Baloo
Critique from Margaret Brown (Ramsayville Labradors, Scotland) at Potomac 2007:
"What can I say about this dog, he quite literally gave me goose bumps when he came into the ring and I couldn’t wait to get me hands on him, he has such tremendous ring presence, I loved everything about him, very much the showman but can back this up with wonderful type, construction and for me most importantly is superbly balanced.. Outstanding from any angle, stands four square and was shown in beautiful condition, a combination of strength & masculinity, he really scores in head with such a kind expression, good length and depth of muzzle, excellent topline which he held well on the move, double coat of the correct texture and lovely otter tail, looked so well in profile and moved soundly with free driving action behind. A magnificent dog at a magnificent show"
