Bodo v Lierberg managed to finish his American championship, and also got his ROM. Asslan v Klammle was a very beautiful dog. Unfortunately he could not seem to reproduce himself, and produced a very tough temperament which did not suit American breeders. He, too was an American Champion. He did not complete his ROM, though he did produce three champions. I saw this dog at the National, and he was, indeed, very beautiful.
