Please critique - Page 2

I like this dog a lot!  What a power house!  His littermates are just as nice, lots of bone, good structure.  Wonderful litter.  Looks like they got their good looks from their dam.  His half siblings on his dam's side are nice also.  I would love a pup out of that litter. 
He is a big, powerful, well balanced dog, good color.  Maybe a little short in the forearm and little straight in the shoulder.  Good rear angulation, well sprung ribs.  Nice strong back but appears a little short in some shots but I think it's the pic not the dog.  The croup may be a bit short so tail set is a little high but not horribly so.  Nice pasterns and tight feet.  Nice deep chest and good tuck.  He has a strong neck that flows nicely into his chest and shoulders.  Good expression but a bit thick in the throat and a tad "jowly" with that big head.  Lovely ear set and well pronounced stop.  Dark eyes.  I'd watch his weight.  He isn't fat but it wouldn't take much for him to get that way.  I think his weight may be what makes him look older than he is.  He is still just a pup.  Hopefully he won't rough out as he matures.  He is gorgeous.  Love his proud bearing.   The second pic is my favorite.  Love the puppy pic on the pedigree too...obvious then he would be a big dog.

Debisue- I respect experts who knows the material they talk about.

Thanks for the analysis report.

 Very nice looking boy. Personally I think he could drop about 10lbs. Especially considering his age.

Your boy has thicker coat, better bone, but the rest , even the expression is the same. I liek the "look" of your Erri better but the resemblance is amazing!
 Enough of me flooding with pictures I just wanted you to see!

 GSDPack,

I am so happy that Erri has some of his uncle's look. His uncle has better front,  croup and tailset but I hope as he matures he will pick up on these details.

 BoCron,

Currently I feed him 300 grams of Adult Royal Canine plus 400 grams boiled chicken, I will reduce the Royal to 200 grams.

How can one tell if a dog is overweight by some pics? 

He is a very nice looking dog Ibrahim, maybe not perfect, but darn close!

I just love his head.

 Thank you for your opinions and thank you DebiSue for the detailed critique.

I still like to see more opinions and critiques no matter how hard they might be. Last week he was at the vet's for a routine check up, he measured 66 cms in height and 43 kgs in weight, vet said his daily ration is okay , muscles are good and his weight to size is fine, but as I know the leaner the better I will cut a little from his daily diet. He moves beautifully in slow gait and runs fast in galloping, he jumps on a 1.4 meters stone fence wall easily and confidently and same in the down from it. As movement is related to structure and conformation I was thinking he would score more in conformation critique, but I don't want to be owner blind so go on him please.

He is really handsome. I love his colour. A gorgeous dog.

Red Sable,

I was thinking the same thing.....I posted a pic of our solid blk boy and was told the same thing, that he was overweight.....Now to begin with, a solid black dog is very hard to critique unless you put your hands on the dog, much less from a pic....There aren't that many people with enough knowledge to critique without touching, much less from looking at a picture.   Because of their color, Sables seem to be the same as blacks.

Debi, didn't read your post before posting this, I am not directing this at you in anyway....Very thorough critique....This was a very "in general" post and not directed at anyone in particular...
