| November 1999 Update:
At just over
two years Artus is over 27 inches in height, weighs in at 123 pounds (pure bone and muscle) and is
being trained in obedience and early Schutzhund
by Tina Barber. At one year of age in November 1998 he was
x-rayed for his OFA preliminary and received a
rating of Good.
In his first year at stud, he has sired six litters with a
total of 35 pups. They are confident and
highly intelligent with good bone and wide, well-shaped heads.
We are extremely excited about
the quality he has contributed to our gene pool! Please read the
breed warden's comments about his pups.
