Finley at 4 years of age

Finley at 6 years of age
Finley at 3 1/2 years of
age.
The pictures say
it all - FINLEY is truly a one in a million dog -
a culmination of all the wonderful ancestors in his pedigree.
He has good angulation, front AND rear (so rare in this
breed!), and a nice length
of neck. He is known for his
dead level topline which he retains while moving. Finley
has
the lovely reach and drive the Sanickro dogs are known for--he
literally floats around the ring. He has very good bone
and
substance, HUGE eyes, fabulous pigment, and a nice head
with the gentlest possible expression. He also has
the most wonderful temperament one could ever wish for--
--PLUS he never pees on himself!
He is consistently producing very compact, small, typey puppies
with good bone, structure and movement.
He has at least 12 AKC champions to his credit with a few
having also won majors in CKCSC.
I can't thank Gill enough for sending over this lovely boy!
Here is Finley
with two of his progeny in Stud Dog--
talk about consistency!

Finley's last
heart clearance was 17 SEPT 2005 at almost 8 years of age!
He is fully tested for hips, eyes, and patellas as well.
I had Finley MRId in 2005 in hopes of helping research.
I was fortunate in that his MRI has been graded "A".
He is still very fertile--his last couple of litters consisted
of 6 and 5 puppies.
Finley
was shown in the Bronze Veteran Sweepstakes class at the
CKCSC 50th Anniversary National Specialty. He was 8.5 years old.
He got a 2nd in his class against 7 or 8 other dogs.
Finley loved his day out and showed beautifully, moving very, very well for an
old guy!
Got loads of compliments on how wonderful he looked!
