I just finished a dog (Am/Can Ch Windy Acres' Sound and Fury OFA H&E) in =
the all-breed ring last weekend who fits the above description to a "t". =
I would not show him in a specialty ring as he doesn't have the angles =
that we look for there, but he is balanced and correct in motion. The =
all-rounders love him. He has played an important role in my breeding =
program as he transmits his "virtues" to his progeny. Bred to angles - =
he'll produce angles as he has them behind him. There's a lot to be said =
for "pretty". He is the sire of the RWB at this year's national - Windy =
Acres' My Oh My (14 points, both majors). No one but me has used him and =
I'm guessing that no one but me will as he's not a star in the specialty =
ring. For me, they don't have to be specialty stars - especially if they =
can produce winners in the specialty ring.
