Critique this bitch please - Page 2

I also agree with Debisue i think she has a great head and a beutiful look to her face i think with a little work you could build her rear leg muscle and that would make it harder to point out the longness of them her color looks good even in the pic so i am sure it looks great in person with a good stack i think she would look alot better i know how hard it is to get a good pic of a happy young lady i have a female who will be two in april and am waiting for her to fill out myself but had good luck this summer building muscle on her pm me and i will give you some tips hope you are well soon

Hi  Vomruiz ,

Wishing you a  good and speedy recovery , from your surgery.

My critic ofher is as follows :-

Large, medium strong bitch ,of good proportion ,Very good head and expression , but the mask needs to be darker.
Good withers , firm back with a good length and lay of croup and a good tailset
.The topline shows a dip behind the withers.Good front and hind angulation with good depth of chest.
Stands strait in front with good tight feet.
I've used all the photos to pickout the points, in order to critic your dog ,trying to be correct. I hope I did'nt make to many errors.
If you are going to show her ,you have to train to stack her properly ,where she can be shown to her advantage.
You will have to open her mouth to show her bite and that there are no missing teeth.
You will also have to move her around the ring as the judge wants to see her movement ( troting )
Hope I was of help. 

Sorry Stacy for missing your name.

Deb, I'll be just fine ;-) I should be back to work this week and my dogs cannot wait to get back to training :-)

Thanks Blair Built! It has taken awhile for her to start to fill out. She looked so weird the last few months between looking gangly and shedding her summer coat I was embarassed to ask for a critique sooner. I will certainly pm you, I'd love the advice :-)

Sonora,
Your critique was very much of help to me and  I appreciate the effort. I know it wasn't easy with the pictures I posted. It is very beneficial for me to hear these critiques. Even though my main goal for her is to train her in Schutzhund, I would like to have her conformation evaluated before a judge.
I plan on moving back to my homestate pretty soon and once we get back there I am going to take her to get her hips and elbows xrayed. I have also been looking at the "please look at these xray" threads and have been learning a lot from those too.

Let me just get all sentimental for a minute and say that as much drama that can be on this board, I'd like to thank all the folks on here who have been kind enough to offer me (and others on here) advice, suggestions and training tips, without being rude or condescending. Once again, it is appreciated!

Stacy 

Can't give a critque since I am not very good at it but she looks great and hope you recover quickly.

Denise

Stacy,
She is looking good.  Filling out since this last summer pictures you sent me.  She does need some muscle tone, but dont we all.. hehe 
I hope your recovering well and are back working your dogs soon..  I know they must miss it and be driving you crazy..

Thanks Denise ;-)

Kim, Went back to the doctor's for recheck and got the A-Okay, so back to work, YES they are driving me crazy, the poor things can't wait to get back to work. I plan on spending all day with them tomorrow so I should be exhausted for Wednesday when I go back to work. LOL

I certainly could use more muscle tone. I can't even open a pickle jar right now hehe! My dogs are going to hae fun with me

Stacy

nothing too wrong with your bitch as far as i can see apart from some conditioning and we all can be guilty of losing condition on our animals at certain times.i show german type gsds in the uk and as im now drawing near to the dreaded number of 60 yrs(actually 58 next feb)but feel older at times,find it hard to keep my bitch fit for the showring,especially the german type breed club shows.i liked Sonora,s critique of your bitch,concise band to the point.WELL DONE SONORA.your bitch is still young,she will in time fill out and mature.i wish you well and good luck for the future in the showring or schutzhund.Carole.

Thank you very much Carole :-) I also greatly appreciated Sonora's detailed critique and you too in taking the time to comment on her.
I haven't put her on the scale in several months so I'm not quite sure what she weighs. If I were to guess I would say between 65 and 68 pounds. She should weigh a bit more once I start getting her into better condition and putting muscle on her. Now that my health is good, I have no excuse, so I will post more pictures in a couple of months to compare.
And she is surprisingly strong. I had a heck of a time trying to get her into position :-) I am a small woman, just over 5' tall and about 115 pounds so she could bully me easily if she wanted to. Lucky for me she has a kind heart.
I am going to see about taking her to the club this week so my director can have a look at her. Working her by myself at home is hard when I'm not exactly sure where to start. If I can make it there this week I will write an update.
Thanks again for the kind words
Stacy
