  • 2008 RRCUS Nat'l Specialty ~ Res. Winners Dog  (Mr. Jon R. Cole)  
    "12-18 month puppy dog class was won by Paradigm's Red
    Talisman. This was a very competitive class with good quality and
    depth. Talisman was a nice size and length. He carried his top line
    well standing or moving. He moved out very well. The neck to
    shoulders was clean and flowing. Headpiece was solid with a good
    expression. Talisman was a contender for Winners Dog later in the
    day. I was pleased to award him Reserve Winners Dog."  (see picture
