Conformation Critique please?? - Page 2

IMO they are very nice dogs, very athletic looking, not overdone in any way. I can imagine them tending a flock 24/7. I like all of them; I think dog #1 is my favorite. Job well done!

I like both the dogs, outstanding high long withers & shoulder lay in both, very good front upper arm lengths but angle in both is steep, both have short croups, the fist one has better croup lay, the second one has better thigh and better hind angulation, both have super head proportions and planes and both could use a little more stop. Beautiful dogs I like the second one's expression and self confident look, also the pride in his eyes .

Very nice looking dogs Melba!  I'm with Euro on the hind angulation thing :)

I love the look of your male, just gorgeous!

Thank you all for your honest opinions :) Just trying to see their faults as not to become kennel blind. I love them for what they are,
working dogs.... good looks and an ok stack job is just icing on the cake.

Deuce has been training in Sch. for a few months and going very very well. Cera just started this past Saturday and did really well
IMO. Deuce is almost ready for his BH, yay.. and is ready for an AD. Cera is ready for an AD and probably not her BH in time for our
next trial. Maybe in the fall. I'll have more time to work her once we get past Nero's AKC ob trial in March and our club trial in April...
def one BH, possibly 2 and 3 ADs.. (how I'm going to convince my friends and family to help out on that one, I don't know!!)

Again, thank you all very much.
