2.5 year old bitch - Page 1

Well, just shy of 2.5 years :)

Here she is at age 5 months

And a couple weeks shy of 2.5 years

another one  bytes the dust 

And that is helpful how? Critiques are about good points and bad, no one person simply being rude. If she's not to your taste, that's fine, but keep it to yourself unless you wish to be constructive.

its a beautiful bitch but i  think the animal can suffer 

from her back as many american sd do

 

If you mean her length, she is a bit too long.  Suffering?  I don't really think so...no more than my others.  But each animal ages differently.  You need to explain your position if you're going to state one.

Her back (straight) and topline have stayed nice over time.

You got her to look into the sun for that older image (It picks up the detail in her face, but makes her eyes look lighter than they are). The lighting is interesting.

I liked a picture I saw earlier taken while it was snowing. Was that her too?

Well Xeph,   I always liked her from the first picture I saw of her, to this last one. I think she is a very nice over all package. No dog is perfect therefore anyone can find fault with ANY dog.  This is one bitch I would have loved to have had back in the days when I was showing in AKC conformation shows.  I am sure many breeders and owners would agree with me. I LIKE HER ALOT..

Yes, that was her as well :) I liked the balance in that picture (in terms of how she was stacked), but she hadn't come back into full coat yet. And yes, agreed on how it makes her eyes look lighter than they are. They are very very dark. So dark, you often can't tell where her face is in pictures. The picture was taken around 6:20, while the sun was setting.

I have a very hard time understanding how shadows work, and the only thing I can ever tell for sure is when I'm shooting into the sun (which I avoid).

Here's an accurate representation of her eyes

She has matured very nicely. I like her head and her front shoulder the best. Overall a very nice female. Do you have her CH yet?
