Ralees winddancer does not have a site, but i have a still photo of him on my webpages, and as ROM stated she saw a perfect moving newf, so have i, and i also will not back down on my opinion of how wonderful dancer has reach and drive that is SO lacking in the newf of today, the newf of today trends are awful, oversized heads, weighing down cheeks, causing sagging eyes, overdone coats, newfs that sure look pretty standing but to watch them move i cringe, and they are the ones taking home the points.
newfs that are so weak in the rear they drag their back paws, and they are also winning in the ring.
studying movement from a mentor who is well studied can be something educational as much as the tape mentioned above, i have dancer, as the newf i strive to keep alive in the breeding program of today.
there are some lines i steer clear of for personal reasons, you wont see them in my newfs, but.....
i wont go on an open forum and critisize them, that is not good, use tact when trying to compare kennels or dogs
it is hard when you are on the net to truly put across the point you want to make without tone of voice or body language all it is is words and the meaning of the words can be mistaken.
of course there is not a perfect dog out there, but the movement on dancer is as close to perfect as it can be, he has minor faults that can be corrected, his head is sufficient but could be a tad bigger, but oh wow can he strut, even now at 10 years of age.
