I envy your memory Susie, a real gift indeed

This is his son

Nice dark sable working line dog. good head and masculine expression, good ear set. Average to good secondary sexual characteristics, I expect will man up more as he matures and be even more striking. Good topline. croop is long, but could be a bit steeper, or tailset a bit lower to finish that end with more pizzazz. Good tight feet with sufficient bone and angle in pastern to carry him well. Upper arm is well laid back, but could be longer to be more in balance with the lower arm which would allow more extension in his front while in motion. He does carry more back than excellent, in the loin area. To show at his best he will need to be a lean moving machine, any extra weight will show in excess movement in the loin area.

Thank you for the extra detail!! He is super lean almost ribby I have training pictures from yesterday that should really show his physical conditioning better. I will share today!

Windwalker, I think this "teenage" dog already looks very adult and very masculine.

Harrison, this is only a guess, but I think you stacked him out of command, without help. Might this be true?

For a good stack you should work with at least 2 people for a picture, the owner/handler in front of the dog, and the photopgrapher. Although in stack the dog should show the desire to move forward, it shouldn´t look static.
Does this make sense?

Susie, my comments included:

"good head and masculine expression, good ear set. Average to good secondary sexual characteristics, I expect will man up more as he matures and be even more striking"

that's quite complimentary to a young dog. I do believe that as he matures those characteristics will improve even more. In no manner was this meant as a negative comment.

yes he stacks on command... Here is a hand stack from today but the rear suffered lol I just cant get it 100%

Beautiful male indeed, just magnificent.

Thank you again I hope the stack is better and confirms thoughts one way or another on his front assembly.

Windwalker, I didn´t want to criticize your point of view, but I was astounded about the masculine development of this young dog. I like him
