I remember seeing a pic last year, and mentally, it looked like an aging mediocre AB dog, w/ functional parts, but not something I would drool over. I wasn't aware of Ms. Shaw's comments until I went to her web site this AM. Speaking of aging (beautifully!) and drooling in the same sentence, I did drool this summer seeing Miles in veterans. It's a good day when you go to a dog show and get goose bumps!
