More European gentle style greatness

We will rate this one a minus five, because they are adults, and one was actually taken off of a pedestal/place and used the arena space to move from back to front for the bounce.

I think minus 5 is harsh for this guy. Though the cats don't do anything, they all move pretty good, and look healthy. The bounce looked odd to me, but haven't seen a whole lot of them.Seems like he kept the lion at the front of the arena fighting/playing him along time.

Casey,
I was fair given the condition of the animals. But that has nothing to do with training. We'll make a "Jr. Zookeeper" category for that standard, and stepping off a seat onto a pedestal, or walking 3 steps to another pedestal is not moving by any stretch.
The bounce was a good bounce, and depending on the individual personality's some you vier off, and some you keep with you "fighting". Martin Lacey Jr. has a nice bouncing lioness, and Dicky Chipperfield used to have some good ones.
