A number of dogs come to mind, but several stand out.  Leroy Brown  clearly 
was one of the most beautiful males you could ever want to see,   but for 
me the dog who most exemplified the concept of "Ring Presence" was  Charlie.  
You may remember him as Wellsprings Ironsides.  Lamar showed  him and he 
was absolutely stunning.  Black and red with a slightly close  ear set.  Not 
the greatest mover that ever lived, but he commanded the ring  like few then 
or since.  Beautiful dog.  He was a show dog.  
 
To be fair, Ch Lakesides Gilligans Island was also a dog who commanded your 
 attention in the ring.  And he appealed to all rounders as well as 
Shepherd  enthusiasts.  He was a bit lighter than I would like, but a great  
ambassador of our breed to the all breed folks who watched him.  Wonderful  
temperament.  Top winning dog of his time.
