Panda is very much like her dam, Melana's Obsession v Clihu, ROM, with Eden's beautiful breed type and style but with the touch more topline, angulation, and rear drive I was hoping to acheive with the breeding to Scoop.  They are identical in gentle personality, rich coloring and even the markings all the way down to that cute white chest splash.   Panda is totally correct in size and proportions with rich pigement, a short, iron back; plush coat, nice feet and pasterns. She has a well coordinated, balanced sidegait with powerful rear drive, strong ligamentation, and clean on both ends.  Panda had Best Puppy, 2nd SW Intermediate Futurity and specialty major reserves to her credit when we decided to breed her while campaigning her litter brother   Ch. Melana's Murphy's Law OFA H/E.  After her maternal duties, Panda returned to the show ring with a bang handled by  Jamie Clute, finishing her Championship within 2 months only shown   4 weekends, including a Best of Breed from the class over multiple specials.

Panda has clearly inherited and is surpassing her ROM dam's excellent producing ability with 2 Champions and 2 ROM qualifiers earning her Register of Merit Title at 5 years of age.   Her progeny sired by BIM Ch. Greenwood's Achilles have gorgeous breed type, beautiful structure; excellent secondary characteristics, exciting motion, and wonderful personalities.  The first litter produced multiple Best Puppy, 2nd 9-12 GSDCA National, GL Amatuer BEST IN FUTURITY, Amateur Futurity Victor Champion Melana's Orion; major pointed (from 12-18) and MA BEST IN FUTURITY Melana-Greenwood's Maya.   The repeat produced multiple BEST PUPPY, 2nd 12-18 GSDCA National, 2 MAJOR Reserves from puppy class, major pointed Melana's Shakira ;and Champion Melana's Porter!  All four won majors from the puppy classes!!
