Hi All,
I have had this little girl now for a few weeks now and thought I had better let everyone meet her.Her mother is Coffee and father is Drover.She is very good at learning new things,but is on full bed rest at the moment as she has hurt her leg.I will post some updated pix next week as I am at work and my camera is at home.

She is gorgeous.

very pretty little girl and i like the name Jinx i had a horse by that name years ago he was a very stunning TB chestnut colt with a white blaze and socks. So we may see you at some workshops in 6mths time Sheree_E4 with your pretty girl lol

She is a doll, how cute. Love her markings. Make sure you take plenty of photos as she grows so we can ooh and aah over her.

She is very nice indeed, i hope she recovers from hurting her leg soon, makes you just want to cuddle her ...

I thought I had better add some recent pix here is 'pixie' last night


and one what she will look like when her ears stand up :)

Love that upside down photo! she sure grew legs since I last saw her! what a racy looking girl :-)
Did you see the pics of her I put up in my Binalong bit of my holiday?

Where did those legs come from! She is beautiful, I also like the last shot she looks quite the character. And Pixie does suit her.

how is Jinx's leg going now i hope it's all better

Hi all here is a new pic of Pixie,her leg is fine and she is looking much better now aswell,she went through a stage where she was really skinny and leggy,but has now filled out a bit. She is very good and I am so happy with her.

Who is Pixie's mother and father?? I also have a TJ Koolie and was wondering if she is related to Nudge??

What a happy smile she's got! Love your signature Sheree!

She's looking really nice :-)she has just the same mix of tan grey and black freckles on her legs that Dice does :-)

It's nice to see the blue's get a run! She has developed beautifully you can be very proud of her. Looking back through her photos I realised for the first time her eyes reflect the flash with one red and one green. It's interesting because most of our reflect green but one reflects red...just another question...WHY?

yes i noticed that to maybe it was just the angle and the light was fully in the red eye or maybe it has something to do with the tiny bit of blue marbling she has in the eye that is reflecting back red you can just see a bit of a chip in the last pic's, i know when i shine the torch on my dogs their eyes reflect back mostly green or red but i do have a couple that reflect back blue Kerrie's boy Komo reflected back blue and i fine it very interesting as well

Isn't that interesting. All mine reflect red, and I thought that's the only colour they went. It has to be to do with the amount of rods and cones at the back of the eye. I can't remember exactly how it goes, but some cells in the retina are cone shaped, and some are rod shaped, each sees better in different lights. Nocturnal animals have more of one, and diurnal animals more of the other.

I've done a quick search and this seems to be a good explanation.

The colored reflection from the eyes of dogs comes from a layer of tissue at the back of the eye (the choroid) that contains blood vessels, brown pigment cells, and, in most dogs, a shiny cell layer (the tapetum) covering mostly the upper half. This tapetum probably improves animals’ vision at night. It may be yellow, green, blue, orange, or variations in between those colors. So the tapetum is the usual source of a dog’s eye reflection. Some dogs, though, have very small tapeta or none at all and they show a very dull reflection or none at all. In other dogs, especially dogs with certain hair coat colors (liver, orange-brown) or with blue eyes (irises), very little pigment is present in the back of the eye and the blood vessels that are normally hidden by this pigment are visible and make the reflection bright red.

The most common reflection I've seen in dogs is green and orange. Paxy's eyes reflect red - something I hadn't seen before so I was quite intrigued by this. As dogs age you can usually see the cloudiness from a cataract that forms and this is a dull grey and not the bright reflection at night you get when a dog's eyes are in good health and you can usually still see the cataract in daylight.

Wow, that is interesting about the eye colour. I have always wondered why Ceejay's eyes reflected red as I have never seen a dog's eyes do this.

Well, that explains why all mine reflect red! 3 with orange/brown coats, and one with blue eyes... :-)
