I'm going to reply to some private emails on the list. Why am I such a fan of Calvin and now Woodside's The Bounty Hunter? Simple. They can, and do, win in both rings, Specialty and All Breed. Calvin, somewhere around 15 Best in Shows and son Hunter just won a group lst. Beauty combined with CORRECTNESS. No hock action which is now a major fault in our breed today. Where did true (clean) coming and going...go? When did faults of motion not become a major fault? When did dogs standing with their rear hocks touching and feet pointed outward become ok? Dallas, and now his sons Bailey and brother Calvin are giving us good stuff; pretty and correct. Mystique was a bitch that had it all and here come some dogs that have it all. This is so exciting for OUR BREED. Some people dislike me, some people dislike my judging, some people dislike what I think or say, but don't ever doubt by devotion and adoration of our breed and total commitment to it. When I see something going in the right direction, I will shout it from the highest roof top, or visa versa.
