Rumo at 18 months--thoughts? - Page 2

 AWESOME BOY, I agree with all above, Beautiful mask on this one. Well if you want critiques. Looks like he may be ever so slightly heavy. But thats only from first 2 pics.But I'm not sure without knowing weight. You have a great looking Shepherd!

Shameless BUMP

 A very nicely constructed dog.

Possibly, just possibly a little straight in the shoulder for my taste.

Also, I agree with the previous post that he may be a little heavy. (I don't agree with the European half-starved look but he looks a little soft).

I'd love to own him, excellent head, expression and topline. Is that a little hook on the tail, or just the pictures?

I particularly like the head and the unexaggerated hind angulation, superb.

My male is here....

So you can see why I like your dog's type. Proper dog!

It's weird that you guys are commenting that he looks heavy, it may be the pictures or the lighting but everyone always comments that he looks too skinny in person!!

You can see all of his ribs when he's running which I always thought was a bad sign but he definitely isn't hungry because he'll sometimes turn down food. So who knows!

Thanks for all the comments so far everyone!!

Danny, I wonder if the straightness of shoulder isn't helped by the 'leaning back' of the stack with the front legs not vertical - something that would help help tuck the elbows back.

As regards the weight I'm wondering if is just an optical illusion caused by just a tinsy little bit of a barrel chest, the (splendid) colour and the lightness of bone in the front legs.

Great expression mind.

Enjoy you dog,

 He has grown into a beautiful male, I especially like his topline, the lighter color round his eyes gives him added beaughty to his mask. He is well balanced and not exagerated in any way. Maybe the middle and rear parts are his best, very good hocks too, I would love such hocks on my dog. It is obvious you're taking very good care of him, should the need arise he will do the same. Lovely boy.
