Time for puppy critique- opinions welcome - Page 3

Ember is hell on wheels with a heart of gold...like Capri;-)

Eliot is SWEET, Ibrahim. He may be the sweetest, most precious pup I've ever known. Playful and happy, mischievous, not dominant w/his siblings, minds his own business but stands his ground. He would make a wonderful family dog, as he's sooo much more laid back than anything I've ever produced. He is a lot of fun, too. He likes to run off and hide in my house and wait for me to find him, then he's all excited when I do. He also likes to climb in the dryer when I do laundry, just for fun. He's interesting because he's sooo calm and sweet, yet very very confident. It seems that many very quiet pups are also timid- not in Eliot's case at all. His pics do not show how happy he is. 

Then I am correct about him, he looks special really, I am waiting to see some more pictures of him. As a matter of fact each one of them has something special of his/her own, if in future I can produce such a wonderful, healthy litter I would be so happy . 

Eliot & Ember


Eliot, 8-9 wks

Ibrahim, I will have to take some pics of Eliot. Honestly, he sits down every time I go to take his picture, and just looks at me, like "What can I do for you?" He is not usually in the middle of all the chaos, like Ember, Ehren, and Eris.  Those 3 are monsters; the rest are varied.  I will see if I can get my son to help me with Eliot tonight. I'll take some pics of him in the house if I can. 

I think Eliot is my favorite....but they are all so beautiful.....****sigh****!!! Can't critique them.....I'm already in love....lol!!!!

Think we need current side pics of Ewan, Eirick, and Eliot.  
Eris does have a very good structure...
 

Yes, Susie. I agree. I think Eris is nicer than "typical" WL. She looks very much like her mother at the same age (I raised her mother til 6mos.) but her croup is a tad nicer than Aria's at the same age. Croups TEND to improve with age, though this breeding is uncharted territory to me, so time will tell. Her movement is so pretty; when she prances around the yard, she floats!  Ehren is very typical "Capri" type pup, looking JUST like a b&t version of Dylan, the last pup I kept from Capri's last litter. 

Eirick is too important to have his picture taken...just ask him. LOL

Ewan is a doll- he's usually at my feet, playing with my boots and wagging his tail like crazy, so hard to photograph. 

Ely is really nice, structually, I think, heavy in bone, gorgeous deep red, but then we have that head................LOL. When he relaxes, you can barely see his "part" but he always has his ears up (well, not up, but you know what I mean) when outside playing, so it looks really obvious still. It's a big wrinkle, not just a sparse patch. It's almost like he has too much skin on his head and it raises up in the middle. It's weird. He's a great puppy regardless. I don't mind hanging onto him until I figure out what's going on with him. 

Jackie, if you lived closer, I'd bring Eliot over- you'd melt!!

I melt when I see their pictures! jackie harris

During the time of waiting for Mr. Eliot's pictures, for fun, I decided to critique the litter based on what I heard and saw, lol:

German Shepherd litter of good number, varying colors and patterns, very good temperaments, varying drives, very good health, strong bones and heads, varying front and rear angulation but good as a whole, very good pasterns and hocks, rich pigment as a whole, some have light eye, some have dark eye, very good fronts (straight fore legs), good expressions that vary from sweet to "don't mess with me", good proportions, what else?! Did I miss anything?! 

Also good tight feet, .....................
Some names are confusing and do not indicate puppy sex 
Forgot to mention that litter combines beauty of show and value of work
