    Is it weird that Ella doesn't really look that much like her parents? It could be that her other family members carry a bit more weight but she does seem much smaller and slender than the others. Btw... I don't doubt her breeding, more of an observation about her size.

    Mum (although she was very pregnant at this stage so not accurate of her size)

    And brother (same parents, different litter) he's such a beautiful boy, I could have taken him home myself

    Dad is a fatty fatty fat fat! :D
    Brother seems to have a much finer head than the parents - more masculine than Ella, but that's not surprising :)

    Shadow looks a lot like his mum Ruby and behaves like her too, they're both softies. He even has the same freckle on his nose!

    Neither look like Jake, their dad.

    But, there are some other similarities ... :cwl:

    You both are BAD. :rofl:

    Doesn't Ella have those gorgeous long legs, though? Mom or Dad must have a recessive supermodel gene. They all are lovely dogs, though, even if Dad is indeed "show weight". :D

    I think Ella looks like her brother.

    And I definitely see your dogs in their Dad's head, Snowbunny.
