*** Do you reckon she is improving or not *** - Page 1

Hi guys

my 1st post was when my girl was 6 months

i then posted pics again of her when she was 9 months
http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/forum.read?mnr=758636-updated-dated-pics--9-month-old-gsd-showline

she is now 13 months and was wondering what you guys think of her now. Do you see an improvement regarding shape , croup, upper arm,
angulation etc as i dont have an "eye" for the technical jargon, lol


 

Waleed, she looks good, but would look even better with a proper stack. In that top photo, her front legs are stretched out too far, and so are her hind legs. She needs to have the one hind leg (in this case, the right) stretched out with the hock vertical, and the other hind leg underneath her body, with the foot about where a male dog's genitals would be.

Here's VA1 Yasko v. Farbenspeil in a correct stack:

thanks Sunsilver. will give that a try.

 

Very pretty.

Hi Waleed,

Having in mind how she looked at 6 months: she is still very pretty but frankly speaking she did not develop as anticipated at front end, her front upper arm is now slightly short, needs a bit more angle and a bit more of fore chest development. Her expression is still pretty, head & earset look very nice, withers is still level. That rise at mid of her back is still there, croup is very good, hind angulation is correct, hocks, pasterns and feet look very good.
In short she is very beautiful but her front angulation does not match her hind angulation in quality and magnitude, otherwise all is good. Her size looks below medium, her muscle toning could be better. It will be very interesting to see how she looks at 18 months. Good luck with her, a pretty young girl.

Hi Ibrahim

can you please indicate by means of a diagram or something on my bitch what you mean by " her front angulation does not match her hind angulation in quality and magnitude" it will be mcuh appreciated
can the "rise" in her back be because the way she is stacked. in the 2nd pick that rise/roach seems not to be there?

I will do the first part of your request regarding angulations
Second part regarding the rise at mid of back I leave to others to answer, I have no idea whether it is the stack or not.

hello Waleed
IMO a very beautiful feminish felame, Id be referring to the second question you asked (in the 2nd pick that rise/roach seems not to be there?). its there but its not seen because of the angle of the picture. As its been taken from the top (Airiel) angle thats why it cant be seen. Muscle devolpement and a better stack will give a much better look. Good luck with her.
Khalid.
