And, WHO was Kissy's first love?? Twisted Evil

Our very own Taliwag Judy, he fell for her from the start in more ways than one

There is 3 weeks difference in there age and Bracken was nearly twice his size but they usually meet and end up teeth fencing in the hedge Rolling Eyes

Aw, such enchanting photos Nikki. I still remember the two of them rolling round together when we all met at Colin's house, So lovely to watch them play together.

Oh! Great photos, Nikki, I thoroughly enjoyed looking at them!!! Beautiful girls at any age, aren't they! Not surprising Tali fell in love! Very Happy

My turn, then. Here is my Foxie at various stages of her life:

2 days old, her breeders sent me lots of early photos of her when I made a firm reservation for her.

2 weeks old

6 weeks old, not too long to wait until I could bring her home!

She's here at long last (8 weeks old)! No bigger than Noisette (this has changed since!).

Her breeder had warned me that she was a little devil - I think this photo really shows it! She's 10 weeks old here.

Some rest (for the cats and for me!!! Twisted Evil

) after a busy day. Approx same age as above.

About 4 months old. Sharing an old bone dug out by her big next door Lab friend Caline (now sadly gone to the bridge).

8 months old, her fur is growing and she looks really weird! Laughing

One year old!

Foxie really enjoyed her first herding weekend (she was almost 2 years old)!

She also liked her first agility lessons, when she was 2 years old (she still enjoys this activity very much)

Although sometimes she thought "Enough now, Mum!" Laughing

Well, since then Foxie hasn't changed much, the notable event in her life was of course the arrival of her little Lowchen friend Miss You, my Honorary Beardie, but... she's got her own thread. Wink

Here they are for their first Christmas together, in 2012 - Foxie was almost 2 and a half and Miss You, who had arrived here in November that year, was 3 years old.

I will end this series of photos with the one which was selected to be included in the beautiful FBC 2014 Calendar for November - a photo taken in May 2013 when Foxie was almost 3 years old.

Who's next with photos of their Beardies then?

Beautiful - all of them...and Miss You was such a cutie when she was littler...

Lovely pics Nikki and Nina, such gorgeous beardies (and Miss You).

Nina - Mary ( Heidiwuff ) sent me a card with an illustration on it which is pretty nearly the same as Foxie on her 1st birthday, chin resting on the table where her cake was....yearning in every fibre of her body.... Laughing

Posted: Wed Aug 09, 2017 9:14 pm

Ah yes, I remember it well Laughing

Posted: Wed Aug 09, 2017 9:16 pm

She is almost exactly like that card, isnt she....and the nose and all

Posted: Wed Aug 09, 2017 9:32 pm

She sure is!

Posted: Wed Aug 09, 2017 9:34 pm

Excellent card....excellent Foxie Very Happy

Nikki, Those photos are just lovely, and all I can say is Bracken and Aria are both the spitting image of Bentley! So are the personalities by the sound of it! Shocked

They may as well have come from the same litters! Shocked

Even the markings, Bentley wasn't overly marked, which I like and he actually chose me, when it came to that time Very Happy

That's why we had such a close bond. Sad

Nina your photos are gorgeous too, and I wish I had some I could put here of mine, well they're all in the photo gallery anyway I think. Confused

Anyway beautiful pics, both of you. thanks. Very Happy

I'd love to see that card, Judy and Mary! Very Happy

AND

I'd love to see other series of pix showing pups slowly turning into big furry Beardies too! Wink
