Max is a 4-year-old Rowdy son out of Rowdy's last litter. Max's formal name is Beachwalker's Rowdy To The Max and it appears that Max has taken the name literally. He's right at the top of the Standard at 27 inches tall and tips the scales at around 145 lbs. He actually could afford to lose 10 or 15 of those lbs. His owners have treated him VERY WELL!

He's been staying with us this week while his parents take a vacation -- a word I'm totally unfamiliar with. So, with our handler Kimm in town, I asked her to set him up for us so we can see how he looks as a potential show dog. Oh, and I also asked if she thought he could finish a Championship. These photos are for documentation more than for pure portraiture but I thought you might enjoy them

Max Stacked:



Compare that with Rowdy stacked in his last show, last December in Miami at 11 years of age.

Now, comparing a strapping 4-year-old in the prime of his life with an old man like Rowdy is a bit unfair. However, the similarities of structure and the look -- especially around the eyes -- clearly shows the family resemblance. Our hope is that Max's owners will agree to show him and to get him his clearances so that we might be able to collect him for future breedings. Max is one of Rowdy's prettiest and most structurally correct offspring and it would be nice to be able to bring that back into our line at some appropriate point in the future.

So, please enjoy Beachwalker's Rowdy To The Max. We've certainly enjoyed his stay with us. Oh, and BTW, he's just as sweet as Rowdy. OK, well almost .
