WL female at 22 months UPDATE - Page 2

Yes Ramage, much better, a nice stack, there has been no improvement to shoulder angle, but there is improvement to shoulder blade placement and valuable improvement to withers.
I can say she is super in all ASPECTS except, she needs slightly more angulation to rear & more angulation to shoulder. Her front straightness is awsome. Very beautiful lady.

What a difference several months make! :) She's very pretty.  What's her temperament like?

You know she can come live here next time you get sick of her. ;)

I like her rear angles and her topline. Her length of upper arm is slightly short and slightly steep, but the shoulder layback is very nice.

Thanks Ibrahim :-) I wasn't expecting improvment in most of those areas, so the improvement she has made makes me very happy.,

Also, thanks to everyone else for the extremely kind comments. 


Harrison, you might have seen her for sale briefly. I changed my mind, though, and decided to keep her. Here is her pedigree.

Educanine, she is sociable and sweet, but she is also balls to the wall. We didn't start bitework until 15 months of age, but she took to it like a fish in water. We've had some baggage to overcome as far as obedience, but she has made leaps and bounds and I'm overall very pleased with her progress. Also, a little bit of a civil side has shown up in the past 2 months. I was worried she wouldn't ever develop that side to her, but she has :-)

Ramage, she sounds like a fun dog  I recently started my 13 month old in IPO and am very pleased with his bitework. Though by some standards he's a late starter he's surprised me in the qualities of his drives and confidence he is showing.

what are your plans for her?

Very nice female. She has really matured in 6 months. Now that her coat has come in she looks alot better. I like her rich red sable color.

Is it just the lighting, or did her coat and face lighten up?

Did you decide to keep her?

Very nice!

Yes, I decided to keep her. She has been up for sale twice now and pulled off the market within days. Of course, the more I work her, the less I want to sell her.

It's the lighting on her coat, to a certain extent. Sometimes she looks much darker than she is and sometimes much lighter. These pics were taken today and you can see how much darker she looks. In reality, she is a happy medium between the pics from today and the stacked photos.

Educanine - although my background is in IPO, I've decided to do PSA with her. We recently moved and we're now with a fantastic PSA group. 





This pic is from last week.

 

Really great looking red sable  love her structure and you have made a wise choice to hang on to her.

for now anyway...Females do mature and get that defensive drive going and that is what you looked for so now see if she is confident with it and can be solid and calm after the work..good luck...she is a beauty
