Well, though she's really still very much a puppy, she's a solid 6 months and 60-some lbs, so perhaps it's time to move her to this folder. Two photos from a brisk (low 30s) park ramble today. She's wet from stream romping and muddy from general hill climbing and in the second one she has a pine cone in her mouth. But she's my little lovely!
(1) guarding the kids (my son and his 5 year old "cousin") as they piggy back down the trail; (2) me trying to get a moderately Ok photo of her, even as she's wet and muddy; (3) close-up, with pine cone (sigh).
Beautiful girl!

Ozzy - 10/2002 - 06/2011 - Rest well my sweet boy. You are forever remembered, forever missed, forever in my heart.

I love her head, very feminine and a kind expression, ever while eating a pine cone!!!
Just out of curiosity how tall is she at the shoulder? She really reminds me of Sophie at the age, who was also about 60 pounds at 6 months. Sophie topped out at 78 pounds at 9 months, then as she matured the baby fat started coming off, and she's been between 65-70 pounds since about 16 months. Spayed at 22 months.
I think your girl is gorgeous.

Thank you—I think she's pretty gorgeous, too (though I had absolutely nothing to do with that part of things!).
I'll have to measure her (hah hah let's get her to hold still for that). I believe she is just under / around 22", but should grow another inch, I think. Her line is not super tall, but rather medium-sized and solid. Her dam is about 90 lbs, but the breeder remarks "she's a bit too fat." I think that a good weight for Hoku will be in the 80 lb range (as long as she's kept very active), but we'll see as she matures. I also won't spay until closer to two years, when she's sexually mature.
(And yes, she also strikes me as "feminine," but I honestly don't know what I mean by that in this case!)
She's beautiful!

Sophie is gorgeous in that photo (How old is she now?). Yes, they look very similar in terms of size and structure.
Pretty girl.
