Wondering??

Can one Stud really do it all?

In regards to quality, substance, girth, coat, topline, head size, etc. Can one dog really do it all as good as or better than "Clark". I have been searching and looking at alot of the big names winning recently and right now and he seems to be the Common Denominator.
