Ok, I will give a bit of background on my girl Nadia in case you don't know about her. We brought in a dog when we had two litter of puppies. The vet checked the new dog out and everything came back clear...results of those tests were wrong and our puppies got sick. We lost three. This is our Nadia that we ended up keeping. We syringe fed her for three months and the vet told us he didn't think she would make it! Well she did!! She lost all of the hair on her legs due to getting sick so we had to shave her - thus the shorter hair. Here she is at 7 months old!! I think she is turning out very nice and we are thinking of UKC showing her. She is AKC, but I have been told to try UKC as they are nicer to newbies. Look how good she is without me even holding her
