Did I miss the pictures of the heeler pups with the coats changing from white?

Also, how big do ACD's get?

Males should be 18-20" at withers
Females 17-19" at withers

Here's the AKC standard.

I didn't see a weight specified but I would think around 35-45 pounds. Dooley is 45.5 pounds, he is taller (22"), but he is also much leaner. Around here I rarely see one that is at an appropriate weight, they always seem to be a bit TOO well fed.
