouting." http://i50.tinypic.com/t8n1ub.jpg Kileaux - "Watcha...

My sable female has always had quite frizzy drawers.. I just used the CC products for the first time last week, which included a conditioner. I could tell a difference as soon as I started rinsing the conditioner out. A lot smoother, softer and manageable. Highly recommend!

My Sadie just finished her first heat and she started at 9 1/2 months. Then there's Kileaux, my other female who is 8 months and has yet to start her first. I agree that they tend to go a little later then 5-6 months.

My two have never had their anal glands expressed. Although I think it is a good idea for every dog owner to either get them checked or be taught to check. They literally feel like two small grapes on each side of the anus when full. I also have been told by my vet, that expressing anal glands...

Prevention is key but never 100%. My two came from the same breeder, but different litters and unrelated. Sadie didn't have any issues with any worms or coccidia. Kileaux tested positive for coccidia at her 12 week check up(second check up with us, 4 weeks since we brought her home. You...

Welcome to the forum and hello from a Missouri native! I grew up in the Joplin, MO area! My two Shelties have known nothing but living in an apartment, so don't let that deter you at all. Do I wish my two had a yard? For sure, but as long as they get the activity they need to be happy, I have...
