Pups are 11 weeks old as of Thursday. I've enjoyed keeping them extra long. Here are a few pics- see if you can get an idea of structure. I'd like some feedback, positive or negative. This breeding is new to me, so some things are unfamiliar. There are a few who are very much like Capri's typical puppies (see if you all think the same as I do!) but there are others who are a foreign "type" to me. Comments appreciated.

Over all I think this litter has very good structure, IMO (you know I'm no expert, but have observed lots of GSD puppies). Take with a grain of salt. LOL
Pic 1) Lovely expression! Looks intelligent and thoughtful. Excellent bone -- not too heavy or overdone, but looks very solid. Nice feet.
Pic 2) Again, nice expression. Great color, looks a bit lighter in bone than puppy 1, but not weak. I can't get really specific about porportions, but I like this look. The angulation of the hind legs is not extreme, but looks ok. The feet are a bit less compact than pup 1.
Pic 3) First thing I notice is that very domey-looking forehead. Could be just fluffy pup fur, but it makes the forehead look very much too bulbous. Nice color and looks like nice structure, I like the forechest.
Pic 4) My first thought was looks like a female...not sure if that's right or not. If so, she has a feminine look without looking weak. She looks to be standing east-west slightly, but, you know, puppies do that even if they have the most correct legs. Her forehead looks domey too but not as much as pup 3. Again, could be fur or just immaturity. This puppy looks nice and compact, and her agulation looks ok to me.
Pic 5) Gorgeous puppy!! Love the coat, and expression. LOVE the earset on this puppy, feet look good.
Pic 6) Again, I like the earset and expression is very nice! He's got a nice wide chest, and makes his shoulders look well developed.
Last pic... just very pretty pups. And the blue eyes look hipnotic. Pup on the right looks espectially wide set with good developed chest width.

Thanks for playing.
Pic 2 & 5 are the same pup.
Are we "off" on pic numbers?

Eliot,
Strong head and bones, good face expression, light eye. Very good feet and toes.
Ehren, very good conformation, shows good angulations both front and rear, very good fore chest development, front upper arm looks very good. good croup but maybe slightly short, very good pasterns and hocks. Strong bones, normal head. His conformation looks closer to a show line. Rich pigment and dark colors, dark mask, right ear looks like it was torn a bit at the tip.

I like them all! Hate critiquing puppies (at 8 weeks, maybe, but after that....not until much, much later lol). They all look healthy, active, well fed, nice bone, great coats. Nobody looks faulty, runty, wormy, etc.

Eris is nice but her structure is typical of work line.

Hey Jenni,
Thanks for sharing the pic's , 1st of all their all Beatiful in their own way ! what I like about the litter is great variation/pigmentation
+ great coat density . Its obvious these guys are very Healthy. I like photo # 5 the best the Black & Tan/ Sometimes by keeping them a bit longer you
can really see a difference In Drives and Temperment. The Ear/ Heads also look great and I think you have great Confirmation in the works, obviously
it will be a while until we see them shine their Fullest. Congrats Jenni and keep up the good work ( hey Jenni what state are you in ??)
I must admit I have come up with my own new term "Garrison GSD's" Since I believe what
Paul and I like sometimes people have a hard time wrapping their Head / Hands around ( in more ways then one LoL) . I absoultly love them and
I too Believe thats what I'm looking for in a GSD , I don't know Paul Garrison or what state he lives in But Thats the type of GSD I crave!! I have one that
I could never part with , I believe their rarely seen today and its been washed out for many decades now. I know every once in a Blue moon you raise one or two,
But I must admit until you have one and can be responsible enough to own/control one their Nothing like it!

Ps: Oh.............jenni also almost forgot the feet and bone structure look real solid
these pups have very consistent paws.... 2 high fives on the paws!!!

Ember structure is typical os show line trend, roached back and level withers. He is typical of showline, his pigment and color are both breath taking, big boy with strong bones. Nice blocky face. He lacks in front angulation and fore chest development.
by Jenni78 on 01 February 2014 - 22:02
Ibrahim, you lost me. You first said Eris and Ember are typical of "work line," then you say Ember is "typical of show line trend with a roached back and low withers." BTW, Ember is a girl. ;-)

Jenni -- Not a mix up on numbers but just me not aware they were the same pup. When I "critique" maybe I should observe more, eh? LOL
On another note I'd lke someone to say something about the foreheads on two of the pups. I noticed it because that was one negative critique of my own puppy and since then I've paid more attention to it to see if I could start spotting it. Slooooowwwwly I'm learning.
