Re: westminster
Val has handled for me at several events and always does a great job. I am so happy to see her win. CJ is a great dog and they make a great team. I wouldn't worry about GSP'S getting any more popular, they are already a dime in a dozen so its nice to see one shine.

Wolves breed to other K-9's quite frequently actually. I don't see any surprise since they are closely related.

Fitting a gun involves more than just L.O.P. It involves making the gun shoot where you point it which could also involve "bending" the stock so that your eye is in alignment with the barrels. Its hard to beat a properly fitted 686.
