Also look good to me, nice in fact. Keep the dog lean though and not toooo much exercise off leash.

how can a dog live a happy life if its always on a leash?

I totally agree with Nans GSD on the exercise idea. 
Out of 16 pups we produced here with a remarkable pedigree, the one pup that was over fed and over jumped during his first year, is the only one with "fair" hips. (All are now 2 and 3) I really believe now that pampering the pups with sports like swimming, or basic obedience was the way to go while their bones are still forming! That is my 7 month old pup on the stairs to the right, another lab pup center, and my Senior, Xaver vom Kammberg on the left........if this isn't fun! Trish

What nans gsd was refering was to NOT to let the pup do to much strenuous exercise while it is still young. Like jumping and running too hard. That could do damage to the elbows or hips. The joints need to harden before hard exercise is done.

very nice xrays

Yes, sorry I should have explained a little better; not too much running, NO jumping, no jogging off leash, just quiet and steady easy exercise while still growing.
It's critical to development of those joints and cartlidge; definitely watch weight and keep lean, my favorite,favorite vet of all time felt that a very large percentage of dysplasia was environmental; through the years I have learned that this is pretty true.
But no one told me until later in my dog years so had to learn the hard way. Am trying to save someone else from possibly going through the same thing, especially when you can control certain things in their environement.

Swimming is excellent low impact exercise for dogs.
