Expert Opinion Req on German Shepherd. - Page 1

Please give your openion on GSD Female, What are the good n Baad in it.

Love her for the love of owning a GSD. She has a lovely expression and is probably a lovely girl.

But thats really where it stops. Her structure showing in the last 2 pics is nothing you should show or consider for breeding. Her hind looks ok, but her front assembly is completely off. For some reason her chest is not developing like it should. Together with the long shoulder blade and the upper arm her elbows are very open.  Her belly looks like she is either pregnant, is full of worms or just had a way too large meal.

Thanks Elkoor But she is only 17 month old ,please advice how i groom her for show and breeding. Yah she was mate 7 days ago.

you mated her and she's only a puppy?

 

She's already bred?  at only 17 months old?  You didn't do your dog any favors by breeding her so young before she reached full physical maturity.  The pregnancy will likely stunt her and prevent her from reaching what would have been her full potential. 

Her chest is narrow and shallow, her front assembly is not good and it is too far forward.  The rest of her looks fine, she does have a very nice head and expression.  But her front end doesn't flow with the rest of her.

If this dog was in North America, the UK or Europe it would not place well in any show, but it's my understanding that India does not have the same quality yet so it's possible she may do ok in Indian shows---I have no idea.  But IMO, structure-wise, she is not show or breed worthy.   The front assembly and chest are some of the hardest things to correct in breeding, she will likely pass these things on to her progeny. 

After reviewing the pics on my iPad it looks like her chest is deeper than I originally thought. Apparently there is a lighter hair streak that gives the optical illusion that the chest is an entire hand whit away from the elbows. Could you maybe post a few better pics done at at eye level and closer to her? Her front is still off though. Sad that you already mated her. This will likely hold her back in her development as well as showing. It takes a few months to get a bitch back in shape after a litter. As for grooming for a show....good balanced nutrition is first, then of course brushing every other day with a rake or slicker brush. Stay away from "fursavers". If you got those two things down, show training is a must. Conditioning and learning how to gait. For some reason the buttons for formatting are missing using the iPad and safari. Back to a regular computer.

Ok, here is a pic of my girl at 17mo old. She has by no means a perfect structure. But I think you can see where the chest compared to the elbows should be, even in a young dog. The shoulder assembly is difficult to see here as her color pattern makes the upper arm look straight up. The yellow patch is actual where her arm is going, meeting the shoulder blade where you can see that little dipp (looks almost like the dipp in a heart) Also see how her belly looks like; its not all "round". When stacked the underline should be pretty much straight. Your girl has been bred only a week ago, you shouldnt see anything for a while even if she took. If I would see a round belly like that in my girl, I would be worried about her bloating.
