airbear Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 I finally have some more recent pics of Lou working. All of these photos are courtesy of Lori Landy, who was the trial photographer. Keeping an eye on his sheep: Starting his drive (the obligatory rear-end shot): Here is the black side of his split face: And now the white side: I am absurdly proud of how white his white parts are : Attempting to set up a shed: Panic! What the heck am I supposed to do now?? Perhaps I will make kissy-faces at my dog: And, er, no, we didn't pen. Apparently, standing like a garden gnome is not the way you help your dog at the pen. Ah well, I'm learning. Lou has been a very patient teacher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anda Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Nice shots! I love seeing Lou, working, putzing around, sleeping with his frog, etc I like the 5th shot, he's such a regal looking dog! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airbear Posted June 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Awww, thanks! You have always been Lou's biggest fan. I'm sure that it has nothing to do with the fact that you own a magnificent split-faced boy, too. Anyway, I am happy that I have pictures of my dog at a trial. I must have a a hundred gigs of other people's dogs at trials, but none of my boy (and me). So I was very happy to fork over some cash to get pics!

Guest pax Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 You guys look great to me. Kissy faces are a big improvement over some of the moves I pull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoe Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Great pics from another BIG Lou fan ! I really like the fourth one where you can see his "line" - I mean his body ( minus the hair ). Not quite sure how to put it, but I have an image of Lou being very chunky, but he looks like a muscle machine there. And his white parts ARE white - don't tell us you bleach them ..!!! And the one of you praying is a classic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrisK Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Nice shots! Lou is one fine looking boy I love split faces. It looked like you had a great time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airbear Posted June 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 ...but I have an image of Lou being very chunky, but he looks like a muscle machine there. Yes, he is very lean, too lean according to some people. He is bonier than Wick, but very well-muscled. He weighed 22.8 kilos at his last weigh-in, which is about 51 lbs. He's just a very big dog - tall (24") and big-boned. And his white parts ARE white - don't tell us you bleach them ..!!! OK, I won't tell you. Actually, I sometimes chalk him to get the yellow tinge out, and occasionally will use a blueing shampoo on his white parts. Othertimes, I just hose him off. He's pretty easy to keep clean.
