Hello everyone!

[1_love_1_heart]

I'm new to the community and wanted to share some pictures of my baby girl, Roxy. She just turned a year old in February. We got her about a year ago from a lady who got her at a flea market. She is not docked and, though she came with CKC papers, she does not appear to be purebred (not that we give a hoot) judging by the white on her chest and one

She's lovely!

She has to be a pure bred to have CKC papers. Though, she doesn't have to be well-bred (that just means, champ parents and such) - and the white is a throwback. My friend had a beautiful male with a chest spot CKC dog. They usually aren't bred, but it does show. "A few white hairs" is even acceptable in the show standard.

Your baby is impeccibly cute!!

Well, the "papers" look like someone just printed them off of their home computer. They said we just had to fill them out and send them in if we cared to register her. And, I don't know if it's just her young age, but she looks too lanky to be purebred.

Could be her age, it can take female rotts 3 years before they finish their filling out. Some are just lanky. Anyhow, the only purpose to registering her would be if you want to compete in the obedience ring. The blaze puts her out for conformation, and breeding isn't advisable either considering her roots. If you don't care about competing, or are happy to compete in UKC instead, and are just keeping her as an altered pet, then it's a moot point anyway.

She's still adorable. :-)
