Brolly's Photo Diary

I like Post Process 2 also...
For his ears.. if you want to stick with the tampon tubes... because of his length, use the smaller of the tubes as a 'joiner' for 2 larger tubes. You don't have to use the whole tube, but it will give it the strength you need. Good Luck! BTW Ditto on everyone else's comments! You have a gorgeous little man there!!

Looks like post process 2 is the favorite so far. We are using a bit of the smaller tube to join two larger tubes (actually my wife is doing it, I wouldn't know what I was doing). A generous wrap of tape at the joint has seemed to keep the two lengths straight. We've been changing his posts every couple of days because we keep finding things wrong with them, but I think we got it right this last time and we will let them stay in until they start to come undone. After the discomfort of the cropping and all of this posting, it's the least we can do for Brolly to get his ears right, and make him handsome for the ladies.
 
I was going to say 1st. then the 2nd, but to be honest i love all 3! :rofl: I LOVE his crop! I think your going to have an incredible looking dobe when hes matured! :thumbsup:
 
What a great shot! I'm sort of a stickler for the original shots when all is said and done, but your second PhotoShop one is my favorite out of the two as well. :)

It looks like you're doing a great job on the posting, and you're absolutely right about getting it just right now when you have the chance. Have you checked out the method I posted here to use minimal tape that I used for Della and Albert, who also has a long show crop? It works great and it's especially nice with the really long crops so you wouldn't have to monkey with taping the 2 tampons together.

I saw your method both on this site and the other, and we will definitely try it when we run out of tampons. We bought a BUNCH! :D I just can't let the breeder know if we quit doing it her way. I fear for my life everytime she finds out we aren't doing exactly what she told us to!:p

Here's a quick video I took today.
 
What a great video and I love him sniffing the flowers! Such a handsome little guy!

Oops, sorry. There was a method similar to yours with the backer rod wrapped in duct tape on the other site and I thought you had posted it. It turns out it was someone else. Sorry for the confusion!

Great, Great shots !!! That boy is going to be a looker for sure when he grows into those ears. LOL

Thanks! He does look a bit funny now with the big antennas. They cut his a little longer than the other puppies that were being done at the time due to him apparently having a bigger head or something. :)

Oh he'll grow into it, I thought that too when my boy was a puppy, his ears seemed so long, now they seem almost short........ He really is a great looking boy though. Congratulations !
 
Reposted again today and took some pictures while his ears were out. I think the right ear was cut a bit larger than the left. Oh well, nothing to be done about it now. We loosened the bridge this time to try to get his ears to go straight up instead of tilting inward. It seems like you have to be part artist while posting.

He's finally starting to catch up to his feet!

Beautiful! River's started doing that, too and we ended up having to use a piece of the backer rod to create a bumper between her ears to hold them at the 11 and 1 o'clock positions they should be in. Something you might consider if just loosening it doesn't make enough difference.
 
The first head shot is my favourite. Just stunning. Your boy is super cute and will grow into a very very handsome dude that's for sure. :)

he sure is a looker, what a beautiful face and sparkly eyes , they grow so quickly, I took Buddy's picture next to a table every couple of weeks and you can see just how much he has grown, you could maybe start your own growth diary, here is the link to Buddy's table diary.

That's a great idea. I'm going to have to find a good point of reference then start taking periodic pictures.
 
He's just beautiful and I love his crop!!!! I've found that totally losing the center brace the first time you start seeing slack in the middle does a lot of good so they don't start pulling in, but it looks like they're already correcting very nicely.

Thanks for the update!
