Yeah sure, I remember when Quigley was this age. LOL Now he's up-sits level with my hip and weighs 80 pounds. Those ears become satellite dishes, you can even watch them rotate to pick up sounds. No question cattledogs are adorable pups and real characters when they grow up. These are smart, sneaky, energetic dogs so one piece of advice: make sure he always has a job to do and an authorized chew! (P.S. A dozen years later, Quigley is mostly a good boy and always Mommy's Inky-Binky Moose Brain.)
