sorry evo, fox will not only check your kidneys but he will check your throat very hard and had freak strength and speed as well, did not push like a dumby, he knew how to use angles as well, trust me he was not a one dimensional hound, he was very special, and he is producing his ass off.
I've watched this post for a second now and I gotta say that one thing I noticed is that a lot of the dogs that people like have really nice rear angulation which is a big point deduction in the ADBA ring. It is a know fact that these animals work from their rear to balance and drive into the other and it the dog is too straight it will tear a ncl or most that are too straight have slipping hocks that do not allow them to push from the rear as they should be able to do. I will also say that over the last 3 or more years I've seen the bone come back into the dogs. But CA Jack you said something that many people probably missed. BALANCE is the key. I like the way this girl was built. Normally female run a tad bit longer than males but this bitch is very square and balanced.
Good morning, and yes, that is why I liked her build also: it was balanced.
I also do not like most of the "show builds" that are being pumped up right now ... as most of the conformation winners I see these days look like NON-durable dogs ... that would fall apart to a true combat dog in the trenches.
I don't like too lanky of a dog. I like good bone and a good hide also. A dog with "carpet" for skin, as it were.
Missy was the more devastating of the 3 ... Screamer was a calm, methodical WALL and dismantler ... while Jezebel was a whirlwind and acrobat.
This is the build I am partial to.
