Need some feedback? - Page 1

First of all, I'm sorry if my english is not that good...I'm from Germany.
The first picture shows her at the age of eleven months during a walk.


The second one shows her at the age of one year. Yeah...I know it's not the best stack but I'm not that experienced with it, I wanted a sports-dog, not a showdog.


The third picture is from yesterday and shows her at the age of fourteen months.


I want some honest feedback and not things like...she's longhaired, forget it...I heard that way too often. If you have nothing nice to say to longhaired GSDs, just don't say it ;)

So...have a nice day and thank you already...

Greets from Germany

I am not good at critiquing, but in my opinion she is a beautiful girl! Personally I love the long coated dogs :)  I'm sure someone on here will come forward and give you some valuable feedback. 

Thanks ;) Yeah, many people like longhaired sheps...but I know many people, who thinks they can't work and are needed to put into sleep....sadly they get discriminated not just at shows, also at the sport places here in Germany.. :( The really SV-Lovers hate her very much, because she isn't a dog from the SV.

She is now 59cm tall and weighs 27kg, if you want to know that.

I don't care for longhairs, just my personal preference.  That being said, I think she is a nicely balanced dog.  She has a nice head, good stop, nice ear set.  He head and neck flow nicely into her shoulders.  Her shoulder has a nice lay to it depending on the angle of the picture.  It may be a bit short but otherwise looks good.  She looks a bit straight in the stifle but she is not overangulated.  Nice topline & croup.  The tail set looks good.  I would like to see her set up with her front feet under her.  I think I could judge her feet better then...she seems to be standing back on her heels giving the impression that she has either weak pasterns or splayed feet and I don't think that would be a correct judgement.  She does look a little easty-westy in front.  Nice depth of chest and good tuck.  The coat looks a bit wavy and I don't know if that is considered a fault in a longhair or not...it is not desirable with a stock coat.  Overall I would say you have a very nice looking dog regardless of coat.

she looks like a nice female- enjoy her.

Your female dog looks very nice. I do like her back, hocks and coat color. Personally for me its' unusual to see a sable long coat, maybe because lots of working GSD breeders do not prefer them for whatever reason (wrong reason).
Side view of her head looks also very nice. I can imagine that her headshot would be impressive. She appears to have a nice ear set - personally I'm not a big fan of GSD's who have ears like big satellite antennas - It just doesn't loook appropriate on a GSD (IMO)
Only thing which in my personal opinion should be better is her weight....she should be 2-3 kg heavier than 27kg at 14 Months.
Overall nice female!

seeofred,
Easy on the satellite ears...we get movies we wouldn't be able to otherwise.

"....sadly they get discriminated not just at shows, also at the sport places here in Germany.. :( The really SV-Lovers hate her very much, because she isn't a dog from the SV." 

That´s nonsense....if this is true, you should think about your "friends".

I never met a person who "hated" a dog only because of some coat and lack of pedigree...maybe SV people are not interested in your dog, but HATE ?!?!? Come on!

Susie, Since the OP's first language is German she may not realize the intensity of the meaning of the word "hate" and it is true that some people are very strongly prejudiced against the long coats. 

Starr, I´m German, too...
Times changed, coats are welcomed in most clubs ( I own a coat, too...) , this OP over reacts, there are clubs at almost every corner in Germany. This dog doesn´t have SV pedigrees, the OP wanted a "sports dog" (what kind of sport?), she feels discriminated... Why doesn´t she visit another club? If she doesn´t feel well in SV, why not join DVG? There are thousands of possibilities...
The SV still is a breeding club, the dogs need SV pedigrees to compete on shows or trials on a higher level.
There are different groups within SV, some groups want to breed at first, others want to trial at first. A club with a lot of dogs might be not really interested in a dog without SV future.
And sometimes some newcomer are let´s say "difficult"...
My advice for the OP: Try it with DVG.
By the way, where did the OP go...? Would be glad to talk to him/her...
