You have a beautiful dog, his top and underlines look perfect to me plus his extra rich pigmentation, I would use him in (Dogs that catch your eye).

Mirasmom- you should try it anyway! NO dog is perfect, and when a breeder can identify and be honest with themselves about their dogs' imperfections, that means their eyes are open to what they can improve on, and their breeding stock will get better and better. As soon as we think our dogs are perfect, we stop bettering them, blinders are a disservice!

Large expressive head, high withers, solid pasterns, dark eyes and pigment, a bit high over the loin, and a bit short in loin somewhat flat front feet,. An alltogether pleasing overall conformation... errrrrrrrr but could be darker... LOL. Yeah, he's a white, but was my last heart and soul dog. "Wizard" was quite the boy, and after 20 years I still miss him.

Medium large male of medium large strength with very good pigmentation. Good male type & expression - but his heads too small & light (girlie head I call him). Firm and dry. Good topline & underline. Normal wither, strong back with good croup - although the croup is short & a little steep. Good well balanced fore & rear angulation - but I always feel his hocks are a touch long. Good bone. Balanced gait, straight coming & going with good forereach & hind thrust.

I haven't put a measuring tape to her but she is on the small side of standard if her height meets standard. She would probably be considered long in the back? Also not much angulation on her back end? *I* personally don't find these three things faults, because she's lightening fast, amazingly agile and has all the power and grace in the world to get over the meter hurdle and the A-frame but I do believe they would be considered faults. Still when working her I'm not constantly holding my breath afraid she's going to break her bones under her own weight.
Also I suppose her ears could be a tad smaller to fit her head better but they are incredibly strong and set nicely on her head, which I feel is one of her best features no bitch snip head. I also love her pigmentation and the expression in her face and eyes. For her size, understanding she's small, I believe she has good bone, though she's not as thick or powerful as some females I've met.

What may be considered faults: maybe his croup (I'm not sure, someone would have to comment on it), the "dip" in his back behind his shoulder blades, and his over all mass (he could be a bit more filled out). At 4.5 years old, I expect him to fill out a bit more.

KCzaja,
I do try and get honest opinions of my dogs, I go to dog shows and ask the judge for a critque,
whether it be an OB show or conformation show, I also ask my vet what she likes or dislikes about my dogs and litters of pups that I bring to her, she breeds & shows Bull Terriers, but her opinion still means something to me, cause it is unbiased.
Today I picked up my dog food at the boarding kennel & brought my 5 month old pup along cause the owner is an AKC judge, and a breeder herself of English Cocker Spaniels, she is going to seminars to learn about all the breeds, so she can judge a more diverse group of dogs, kind of exciting to me, anyway, she thought my pup to be a rather large boy at 5 months, and said if anything you could go for socialization, with which I totally agree!
Although, she said his coat would be faulted cause it's kinda of long, I think it's got a shaggy look to it, and she said to clip his nails to give his feet a better appearance, and also, she thought he had a short body, so we'll have to stretch him out when we get in the ring
I am bringing Rollie to his first show, I don't expect anything as his sire is a German import, he is by no means an American Show Shepherd, but it's always fun to hear what the spectators and judges have to say about my dogs.
Here's Rollie: http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/gsd/pedigree/618248.html
Not the best stack, but we'll get there!

Check-out Theo's pic, I think he could use more angle on his butt, a deeper chest & his throat is too flabby!
(OMG.....I hope he can't hear me!!!)

I tend to be a bit critical of the extreme dogs, so I'll put a few of mine up for critique. I am picky about structure, but as far as critiquing myself, I suck at it. I sort of know what they are supposed to look like, but I can't always tell you what's wrong when they don't look like they're supposed to. So, I'll post, and then sit back and wait for the attacks on them. LOL
First, here are two pups I bred. They are just shy of 5mos old in these pics. No, they aren't stacked, and yes, my yard is pretty much hills, but you get the general idea, I hope:
Ok, and here's my oldest male, who I did not breed. I guess structurally, what I see, is he's a tad longer than I like in the body, his neck could be tighter, and overall, he's just too big (according to the standard). He's my baby, so don't be too mean, ok? LOL
