Nothing??

Not much happens here Fri night or Sat  they will come relax

All I can say is Wow!

He looks like a power house!

Nicely filled out at such a young age.

He should get an SG (Very Good) I really like the staked

photo second one down, I can't find any fault with him,

Good luck and have fun be prepared to run, run, run!!! 

Hard to tell from pictures - angle of photo makes all the difference can make a dog look too short or too long. Always make sure you are on ground level with the dog and aim straight on for the shoulder.

What I see in these photos which might well be different from a hands on - Long in back and long in loin. First picture croup looks adequate but in others slightly short and tail set slightly high. Appears to be slightly east west in front - slight amount is ok and some would say desired. Stacked picture suggests this appearance may come from incorrect hand stacking of the front legs. Did you hand set him or have him walk into a stack? Would have to see him moving but shoulder appears steep and overbuilt suggesting he would be short in front. That combined with length of loin and back would suggest dog may be lacking in suspension and a balanced gait.

I have no clue how he may be rated. Saw a picture of a working dog bitch that was given a V and all I can say the judge must have had a few drinks first. The flip side is I have seen gorgeous working lines often only given a G when they appeared to deserve a V. Of course teeth height etc can also play a role in the rating. While the SV appears to have set an edit that judges are too be more "considerate" with working dog ratings the reality is the vast majority will gain a G or SG rating.

Beautiful length of neck; nicely balanced for his age, beautiful pigment, if I may critique the stack; put his front feet slightly under his chest more; in top photo he is slightly "A-framed" which makes him look slightly off balance otherwise a very handsome boy; would love to see a video of him in motion and would love to see him again at full maturity--maybe 3 years old. Otherwise good luck with him... Nan

Thanks guys for such detailed critiques. I do realise his l front legs are slightly out but didn't think it really effected him as much considering most pictures of dogs stacked are wrong someway or another lol!!! Especially in the fronts.. Thanks again

14 months. 65.7cm male. A large, sable slightly elongated (1st pic) dog who should stand a little more correct in front. Very good strong head and expression, eye a bit light, good strong neck, very good high long withers, firm straight back, well angled croup of good length, upperarm can be better laid and a little longer, good fore and under chest development, good pasterns, very good hindquarter angulation.
Hocks look firm and feet look tight. Allover a beautiful male type, head, withers and masculinity stand out.

Thanks again everyone !!! I will be doing a show rating and Possibly breed Survey in October and BH in May!!

Is this the missing dog from January? What happened?
