I'm glad that Barbara brought up Flair. She is one of the bitches that helped define the style and type that I like so much. Although I only saw her in pictures, her outline is what I strive for and am looking for in quality bitches. The other bitch who's type and style I love was Sel Ch Maja of Waldesruh that I mentioned a while back.
