The best black I have seen was Sel Ch Bo Jackson. He was a gorgeous Stallion looking dog. When he gaited into the ring @ the National it was like WOW and I do not even like solid blacks. ______Louie **************************************************************************************************************** The best black dog that I have ever seen (and I knew him well) was CH Jeenellyn's UFO, CD, OFA. He was handled by our very own O & O, from start to finish and was bred and owned by Ellen and Gene Heintz. UFO was a cool dog, who even was doing Schutzund work when he was getting up there in years. Perfect, aloof temperament and could he move! A close second would be the Phantom--a solid dog with impeccable character. Love those blacks!
