Laurie, Charlotte Clem McGowan was the one who judged at Coyote hills a couple of years back and discovered Ch. Woodside's the Bounty Hunter in the classes and carried him to the Breed over 4-5 specials (including mine) that weekend . She carried him on to a very competitive Herding Group I and said she loved his balance, type and suspension. I will be honest, I haven't always agreed with her in terriers (we once got into an argument about wheaten trims) but she was "spot on" in Shepherds that day. She permitted double handl.... Oops she called it "performance enhancing".. <g> and did a great job. I told her and she hugged my neck and stated she has been really watching and studying the breed. She asked the right questions. She also said that this was not an easy breed to learn and its taken her a while to get there. I will give her an entry!
