the ones with long hair look bigger, and the gals are always much smaller
I committed to this little guy, but he is meeting some people tomorrow. I decided after seeing a video of him running an obstacle course. It was pretty cool. The lady used lawn fencing to create a tunnel and put all kinds of things like plastic sleds and stair steppers. Then seeing how he was focused on her and obviously eager to please, made me want him. We shall see. The white on his chest and toes is perfectly acceptable according to the breed standard
Edit:
What I saw was him run ahead until he got to a tall stairstepper. He hesitated, and then he turned around and noticed that she was still at the gate. He ran back, but then the lady was on her way and out ahead of him. He came bounding up, and when he got to the blue step trainer he hesitated just a little bit and jumped right up. They ran the rest of the course with wobbly and infirm things, turned around and back through them again. He pretty much jumped over the second to the last and tumbled over the first obstacle and crashed into the gate. They went out on a concrete porch and he trotted over to the edge, then he saw something in the field. He was standing there on point staring at something and she called him. His ears twitched. She called him again, and he spun around and ran right up to her. She had him heal and sit, but his ears and attention were still in that field. As she talks to him, the left ear stays focused on the field and the right ear twists around backwards to listen to her jabber.
