Please do not tell compliments, each of you would do the same and as know, many already do much more.
How about her age? Is she looking like 9 mo or younger? Any ideas?

My 7 month old saint puppy is 66 lbs and looks taller than she does. I'd say she is younger than 9 months but who knows?

It is my quess too. You know, European saints are taller than American. My girl is the size of GSD, the same hight, only more fluffy which makes her look bigger.

This morning report - her poop is no more a mess, but big soft pile, nit a puddle anymore, even after last night's worming pills.
She is feeling much more comfortae, still running up and down in one line inside house, like dog on short chain would do, but outside she tries to run and play.
She will be ok, I'm so happy that she is improving.

I cried when I first read this thread...I am so happy she is doing better! I just can not imagine my Rella tied out on a short chain..breaks my heart that any dog goes through this.

You can definitely tell she's skinny in the pictures. She's beautiful, though. I love the big "kissing spot" on top of her head!! She looks like such a sweetie - and that little collie mix puppy you have is adorable as well! She stole my heart.
Keep up the great work! I can't wait to hear more about her progress.

About her progress - from tonight I can say that food agression is gone - all my pack can eat friendly together. She has fitted in on food! I know it is maybe not the best thing, but it has worked so far with all the dogs here, so i carry the same pattern on my fosters - one bowl for all of them at least one meal per day. They are not pushing, stealing or growling - friendly, well mannered meal together.
Off lash as well is going great - she has saint recall, but it is recall, and she is enjoying her freedom so much.
Potty training is nt going so well - she has idea, absolutely, but she just can not hold. But it will be, i'm not worried about it at all.
My main concern is now how to get the chain out of her. Outside she is ok, trying to learn to play , but inside she hystericaly trots five steps one way, then back, and she does it for 20-30 minutes - it is really unusual for saint to trot small steps like that. it is chain thing still in her poor mind. That must be treated as far as possible.

Maybe when she starts the trotting routine try to break her stride.  Either get her to walk farther, or turn and go into another room, entice her with a yummy treat to try and break the habit.  I'm sure that in a few days that too will probably improve.  She looks like such a sweetie!!  Good luck on finding out about your pup!!

It sounds like she's really coming along nicely.  I agree with the distracting her with something when she starts pacing.  Is there anyway that you can throw treats around her for her to go find them when she starts pacing or toys.  Obviously, throwing them at her isn't good but well walk by her and drop them so she has to stop pacing and do something.  Give her a really good chew toy.  She's such a sweetie and that collie mix is adorable.
