Correct forechest and well laid back shoulders. She appealed for her overall balance, being well-ribbed with a short and square loin. Her rear angulation balances her front and she stands foursquare on round, strong feet.

List’s HAYDENGOLD MOMENT IN TIME. Mid gold puppy bitch at 8 months old. When she moved around the ring she caught my eye and fortunately she fulfilled my initial hopes when I went over her.
