She appreciated his strong frame and correctness & that he was "packing lots of fleece with impressive staple, even character and fineness" Ascent took another blue! He bested a big class at Empire where Judge Timmerman said "I was impressed by all aspects of this boy, he is put together very well, perfect form, proportions are correct, substance of bone, bite, a stunning male with stunning fleece carrying softness, brightness, excellent crimp and excellent length of staple, very even fleece characteristics across the body." Ascent was awarded a blue at VT. He was in VERY close consideration for the reserve championship.
