Yeah , he will be pretty good sized , a male Gordie will be about 28-29" tall at the shoulder , about 80 lbs. They are the heaviest of the Setter breeds . But also tend to be the mellowest , most laid back . Anna ---

Precious angel! I love puppy pictures. And I was wondering the same thing as **kaiwik** – do you show? I have a dog with a good pedigree, but I don’t show. ---

Thanks guys ! 😃 I don’t show myself , I have arthritis pretty badly , but one of my best friends is a professional handler ,and she shows my dogs for free for me . I do obedience training and showing , tho … don’t have to run quite so much , and no kneeling-standing-kneeling-standing . This pedigree is a dream come true for me , so many of the old-time lines in there that were almost lost … this makes the name Nick of Time so appropriate . In fact , the daddy of my last male who died 2 years ago , is in there 3 times ! His pedigree also meshes very well with my female , Kharma , so if all goes well , in a couple years when they are both champions , there may be little Gordies in their futures . I have big dreams … ---

**PapSett** I wish you the very best! My breed is the Pomeranian. I am in a wheelchair most of the time, but I have made friend with a couple of women who are helping me get my dogs in the (conformation) ring. Having my own bred by Ch. even if I can’t handle, is my fondest dream! The very best of luck with your Gordon’s, please keep us updated! ---

**Archergal** , what kind of dog do you have ? I love all kinds of dogs ! **Kaiwik** , Poms are SO flippin’ cute ! My parents had (very pet quality) Poms for years , so I have a soft spot for the little fuzzies . I also have 2 Papillons , not show dogs , just m’babies . Not sure if this will work … I will try to post a pic of Kharma , when she was 7 months old , taken the day she took her first point at her very first show . (I am a very proud mama 😃 ) I think you can see from her expression , she thinks she is quite hot shit .

You know what, I was going to ask if the “pap” in your nick stood for Papillon! Your Kharma is indeed hot shit! She is stunning, I truly hope that Nick holds together and you are able to finish him. Okay, if you would like, try this link: > **[Flickr](https://flickr.com/)** > > Flickr is almost certainly the best online photo management and sharing application in the world. Show off your favorite photos and videos to the world, securely and privately show content to your friends and family, or blog the photos and videos you... I just started it last night, so there are only a few photos, but you can get a look at some of my fluff butts. Gunther is pointed, but he injured his leg and it threw off his gait. He is going to be a major player in my breeding program. I lost Delia last November, Fizzel is one of her pups. Tara is Satine’s dam. Niki is the sire to both, but I don’t have his photo up yet. As crippled up as I have become, I don’t know what I would do without my pommies. They are so much more than pets! This is cool, I finally found some dog people here!!! ---

What a handsome boy. I love his serious expression in the second photo, first link. Reminds me of [Fluffy](http://www.puppybreak.com/puppybank/24.208.137.198.1075910950051.jpg). 😃 ---

Oh , Kaiwik ! You have most definitely found a dog person here ! Since my father’s passing in May , my dogs are literally the only family I have . They are my lifeline . Your Pommies are just lovely ! I especially love Tara’s little face , her sparkly little eyes in that black face … Adorable ! eMail me if you wanna talk dog ! And Fluffy ! OMG … what can I say about that little darling ! I can hardly believe that ‘destroyer of the world’ bit . Nope , I refuse to believe that little angel could destroy anything . Thanks for sharing the photos … I love lookin’ at dogs ! Anna ---

Enjoy the new conformation pup. 🙂 Hope you will share your show successes with us! I like the registered name! Hopefully you’ll have a fun time with him once he gets home… and you’ll soon remember how puppyhood, though fun, is a royal pain in the ass 😉 Elly (and the 4 dogs, including 10 month old Pirate) ---

> [@PapSett](#): > > **Archergal** , what kind of dog do you have ? I love all kinds of dogs !] My dogs are Australian Shepherds or Aussie mixes. [Jasper](http://www.flickr.com/photos/archergal5129/23775583/) is my youngest. He wasn’t flashy enough for his breeder, so I got him. It’s a joy to watch him move. He’s my handsome boy! My other dogs are rescues, and are older, but not less loved for that. 🙂 ---

Archergal , your puppies are beautiful ! And I know what you mean about it not mattering where your dogs came from or how old , what they look like, etc. I love all my dogs equally . My oldest girl , Fancy , is going on 11 and she has not aged gracefully … she is a fat old girl that I have to keep shared for her own comfort , is almost merled with grey from vitalago , and is covered with benign lumps . Yeah , she looks pretty bad , but I love her beyond belief ! Elenfair , it has not been all that long since I went thru the puppy terrors , my Kharma just turned a year old in March . I love watching them grow up and mature … and of course there is nothin’ like puppy breath ! ---

SHAVED . I keep her SHAVED for her own comfort . Sheesh . I am getting bad at that .
