I saw him walking around before he was ever shown with his new co-owner (so I was told). This dog is big, beautiful, & has an awesome temperment. I had a nice conversation with the young man holding him & was told a pretty neat story about the couple who own him. Also that he paid to bring"Buck" down to the National & he had only been shown once before in Washington or Oregon, but had'nt done well.The dog was sold by Sandy Anderson as a pet (which Sandy acknowledged) & the owners were happy to have himas a pet & weren't really interested in showing. My thoughts were just "if this dog can move he is possibly a Great One".I know a lot of people at the National were right with me when this dog went in the ring toe to toe with a very good moving open Male & took 1st open dog, then WD, BOW, & Select #3. He is a "Bailey son out of Sandy's Ch Rebekha.While looking through the new Red Book I went to "Bailey's" Major pointtabulation page #  111 & there he was. GSDC ofEugene 3 point major reserve, Woodsides Megabucks ("Buck"). Went to the GSDCA Webpage, clicked on archive show results,went to July 2011 & they have 2 pictures of him going reserve both days. The pics don't really do him justice, but if you want to see a handsome male check it out.  Gene Baker                                           ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2012.  All material remains the property of the original author and of GSD Communication, Inc.
