you have finally narrowed your pick to winners dog down to three dogs.. All of the dogs were the same size,color type,and had wonderful sidegaits.. Here are the faults of the dogs: Dog #1 has a roached back, Dog #2 has dragging toes and floppy years, Dog #3 has a bad back. Who would your winners dog be? ****************************************************************************** ******************************** This is Winners????? boy, cant wait to hear what the other dogs looked like........<G> For the sake of argument.......I wouldn't consider a dog with dragging toes as one with "wonderful sidegait"....but that could be just me......a bad back??? what is that....a sagging back, a dipped back....either will distract from the total picture of this dog, ......a roached back? how roached? Floppy ears? Are they erect? If this is the best this show has to offer the judge will do the breed a favor by withholding ribbons. As a judge you say the winners dog/bitch is Champion material..... maybe not at this show. Ileana **************One site has it all.
