Sloping backlines and over angulation - Page 19

For what its worth - here's my WL bitch, stacked at our most recent show in november (14 months old)

 

 

Stacked at the Sieger Show (around 6 months old)

And here she is just standing (she was younger here - probably 4-5 months?)

 

Shes gotten phenomenal show critiques, the judges even thought she was a show/work mix, but she has good movement, is agile and fast as hell, and has thus far proven to be healthy and have correct temperament and drives to do pretty much anything, even conformation.  She in my novice opinion, has correct structure for the breed.   

Very good structure, beautiful girl indeed

Love her! Gorgeous dog!

 

NO WORDS NEEDED

 

a dog has either proper angulation or has improperly angulation. Under agulated is as faulty as over depending on breed. Angulation is the relationship of the bones of a joint lined up with each other. The sloping back is from too long in length of limbs and spine. It is like a fancy gold fish with long fins and bugged out eyes. The gold fish was bred for man's need for something to look at. The carp was bred by nature to clean the bottom of the river and be eaten.

kdruffel91, what is her pedigree? She looks identical to my female. Quite scary actually.

I beg your pardon for posting again on this thread, but I had to show you what I think is a very good moderate structure of a GSD ( as Gustav says, functional structure). I wouldn't mind if he was a bit larger, maybe pasterns need to be a bit firmer !

Ibrahim- I've heard (not sure if it's true) that a larger dog will sometimes give up some agility and stamina. Yours looks nicely conditioned. Beautiful dog.

What you say is true beeker. I do not own the dog, I wish I did 

It is a dog that came to my attention recently and wanted to share with you
