Little Bo Boop Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Stella from this morning. Having to work in btwn. the showers. off the fence out in the big field. Sometimes those fat little lambs don't move fast enough for the kid ;-) Are you sure we can't go back and work some more?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allie Oop Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Nice pictures of Stella working! She is such an amazing looking pup. The one of her in the cooling tub is priceless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Bo Boop Posted July 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 ahh thanks :-) yeah I kinda like her she is getting huge too, she's already bigger than my Liz and she's just over 6 1/2 months old...so she's still got a bit of growing to do yet. I think she's going to be a fair sized girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSmitty Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Those are awesome! She's getting so big! I can't believe she's only 6.5 months old. Great shots! I enjoying all the puppy working photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Bo Boop Posted July 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Well she is different thats for sure , I think she's taking on more of a GSD look now lol, and I guess this is how her ears are gonna be huh? One up one down...oh well...She sure has been fun to start. For a dog that's so keen to work, she's so calm it's scary, never gets rattled, never loses her tail...I'm diggin' her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stockdogranch Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Nice pics! Looks like she's coming along nicely! I agree--in that one tub shot, the face does look a bit GSD-ish! Anna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoloRiver Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Stella is definitely the most unique looking Border Collie I have ever seen. I love her. It's a good thing you're in Texas and I'm not actually a kleptomaniac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good thing you're in Texas and I'm not actually a kleptomaniac. wow Melanie, and here I had you pegged as a strictly tradiional Border Collie person kinda like me (well pre-Stella anyway :-) ) And for sure NO BLUE EYES, oh well....

notailabigail Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 Stella is the most amazing looking dog. She's gorgeous! I bet you can't bring her anywhere without every single person asking you what she is...and then not believing you when you say she's a Border Collie. People don't even believe Ryan is a BC because of his ticking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoloRiver Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 I'm not sure that I really have that many preferences when it comes to looks. I thought of myself partial to reds, for sentimental reasons only, but I'm slowly realizing that it's not the color so much as the light eyes that I'm attracted to. Solo has very expressive eyes and it's partly because they're wolf yellow. Grace's Eve and her kin all remind me of Solo but it's not because they look like him -- they don't, although I thought so at first. I was thrown off by the light eyes and the intelligent expression. I never see a blank expression in any of Grace's photos of Eve, and I really like that in a dog. Stella is like that too. I actually know a dog that looks kind of like Stella -- Gene Sheninger's Mac. I don't know if Gene still has him, Mac was only a puppy last time I saw him. Mac's sire is a heavily ticked white-factored black and white dog and his dam is a saddleback sable (her name is Jess -- she was a Working Border Collie centerfold a couple of years back). Like Stella, he has a lot of white with heavy ticking, both brown and black. Can't remember what color his eyes are. I wish I had a picture of him. He was a very weird looking puppy!

Little Bo Boop Posted July 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 ahhh, my poor baby girl she doesn't look like a coyote...does she the gal that has her brother, says if she was red she'd look like a fox....well I love her anyway Melanie, that sounds like Stella's mom and great gran. ma. they have the black saddle, kind of hard to call the colors, some ticking...then the sire is blk/wht. I guess I don't savvy color genetics enough though...I sure don't understand how you get a blue dog out of that mix. I'd be curious as to what they would call her color...as she's not really what I would call a merle, and she's more of a quad vice tri, as she has blk/wht/blue or gray/red.

borderlicious Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 I love, love, LOVE Stella. She has such a feral look to her and it's even more pronounced when she's working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
