Quote from Critique by renowned Breed Specialist Judge, Mr. John Buckley:
"This young dog impressed me because of his exceptionally striking expression and really strong pigment, his very correct size and balanced proportions. He also displays a quality missing in so many dogs today - that is, that he is capable of 'trotting'."
