Show line dog movement

AbbyK9 · 01-28-2009, 09:13 PM

I thought it would be neat for this thread to go along with the one on working line dogs, for comparison purposes?

Here's the working line thread
http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum...e=1#Post926162

Here's my German showline girl, stacked. Please ignore the poofy hair on her croup, it looks kinda weird. She'd just gotten groomed.

One from last spring, free stacked.

And here she is gaiting when we were doing herding. We've had to stop herding because she has arthritis / DJD in her hips.

Abby sure is a pretty girl!!!

GORGEOUS transmission, lovely reach, looks like a nice firm back, too. Abby really is a stunning girl, and what an all-around GSD needs to be, since she really is a "take anywhere" kinda dog.

There dogs with working titles out the wazoo who cannot handle going to Colonial William'sburg without freaking.. and she just takes things in stride. She really has rich pigment, too. Nice chunky feet! Abby always looks so calm and confident! GREAT motion shots of her, Chris! (yeah, guess you can tell I am an Abby fan!)

I love Abby's gaiting photos!

My show line boy, so far....

puppy stacks

I really liked this one except his head is turned in (he was licking peanut butter)

gaiting (this is really the only one, may take one tomorrow since we're doing ring training)

his massive head!

A natural free stack at 2 years old.

At the Canadian Sieger Show with SV Judge Ernst Seifert.

At a GSDCC Ontario Regional Specialty Shows with AKC Judge Dan Smith.

A former board member sent me them, I cut out all the legs & chair for a better view of his top-line.

And a coming for fun at 3 years old.

I'm surprised to see so many posts in the workingline thread and not many in the German or American showline threads. I'm sure other people have showline dogs?

Nikon is very handsome. I'll be interested to see what his coloring looks like when he's done growing. He looks very dark red.

Deejay is just gorgeous. I absolutely adore his ears. ^^

Awwww..... thank you so much, Patti. ^^ It's amazing what $25 can get you at county animal control, the proverbial nasty county kill shelter.

Everyone so far moves GREAT! How a GSD should move. I love the first movement photo of Abby with the sheep and I can't wait to see Nikon physically mature. He's going to be awesome.

Chris, Patti's right- it is so wonderful that Abby can be taken everywhere. I'm very impressed.

Thanks! So far he looks a lot like his father, who has a massive head, very rich color, and dark mask. Markus is also a very type-y dog so most people here probably won't like him

Thanks Chris

Yes, he has Perfect ears (size & shape) & his eyes also!!!
One of the best headsets you will ever see!
Now his look is that of dogs from like 20 years ago, and IMO that is a good thing!

I will admit that WG showlines generally aren't my cup of tea, but I really like the looks of Deejay. He is VERY handsome.
