Hi JC,
      If you are happy with her ,that's all that matters,It's good you are going to work her,yes her tail could be a bit straighter but,nobody is perfect,,just have fun with her,,enjoy what you have,,

Relax the tail in the last picture and raise her head square and facing forward, she would look very nice!

She just needs to beef out, and that she'll do with age, i love the way she looks, keep working her, she'll look real perfect in about 6 months from now, please update us on her progress into adulthood

Bones in the shoulder are are nice and long. Angle could be a little better, but so could shoulders on most GSD.Maybe upper arm could be longer, looks ok in one pic and a tad short in others. High wither, back is firm and straight. rear angles acceptable. Color and pigment very nice. Croup falls off a little, length looks ok to me.

If she was in coat, she would not look so leggy. Here in the south, it is not unusual to see dogs blow coat down to almost nothing. The hook in the tail distracts some. Is there a knot that can be felt about 6 inches or so up from the tip. Feet look good.

IMHO,if her character is good, you have a nice puppy.

It wasn't a cat. Jack Russell with a chew-toy. lol

She stacks best with 3 people: me luring her, someone stacking her, and of course the photographer.

Being that it's only me, I had to improvise as best I could to get her to look forward, otherwise she kept looking back over her shoulder at me. She's very focused on me... which is good when doing obedience, but not so great when trying to get her to look elsewhere. It took a slew of pictures to even get these. There's a lot of out-takes showing the back of her head.

I'm going to try to get some vid-clips of her gaiting. It's my opinion that her color and movement are her best features.

Unfortunately while solo-stack shots are hard, solo-gaiting is dang near impossible and I'm not going to try. So someday I'll get those vids. But for now, not yet.



Yes, bottom line she's my dog and my friend. I'll take her as far as she can go in the sport, and at the end of the day I'll still have a good dog to relax on the couch with.

she has a beautiful head,  I really like the black on her face  and she seems to have very strong beautiful shaped ears.

Can't judge her coat too much,  she's just a year and went thru her first heat.  my Girls always look terrible at that age,  same with the weight. as for the tail,  I bet she just has a patch of hair at the base making it look like it is set higher.
I'd use the top photo.

I think she  just needs some maturing  and would love to see her in another 8 months.

 

Hi jc ,

First let me say ,I'd like to see this dog when she is in full coat ,
standing calmly and looking at a toy in your hand,( not in a stack ).

My opinion of her , from the photos' and taking into consideration
that she has a lot of maturing to do is as follows.

A good size ,medium  strong , black and tan , short coupled bitch of very good proportions.
Good head and expression ,with dark mask ,dark eyes and a good lower jaw.

Good withers (prefer the withers  to be a little higher ) ,
a firm back with a croup of good lay but short.
She has a hooked tail.

Good front angulations , with a short upper arm, of good lay ,
the hind angulations are very good.

Very good depth of chest, with a good underline and tuck up.
With age she needs to develope her fore chest and most important substance .

Hope to see her in full coat.
 

 

I also think she had a beautiful head! She will look like a totally different dog in a few months. She just needs to fill out is all. Most all of them go through a stage like this...

I think she has a pretty head too. My female looked horrible for awhile, short hair, leggy, thin nd ven though she did a lot of running, hardly any muscle tone... Just going through a stage. I bet before you know it, she will have a beautiful coat and will have filled out nicely.
I thought about posting a before and after of her but, decided not to. Too embarrassing. The uglies hit  my bitch bad LOL
Good Luck with her!
