I took a picture 23 years ago of a friend's 6 week old male puppy resting quite
comfortably in a green Tupperware bowl. There is such a look of confidence on
that puppy's face...that unmistakeable "look of eagles". He never went on to
be a great show dog of any sort, but that look he had in that picture is what
it is all about in this breed. If anyone would like to see it, email me
privately.
