I like a large male, and know that many of them are over the standard. I also don't object to big bitch. When judges stop doing what I do, maybe we can breed smaller males. Ben was probably the right size, I don't think Dakota and Dragonslayer were. Not that there is anything wrong with that. In my opinion. Evan L.
