Hello Amir,

A beautiful male German Shepherd Dog, He is bi-color with very good pigmentation, very nice coat. His color won't change much, no.

Picture does not help to make a full critique, I guess his angulation, in front and rear are set, no expected changes in future as he grows up further, so stifle turn (hind angulation) shall not increase any further.

His structure,

Nice allover structure, I would prefer more rear angulation and thus a bit of sloping back. Very nice head and earset, nice shoulder, strong pasterns and hocks, good tight feet and a strong thigh. Be proud of him, a beautiful GSD.

 

Ibrahim

This is a beautiful example of a male German Shepherd Dog, most likely from working bloodlines, showing a lovely and correct coat with rich pigmentation and markings typical of the bi-color dogs in the breed. His head, ear set and overall structure present a picture of strength and athleticism, despite the fact that he lacks the more exaggerated angulation that is popular in the conformation showrings but which in truth too often results in movement that is pretty to watch but largely inefficient for sustained work. I would fully expect this dog to be able to spend an entire day patrolling a pasture boundary or moving livestock to new grazing areas, and just as readily handle accompanying his owner on a day-long pleasure hike without any effort.

If what you were seeking was a dog that would be black with red markings, short-coupled in body length with very marked front and rear angulation and a topline that appears much like an archery bow, I would have to say that you most likely did not select a dog that springs from the bloodlines that would tend to produce such a specimen.  If you'd care to share your dog's pedigree here, we would have a better idea as to what lines are behind him.  Personally, I think he's a very lovely dog, and while I too would like to see a bit more angulation to the shoulder and the hindquarters, I frankly prefer the topline your dog has to the arched one that's been in vogue in the conformation ring. 

In short, it appears you've got a very good dog, as Ibrahim has said, and pride in him would not misplaced.
