Thank
you to each one for the great comments we have received on the article
"Retaining Stilted Gait - a different angle" as it appears
in the publication below. Your comments are particularly valued as so
many of you are considered dogdom's greats. Our highly esteemed mentors'
suggestion to draw lines on the final dog to illustrate the importance
of a square dog has been received most positively! The article is available online - find it here... The
collectors item book "The World of Chows 07/08" is well represented
by South African chowists! |
