The only thing that I found different with Steve’s grading was that size matters and the larger the better. Unlike NAFA where a pup over a certain size grades the same as a big adult, he has different prices for different sizes of the same grade (ie. XXL, L, LM, M, S).
Oh, and damaged faces (ie head shot) and missing tails matter.
I guess that’s what his buyer wants.
This is good to know when deciding what pelts to sell to him and what ones to send to auction.
