No, I don't have pics of any of the smaller ones with him. Thanks for the compliments.
I got him from his breeder who shows dogs. She showed him a couple of times but he wasn't "perfect" enough for showing, so she decided to sell him.
He was at least 15 pounds underweight. He had huge callouses on his elbows from lying on hard surfaces, he was on cheap food and his coat and skin showed it. I got him and had him neutered and started him on a good diet. He has gained at least 10 lbs now - his ribs and backbone aren't sticking out any more. His coat is shiny and looks great and his skin is coming along great.
I'm really glad I got him away from that home. He is pampered here and never has to lie down on anything hard. His callouses are getting better with me applying stuff to them every day. He is settling down and is trusting people more. We started obedience classes so I can take him for walks and not be afraid he will bolt.
He does walk very well on a leash. (at least he was taught that) He didn't even know what SIT meant when I got him.
He is a sweetheart and tries to sit on my lap.
