How Is the stack - Page 1

Hey Everyone,

Im working on my stacking abilities, what are your thoughts what can I improve, also what about my female how does she look.

I like her structure, a lot! Her upper arm could be a little longer, and her hind end would look better if her right leg were just a tad less stretched. The hock should be vertical, and the left leg should be further forward, with the foot positioned where a male dog's sheath would be. She'd also look better with her tail not tucked beside her left leg, and without that ugly old rope in the way! (Yeah, I know, getting a good stack is HARD, especially when they're young and constantly fidgeting!)

One last thing: try to get her exactly at a right angle to the camera next time Her front end is slanted slightly away, which makes her chest look smaller, and her rear look bigger.

What's her pedigree?

I like her head and expression, ears, excellent proportions, short back, good feet.  The thing that is very outstanding is her excellent withers coupled to a correct straight, short back, hard to find anymore. She appears to have straight front and rear leg bones (no cowhocks and probably correct coming at you). 

The rest is personal taste.  Like I would like to see a bit wider thigh, croup a little longer and flatter, a shorter lower thigh bone, a bit better color and better coat (maybe just out of coat).  These are minor things not necessarily related to producing quality. Her overall type is similar to what Palme Widsteigerland's type was.  Sometimes this type of bitch can produce very masculine, excellent male type dogs if bred to a male with a fair degree of quanto in his background.

If the bitch has clean joints, moves well from the side, excellent lab results, and good temperament, she may be able to produce well if bred properly, that is bred to an excellent male with very dark and superb pigment, correct angles, short back who is a known producer of the qualities she needs and can produce too. Overall, I like the bitch, not as a show prospect but as a potential producer of correct males with masculine type.  Her wither and back are very nice as is her head.  She will pose better with her tail if you practice a lot with her and get her out a lot in a noisy environment.

Okay, I found her pedigree by clicking on your username, and looking at recent posts! http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/gsd/pedigree/480324.html

I'm not surprised to find she's linebred on Ursus/Yasko. I have an Ursus granddaughter, and your bitch looks quite a bit like mine. I've been told poor pigment is often a problem with Urusus females, but it goes away when bred to the right stud.

And yes, Preston, there's a lot of 'von Widsteigerland' blood in there too, including Palme and Uran! Looks like a really dynamite pedigree!

And...oops! That 'ugly rope' is actually a crack in the pavement!   Guess I'd better get my eyes checked!

Wow thanks everyone for your feedback I love it. I love the comparison to palme. Well I have two males that I want to breed her to. I will email you privately their names and you tell me what you think. She has 'a1' normal hips with a ZW of 81. Here is a link to her pedigree: http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/gsd/pedigree/480324.html And actually sunsilver she is very cowhocked, thats one thing that I really don't like, so I have to find a male who is very clean in the rear. She has a great disposition and she is a joy to own. As far as her coat, I wish she had darker red and less sabling. She however has dark eyes black nails and leather. She just needs richer black and red. She is heavily linebred on Ursus blood so I need to find a male who is either Hill Farbenspiel lines with good pigment or Pakros lines. Preston i will email you privately who Im considering breeding her to.

Thanks yall
