Happy birthday little Ta!

One year already!!! Still super small and tiny... - but as loud and fierce as it gets 🙂 Bi's best little buddy, specialized in stealing anything Bi has (and my only dog who finds Bi's games just as fun as Bi does), in herding To (preferably when To is swimming) and in giving kisses (preferably to Bu from some reason) - she sure is a fun little dog! We call her Border Pap, because of her tiny lap size and BIG ears.

She is rather slow to mature and prone to falling, so we haven't done much agility-wise so far, but she sure learns super fast - super proud of her dog-walk (low height of course) and weave entries (no weaving yet of course, we just did maybe 5 sessions on a channel). Hopefully we learn the rest without breaking anyone's neck one day as well!

I promise you'll get some extra kale today - special favorite treat of a special girl! 🙂

    Congratulations on your 1st birthday, Ta!
    I’m looking forward to watching her nice run in front of me. So I’ll do my best with Nao.
    Hope you and Ta have an amazing year ahead!

    Happy Birthday Ta! May I ask how tall is she? You mentioned she’s tiny and my BC looks the same size as her (she’s ruffly 48 cm tall). I was super worried about her at first because she seemed not growing enough… so I’m super interested in smaller BCs 🙂

      Ta is 47cm and 10kg, so we have a winner 🙂 And she looks even smaller as that as she is so narrow and has really small head 🙂 People always called To small and narrow… -- but Ta makes her look like a put bull 🙂

        Ahah indeed we have a winner! Fly is 12,5 kg but she’s all muscles. I feel so relieved knowing there are other small BCs out there who do great! Ta is beautiful by the way! And she looks very proportionate as well!

          Yes, I’m sure Ta will fill out more. We have another BC from her lines in Slovenia that is same size as her (but wider) and she runs and jumps great, so let’s hope Ta will look just as good one day…

    OH my she is so cute!~!!!!! That’s bigger than Bim. She looks much smaller than him. Isn’t Kirk 44.5cm? That is Bim’s size. We have several BCs around here that measure around that.
    But doesn’t that mean she will jump in large? How tall is To?
    Hmmmm, she is prone to falling?? Does she just not care? I take care of a dog who sometimes just seems to enjoy it. He will run and kind of throw himself on the ground. It’s funny, but not funny.

      Yes, she looks smaller as Bim or Kirk to me, but maybe just because she is so tiny and short in back. But yeah, she will need to jump 60cm… To is just below 50cm.

      She didn’t care about falling no, but I always get so worried that I think she does now -- but it still happens. Like when she is picking up a toy or turning or once she had an ugly fall when banking off the contact… She doesn’t bank anymore though, fortunately!

    Happy Birthday Ta! When I was looking for a puppy I was looking for the best odds to get a BC on the larger side. When I got my 5 yo BC Jake size wasn’t an issue at all and he turned out to be 57cm and 24kgs. I came to like his size and competing in the higher jump height classes. That being said, I’m hoping Juno grows into those HUGE paws!

      Wow for 57cm! My girls from oldest to youngest are 53-51-50-47 -- getting smaller&smaller 🙂

    Happy Birthday Ta ❤️ Hope you can live as happy and nice you are for the longest time
    I really love her Silvia!! Great ears (but maybe my boyfriend’s boy, Mad, would win the ear contest…you’ll see it in next RC class) and really nice size…I like her!
    Ceres is 47,8 cm X 13,5 kg and well…you’ve seen her…no problems for jumping!!!

      Oh yes, I would love if Ta jumped and moved like Ceres when she grows up!!!
