As GSD exhibitors at Crufts we have to take the rough with the smooth. This year we had an excellent judge (Ross' breeder) and great stewards. Winning must be a double-edged sword, as I've said before everyone thinks they have a right to an opinion on our breed. I thought the BOB winner was correctly constructed, glamorous and sound, I'd go as far as to say, one of the best examples of the breed that I've seen in years, I honestly can not think of many better in all my years of showing. I only wish that someday I'm blessed to have something of this quality in one of my litters. Huge congratulations to her British breeder and her French owners, Eliisa is quite special.
