I tried doing an open-mouthed expression... for a first attempt I'm pretty happy with it!

This is Chai, he's an orange border collie who has a ton of energy and loves playing :)

EDIT: here's some photos I used as visual reference for the mouth area:

Thank you!! I was really pushing for expressive & I wanted to challenge myself, as I usually tend to do the no-mouth look lol

Thank you! Border collies are such good dogs, though I don't know if I'd be able to own one IRL! They're maybe a little too high energy for me lol, but I always wanted one as a kid <3 Doggy smiles are the best!

I love australian shepherds but I know I am way too lazy to own one in real life lol, solidarity <3 instead I collect virtual aussies, going to create an australian shepherd adopts later today. I will flood CS with aussies since I can't have one in the flesh T.T
