Atlas at 6 months of age... Atlas has developed into a lovely puppy with a great loyal loving temperament. He has a Strong masculine head with very large dark eyes. His earset is excellent and ear size is correct. His feat are particularly tight and up in toes.
Atlas is developing into a big dog with substantial bone. He is following the exact path of Titan (His uncle on mothers side) in his growth, weight, and general appearance. He is virtually a clone of Titan in terms of temperament and mannerisms. At this stage we believe he will be similar to Titan in weight and height at maturity - 28.5" x 50Kg |
