GSDC of America --- November 2008 --- Open Dog

"There were two different types of dogs in the smaller Open class, but the quality was very good. The first and the third were mature, deep bodies, lower stationed dogs and the second and the fourth placement were firmer and dryer. My first place one was the "one" because his type is lovely and he was an extreme, balanced, sound, fluid mover. He was a bit on the heavy side and I'd like to see richer tan pigmentation with a bit more black. He occasionally lifted in front when he was moving too fast. Nonetheless, a beautifully put together male."
