Oh wow! You did a great job with her. She looks simply stunning now! :wub: You should capture her playing with the others and share them 
Claire - All Grown Up
Claire has been in our family now for about 14 months. In some ways it really doesn’t seem like it could have been that long. Having three has been wonderful. At first I was overwhelmed and sleep deprived. It was tough getting in to a new routine with Claire’s habits. But she has really made a very positive difference in doggy dynamics here. She plays well with both Kallie and Catcher even though those two rarely play together. She gets along great with both of them and I can see that they enjoy having her in the family. She and Catcher are major buddies and she pretty much looks to him to guide her regarding what to do.
Also, she has really blossomed in to such a pretty girl. When I got her at 7 months she had a lot of tear staining and her facial hair and ears were on the short side. I cut out all the tear staining and it has grown back in white. I’m not sure why she had the staining as she was finished with teething but for whatever reason it’s gone now!
Just so you can see how much they can change as they mature,
here are a couple older photos . . .
This is a picture from the breeder before I got her:

Here is one not long after she joined our family.

Thanks! I doubt you will ever see action shots from me. They are a total blur. LOLOh wow! You did a great job with her. She looks simply stunning now! :wub: You should capture her playing with the others and share them
Claire is stunning!
Awww, thanks, Kat! Claire is easy to take care of!
I lucked out with her coat.
Awww, thanks! Well, they def. get loved on a lot but they still are so sweet and don't act spoiled, even if they are!
Oh, thanks!! I got the idea of cutting out the stains from you and how great Rain looked once they were cut!
Thank you so much!!
Thanks, Reva. Three really isn't too hard. It's a challenge taking them all to the groomer's as they get so excited, etc. but at home they are really easy to manage.
Oh, thanks so much!Claire is stunning!
Thanks, Paula!! The 2nd face close up is my favorite. It really captured how she looks.
Oh, thank you! I appreciate it!! She is such a pleasure to be around. A real sweetheart.
Thanks so very much!!!
