Thanks Meewolfie!

I really love the merles too. We had a blue-merle Sheltie when I was a kid.

How funny you mentioned Clean Run. I've been talking with them lately. They prefer outdoor images and require portrait orientation for cover shots

I have no idea what the "norm" is in the dog world, but their payment schedule seems a bit on the low side to me. Again, I really have nothing to base that on since I've not really done a lot of publishing research on the pet side of the house.
