Not your typical showline structure? - Page 1

I dont know anything about conformation...especially in showlines but I thought this dog stood out. This male doesnt seem to have your typical structure of all the other showline dogs...but I think he looks much better. Maybe its just the way he is stacked...I dont know.

Straight back.... Very high withers.... Very Sloping topline.... on a naturally stacked male...  He is supposed to do that since I noticed  the sire got VA in the US nationals. Aint it supposed to be like that.???... Say, you stack him like how Germans do it... He may exhibit a break in the topline...  He was STACKED like that because.... HE IS SHORT...

the folks who are fans of cello, like the showdogs that have working ability, may want to look at this dog.  for a showdog, he has a decent pedigree......cello on top and bottom.   JMHO

Looks like he just stepped out of pre-Martin history with that top-line, but I liked that look. Still do but don't expect to find it at the front of the lineup at a Sieger show anymore.

  3,3 on any dog is a little too close for my own comfort, especially Ursus as he is present at least once, close up, in so many pedigrees today. That seriously narrows his field for potential breeding partners, (for me, anyway) especially. (you can't raise the dead, no matter how close you linebreed on them ;)
