Career Highlights:

Every morning his tail never quit wagging as he jumped up onto the grooming table to let out a full "baroo" to demonstrate his enthusiasm for being at a dog show and wanting his time in the ring again.
  • Shadow is standard size, still fit as a fiddle, sweet disposition, full of character and has proven himself to be a sensational stud dog with high achievers in his legacy.
  • Sire of 33 champions to date, half of which are Specialty winners themselves, and many of his get have, in turn, produced specialty winners most all of them breeder and/or owner handled because their quality was apparent to judges without the need of a professional handler.
