Toplines - Page 11

now this is an example of a good topline.

good maybee but far away from very good or perfect

sorry

the female above has a pretty good topline. i would say she is about 9 months old. a very promising girl. she has very good bones and has a very good size. she comes under the large category. be careful with her she will be a very nice female! have you shown? i would like to know what lines she comes from?

PRESTON,   that is my girl Fury, she is a little under a year old in that pictures & yes, she has grown out of alot of her "shortcommings"                          LUCY, i dont mind you posting her, im very proud of her & to me shes perfect ! lol                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

I like Venzosmom's girl :)

I dont know if it is so much a roach as it's a crooked spine...like the spine is bent...either way I tend not to like it.  And it is there...while they may not show it standing stacked the bend appears in the stack....but it doesnt in other dogs...its there.

You know how we have to bend over to test for a bent back (I am sorry...i dont mean to offend, but I cant for the life of me think of the right term...I think it's sclerosis) in grade school?  Wellll...I kind of think of that stack as the bend over for the straight back test.

And quite frankly...for the showlines I have seen in person, most of them just have the bend, stacked or not.  Their butt just kind of disapears into thin air.  There are addmitedly alot of showline dogs I have seen that I liked, but for the most part I like to see dogs with toplines like Venzosmom's.

Venusmom, almost GSDs go through stages of development.  Many go steep in the croup and come out of it over time.  Sounds like you are very pleased with her development.

Jekl8, nice website.  I like Harras and I like the look of Jazz too.  The puppies also look very nice in confirmation. Congratulations for having such nice looking GSDs.

What do you think of his top line?
I have been told that he has the top line of the dogs from years ago, and IMO that is a good thing!
