Critiques Please.. - Page 1

Hello all, here is a pic of Daisy. I would appreciate any input. How is the stack? Thanks.

Hi,

Picture is best taken level with dog's topline. Picture angle is ok.

Black and tan female of medium size, good proportions, good head and neck, very good topline, normal withers, good length and position of croup, good tail and tailset. Good hind angulation, good hocks and feet. Nice underline. slightly short front upper arm, shoulder lay could be better, slightly soft pasterns and flat front feet. Allover a nice looking female.

Black and tan female of medium size, good proportions, strong head yet still feminine, withers could be higher, slightly steep croup which could be longer, good tail and tailset. Good hocks and feet. Nice underline.  Short forearm,  slightly soft pasterns and flat front feet.

 

Thanks for the responses Ibrahim and SitasMom. I will remember the picture height in the future. When you say good underline, what specifically are you looking for? What would be an example of a poor underline? Thanks again.

Ditto what Ibrahim said and I'll add that she has a beautiful thick double coat compared to a lot of females. She's very pretty.

A correct underline is moderately tucked up and is of good length. A too tucked up underline or too short  one is incorrect. Good underline means good under chest length/room for lungs. A correct underline also adds to balance and stability in movement. I do not see your dog has the best beautiful underline, but I do see a GOOD/not faulty underline. Mybe Blitzen or Sitasmom can add to what a correct underline should look like.

I like her she is very pretty;  I can tell she is young.  Would like to see a little richer color but can't have it all.  Overall the stack could be better for evaluation, good length of neck slightly shorter shoulder layback.  feet look somewhat splayed in pic but I think that is due to her standing on rough surface with gravel; she is a  little shorter coupled (which I prefer) but can affect that flawless flowing gate;  but strength can come somewhat from a strong topline and a longer back sometimes gives the impression of a weaker back which I do not like;  so her length of back in my opinion is good for working dogs.  You could have her stack a little further back, front feet under her a little more and would change her topline a bit.  Tuckup or underline is OK for her age as I see her in this pic.  Again another pic she could be stretched a bit more but this is adequate for evaluation.  Would love to see video's rather than stacked pic's;  front, sidegate and rear movement.  The dog in motion in otherwards and if you could see her in a natural gate that also helps you to critique yourself.  Best off luck with her she is pretty girl.  Nan

Hi, 

Ibrahim gives the best cretique and Nans has commented on the stack. She is write about getting the front feet a littlte in (a little under her body) also rear needs to be a little more stretched to give a better impression of the overall structure. I See a beautiful female with correct head proprotions and very moderate rear angulation (Which I like and now hard to find in WGSL). IMO the croup the is a little short and a liitle more angel can help same goes for the front upper arm. Overall a very good substantial female and can present a better picture not just with the stack but if she is more alert and keeps her head high... Enjoy her. Realy like her.

Thank you for all the responses. It is appreciated.

Hi,

The stack is fine, but the dog needs to be animated. this will improve the topline .                                                                                                                                                                          (Please get someone to attrack the dog.)

Looks above medium to large bitch, medium strong, of very good propotions and very good type.

She has a strong ,feminine head, very good reach of neck, a level backline, with a very good lay ,but short croup.

(She should be animated to show the withers, if she has it, and improve on the top line..

She has very good front angulations, with a very good lay and length of upper arm. And very good hind angulations.

Good fore chest and underline.

She stands strait in front.( Her right front leg needs to be slighty repositioned.)
