  The dogs you see here are a look at the dogs and bitches whelped from 1896 to 1992. We have selected these dogs as we feel that they represent the overall type of this breed with generally the correct balance that we hope you will look for in when judging the breed. Our site is a work in progress and we will continue to add photos, from time to time.
