"Red Girl" is one of four yellow females
in this litter. She weighed approximately 6 oz . at birth. She is an extremely outgoing
and sociable puppy. She comes when called and will follow one to the ends of the earth
with tail always wagging. She does exhibit an inquisitive nature and is neither timid nor
fearful of new experiences. She approaches new obstacles cautiously but with a desire to
investigate. Her attention span is good, and she enjoys being handled and cuddled.
Interacting with her littermates, I find her neither shy nor a bully. Though not an
instigator of trouble, when crossed, she is fully capable of defending herself. From a
conformational standpoint, after doing my 6-7 week evaluation of the litter, I find Red
Girl to be one of the better balanced and conformationally correct puppies. She has a
well- domed head, broad but not exaggerated, and a short muzzle, gently curved to give her
a feminine quality. She has good length of neck and a straight, correct front. Shoulders
could be a little more laid-back in this puppy. Bone and substance is good. Her topline is
a bit longer compared to her littermates , however, she has good length of leg which
compensates for this and presents her with a balanced appearance. Her rear angulation is
adequate; not as straight as some of her littermates but not as angulated as I like to
see. I expect her to reach the low end of the standard in terms of height and probably
reach a mature weight of approximately 65-70 lbs. --- P.A. Davol
