Good notes about the sloping backlines...that seems to be an AKC confirmation thing....you will notice, as many of you have, that the working dogs have level back lines....likewise the usual cream color with black saddle seen on confirmation dogs is pretty rare in working dogs. Since they are selected and bred for work, color etc. is not a consideration.....which is why you see alot of working dogs in black or sable...

I'd still like to abscond with some of the dogs Ive seen on this thread! grin
