Ch Helmic's Cassandra OFA

Critiques:

GSDC of West Kentucky---December 10th, 2000---Winners Bitch & Best of Breed

"Cassandra was the star of the day. I had judged this bitch in the Pacific Northwest and was impressed with her. However she did not perform on that day due to a recently discovered ear infection, and came away with a reserve. Well, today there was no ear infection, and perform she did. It was a pleasure to see this bitch as she, to me, is reminiscent of some of the fine bitches we saw 15 years ago. She therefore exhibited some qualities we may have lost in our breed

Cassandra has wonderful bone and substance (the kind that generally produced our stallion males in the past) while being distinctly feminine. She has a strong head, well placed ears that are thick, strong and erect. Oval, dark eyes with lovely expression complete the picture. Her neck is of proper length and ends in a good wither point which gradually slopes to a short, strong back. Her coupling is ideal with a short strong loin. Her length to height is in complete balance. Her stride is low, strong, and ground covering. She moves like the "well-oiled machine" we all strive for."

-Nancy B. Harper

GSDC of Louisiana---February 18th, 2002---Winners Bitch

"A very lovely feminine bitch. She never misses a step and extends well in front and follows through in the rear. Her topline is flawless on a loose leash. With short hocks, nice broad curvy stifles she is a total package. Good temperament."
