Critique of Danka - Page 1

May I suggest you take a better photo, with the dog's rear camera side leg back a little more with the hock perpendicular to the ground, the dog's front feet both toeing an imaginary line and the handler wearing light colored clothing so that the dog shows up in the photo.

Yes you can Sam.Thank you for your input.I had posted a picture of Zena on another thread.I thought this was much better.I am trying.Thats all that counts.I am thankful to the response of honesty as well when I posted Zena's picture.Just curious..What are your thoughts on this female?

Bare with me.Im trying to figure this out and learn.

Hi Rainhaus,

Hope this helps.

I agree with Sam1427 and for a proper critique ,the sex,age and height would be of help.I can only critique what i can see in the photo against  the standard .The photo should be taken ,with the handler and side of dog facing the sun and the       cameraman's back to the sun.This would give a clearer picture.

Above medium to large,medium strong,black/tan bitch of good proportions.                                                                                        Very good feminine head and expression with very good ear placement .High withers , good back with a slighty short and steep croup.Good front angulations,where the upper arm should be of better lay.The hind angulations, I'm assuming is good (based on the proportional length of bones in the hind leg and not the position it is in the photo.).The depth of chest is good with a good underline. The front are strait with good feet.

Overall she's a very good dog if the mouth and temperament is correct.

What exactly is it you are asking for Rainhaus?  You want a psuedo breed survey cursury eval of your dog's confornation?  You want an opinion of whether she would pass an SV breed survey for structre at the KK1 level?  You want to know if she would be competitive in the american akc/gasdca specialty or all breed show ring.  Of course, any eval here would be cursory based on her apparent physical structure as disclosed in the two photos you included.  Also, of course to give any evaluation of her movement, a fairly long video clip of her walking, standing, and moving from the front, back and side would be needed and for temperament some video on her bitework.  Why do you want this info?  Are you trying to decide whether to breed her or show her?  There is no substitute for inspection by a very experineced, honest, ethical breeder, handler or breed warden, that is for sure.  I suggest you consider hat if you really want to know if she has any FCI/SV zuchtschau future. 

State what you want here and I'll give you my opinion to the degree possible based on the photo info you have provided.

Thank you. Which one is German? What would be the guess?
