| omg! the breeder did me wrong... or right? Okay, so I decided to go back and look at the pictures of Riley in the email the breeder sent me. Ya know, so I could see if she's changed since she's been with me and I noticed a major different in the picture of 'Riley' and the actual Riley... The puppy in the picture has floppy ears, while my Riley Bear has fully erect ears! Plus, I just know that isn't my Riley. So I think I might have supported a bad breeder (or whatever you want to call it) because now that I have more information on what a good respectable breeder is like, I realize how the breeder I got her from was the exact opposite. Although, I can't bring myself to be upset by it because now that I have my little Riley Bear, she means the world to me. So, the breeder did do me wrong by not giving me the puppy she showed me, but at the same time I'm happy she didn't because in my opinion Riley is much cuter than the picture she showed me (however my opinion is biased haha). What are you opinions on this breeder? Here are some pictures of Riley and supposed to be 'Riley':

I thought that for a split second, but Riley had erect ears from the moment I got her. Plus the puppy in the picture looks older and a bit bigger then my Riley.

| I was going to say the same thing as Heather. Puppies ears are down when they are born and slowly go up as they age. Some never stand all the way up and will have floppy ears as adults. It could very well be the same puppy... Both pictures are adorable!

| Ears can go up overnight. I've looked at both pictures and they look like the same pup to me, it just looks like the one picture is darker which could make the pup look different Last edited by phfgkl; 03-14-2009 at 05:11 PM. |

| They are both adorable but the difference I can see, other than the ears is, the black on the face. One has black on the nose and one has no black at all on the nose

| I think it is the same puppy. The puppy in the first picture is looking up so the ears would fall back and appear erect. Also, puppies ears can go up and down when they are teething. If you shaved your babies ears and taped them they most likely would stand up. She is adorable. I went back and read, I got the two pictures mixed up. Your Riley is the one with the ears up. So the pup with the ears down is probably the same dog but the ears had just not come up yet. Last edited by bjh; 03-14-2009 at 05:22 PM. Reason: added comment |

| Like I said, the picture puppy looks a bit older than Riley. Riley just now looks like she's getting there. Not to mention, Riley has (and always has had) a bit of white around her nose and mouth. The picture puppy, doesn't.

Thor's Human Donating Member | I think maybe Riley's color is breaking as she gets older. I really studied both pictures, and if they are not the same dog, they are strikingly similar.

| Look at the eyes. I think that is the same adorable Riley I am looking at in both pictures.
