Screw those two dislikes--he looks good. Angulation nicely balanced front to rear, no extremes; somewhat lacking in muscling in hindquarters, but should improve with conditioning and maturation. Slight flattening at withers. Strong, masculine head, and lovely feet.
He's continuing to develop nicely, Xeph.

What? How can anyone dislike that guy?
I like him. I'd like to see a bit more of a stop on his head, but I believe our friend Ibrahim would say that the angles and proportions are right. And maybe a smidge straighter pasterns, but overall I like him a lot. He'll be a stunner when he fully matures!
Is this the dog you posted on Facebook in a picture with Loch?

Dawulf, I initially thought that about the pasterns, too, but he's stacked slightly 'bridged' in all three shots; notice how much less slope there is to them in the second shot, where his front legs are closest to being perfectly perpendicular to his torso? I believe if his toes were nudged back just a tad, we'd get a truer view of the pasterns and see they're more to your liking as well.

Aye, it is :)
Hexe, he's not posting. If you draw a line from his shoulder blade down to the ground (second picture), it's straight. His pasterns are soft and should be stronger...but it's a LOT of dog being held up on those legs. He's got more bone than his pictures show, too. He's, obviously, too big, lol.
I don't really care who dislikes him. Honestly, he's not my structural cup of tea, but he has improved over the last few months.
Suggestions on improving his rear quarter? He does a TON of free running, and his thighs are hard as rocks. Bulging? No. Well muscled? I believe so.

very nice working conformation. i noticed his feet too. lots of people look at all the other stuff
first, but if you want a dog to work.......they gotta have good feet :)

Hi, Xeph. This boy is closer to what I would look for.
Good overline, satisfactory underline, correct proportions
and balance for his overall build (as you say, he sounds
a little on the large size).
Correct feet, correct hind angulation. Would prefer a little
more upper arm, which might have helped with the sl. flat
wither.
Usual caveats about not being able to check movement,
temperament, coat and dentition from photos of a dog;
but nonetheless I quite like this one.
All the best with him.

Nicely balanced appearance and quite handsome too,..I would like to see a view from the front...If folks are going to "dislike" they should at last be courteous enough to say what it is they dislike..JMO..
