Thanks for all your kind words. Gorky's new haircut is great and my husband and I are enjoying the easy combout with the shorter hair. I can already see some of his adult hair coming in around his neck. Happy Holidays to all of you. I have learned an awful lot reading this forum

Well! There he is!! He looks so much like Ivy (or vice-versa) LOL It's nice to see an update on Gorky. Thanks for posting the pics and videos. I love his rich brown color. I hope he doesn't fade much.

I hope he doesn't either. He was sunbleached before the haircut and is a much darker color now. I must look at some photos of Ivy again. How many lbs is she at the moment? I understand the mother was 70lbs and the father was 80 lbs.

WOW! We never asked the weight of the parents but we did meet and spend some time with them. We have pics too. We wouldn't have put them at that weight! But maybe it was deceiving. I know that they were overweight and perhaps that explains what they weighed in at.

They are a larger boned dog but our two from them are still not heavy nor do we expect them to be. Ivy is 43 lbs. at 7-months. We are sure she will not see 70 lbs. Taffy was 45 lbs. at 7-months and isn't growing anymore at this time. So we are sure she will not see that size either. She is 10-months old now.

Do you have pictures of Ivy's and Gorky's parents. Gorky is not heavy at all. The vet says he is just the right weight.
