Posh is one of those rare
individuals who inherited the
best that either parent has
to offer.  He has his Sire's  
great front end, his Dam's
great back end, and both
work together remarkably.  
He passes it on by
producing outstanding
puppies.
Posh displays what is considered the ultimate in
reach and drive.  It takes not only good angles
in front, but a strong rear structure with ideal
proportions and angles. This rear structure
requires not only "low hocks" but a long femur
which allows for maximum strength in the most
powerful propulsion muscles. Only with a long
femur can the rear leg "reach"  more under with
the necessary power to accomplish this support
and lift during the stride

Notice how far under his rear legs reach and
how his front legs respond during his floating
movement.
Posh scored a perfect 100 on his HSDAA hands on Evaluation.
While we have 16 owner handled
Championships, we have never used a
professional handler,  bought advertising in
show magazines, or Specialed a dog.  All those
three things are considered required to have a   
dog recognized enough to win big in anything
but a small show.  That's not what we are about,
but do consider it important for a breeder to
show their dogs to their Championships.

Posh's Group placement was before he had
even finished his Championship in a 3,800 dog
show.  In front of him were three "all time most
wins in their breed" dogs in the Toy Group as
were a couple of the ones that didn't get used in
that class finishing behind Posh.  It was maybe
the only time Posh was in the Group Ring under
a Working Judge. This was with Pam handling
him amongst the professional handlers.

The wins you see pictured above are for Posh
being in the ring only a few times.  Pam is now
showing our younger ones and Posh is having a
ball with Agility.
