Critiques/opinions are welcome by Ibrahim on 19 May 2012 - 17:36 |
| Please ctitique Miro for me, he's now 14 months old, here's his pedigree: http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/german_shepherd_dog/dog.html?id=723697 I couldn't get him in proper stack even after I used the leash, sorry for that.       |

Here's one with better hock placement but the ground is sloping in his favor, in reality his back is slightly sloping not as he appears in this picture Here's a head picture  And here's a front picture  |

| can you bring an 3rd person to your photo shoot? you can get much better photos if owner/handler is a few feet infront of the dog keeping his interest. also the person with the camera should held about 18" above the ground. if possible, place the hind legs just about farther back, but while keeping the front legs parallel to the ground. I love this dog's front half: snout, eyes, ears, mask and headpiece, shoulder is very nice, withers too. He could be a bit "pinched" in the front. I cannot tell about his back half because his legs are so bunched up under him. You're so much better giving critiques then I. |

| Ibrahim,, I am not knowlegable enough to give a critque, but I will give you my opinion based on what I see for what it is worth...:) I think your male has a very attractive mask, a pleasant expression, and a nice earset..Looking at his back feet he appears to have nice tight toes and strong thick bones..I like that! He looks like he has a deep chest..Not sure what the proper wording is for that. I really like the head shot picture you posted he is very handsome.Judging from the head shot he loks like his color is nice as well...I think a different stack would give a better example of his structure...:) Deanna...:) |

| Gorgeous head on him! |

| I love his expression and head. Very nice topline, good croup, I like his angulation as well. I like him very much. He gives a confident impression. |

Very nice head and expression with correct ear set. He looks to be a large very masculine dog with a good fore quarters, deep chest that should not get any deeper, good length of upper arm. He is correct with in front with good length and strength of running bones. Looks very mature for his age. |

| Ibrahim, A handsome boy you have and he is big for a 14 months old. How tall is he? cheers, JoFay |
joyride by Ibrahim on 23 May 2012 - 05:09 |
| He is currently 64 cms high, I like his size, I had one male who was only 60 cms high, so Miro is a correct size unless he gets taller which is not very likely after 14 months. Ibrahim |

Hi Ibrahim, My comments on him are as follows. He comes from some very good bloodlines. He's above medium size, medium strong dog of slighty long proportions. He has very good head and expression, with correct dark eyes, ear set and head planes. I'd prefer a slighty longer neck,has good withers , a firm back which shows a slight rise and a good croup. He has very good front angulation, with good length and lay of upper arm with good length of fore leg. He is over angulated in the hinds. ( take a look at his mother's hind angulation.) He has good depth of chest and good fore chest . Stands strait in front and has good pasterns and feet. I'd prefer a better spring of ribs, I'm guessing it will come with age. It would be very nice to see him again , when he is about 3 yrs. and in full coat. |

| He is a lovely dog. Very nice head on him, good earset, nice dark eyes, very expressive. Nice size for his age, well-matured. Good forechest and topline. I like him alot! |

| Thank you CMills and Sonora, He has a good temperament, I see no serious faults in him, only thing is I personally don't like white on toes and or light nail, he does have white hairs on all toes and two very light nails, I am afraid if he will be bred he will pass it to his offspring !!. At the time I bought him I made it clear to the breeder that dark feet color is important to me and was assured he had very dark feet but was disappointed when I first saw his feet after receiving him, also I never received his registration papers, after all the communications with the breeder I got frustrated and stopped. I don't see her posting here anymore, if I do see a post from her I will make sure that her dishonesty shall be disclosed to other members here. But still he's a very nice and beautiful boy and that makes me have an internal conflict; I appreciate her breeding such a nice boy but can't swallow her dishonesty  and her getting away with it shamelessly and me being fooled again  , but I as a buyer am doing better and better, but could be too late as Miro most probably is the last one  Ibrahim |

| Beautiful dog - I don't have enough experience to critique but I like him. What is he looking at? I wondered if he was a bit scared as his tail is tucked right under on some of the pics. |
Runag by CMills on 15 July 2012 - 23:12 |
| Unfortunately you are correct Ibriham, he very well will pass his white toemarks and light nails to his progeny. I've had it happen to me, it's genetic. But he sure is good looking! |

| Runag, I have another male dog "Orwell" who was pissed off why we were being too nice to Miro and ignoring him, guess Miro noticed how Orwell felt  |

| Hi Ibrahim, My critique wuold be as follows : Above medium size ,medium strong dog ,which should have better proportions. Very good head and expression, with correct planes of the head. I prefer slighty higher withers,he has a strong back with a slight rise, and a good croup. showing a good clean topline. Very good front angulations,with good length and very good lay of the upper arm. The hind angulations are a bit deep. Has a good depth of chest, the forechest could be better. Has a good length of foreleg and stands strait in front. Ibrahim, this dog in movement, should have very good forereach and lack power in the hindquarters (drive ). I may be wrong here,could you please clarify this for me. Thank you |

| Wouldn't fret too much about the lighter nails - as they get older they often lose some pigment anyway. When Taz was 18 months, all his nails were black as black; now he's going on for 10 years, most of them are lighter, & various shades of brown; even one with a white stripe down it ! L. |

| Very nice looking boy Ibrahim, and if white on his toes is his biggest issue, I say "praise the Lord". |
