I think it was easier thinking only of them as pets. At first I thought she looked a little long-legged but now she seems fine on that count. Then I wondered about silver roots on Ben's head. I will be seeing all sorts of traits and wondering about them. LOL! Luckily, I do not have my heart set on showing and if they turn out to be loving pets only -- that is still a WONDERFUL thing! I absolutely love them! |
If you watch the sidewinders out of the ring, they usually have a normal gait. A lot of the times it's caused by pulling up on the lead, or they're just uncomfortable with their surroundings......You can work them out of it, by walking them against a wall or a curb
