Blocky really isn't correct anyway. The head is supposed to be wedge shaped, not square

Quote:
"Seen from the front the forehead is only moderately arched, and the skull slopes into the long, wedge-shaped muzzle without abrupt stop. The muzzle is long and strong, and its topline is parallel to the topline of the skull. " As I see it the "blocky" look refers more to a strong jaw seen from the front. I like the strong heads of the DDR dogs and I like the more lupine expression of Czech and german workingline without special preference. Some west German showlines have heads to die for (and if they have a dark mask, it makes me drool) but some are a bit too "round?" with something that reminds me a Newfoundland, that I don't like. |

I guess 'blocky' isnt the right word. Maybe a better description would be a thicker muzzle which kind of makes their muzzle look shorter and their head looks a little more square than what I am used to. Anyways, I think it is a very masculine look. Anybody have pictures of their puppies who have this look? Say at about 3 months and like 8 months? Just curious how prominent that look is when they are young... I think it's safe to say Stark will not have that look to his head but he still looks masculine.

The first sable dog was a WG Show line -
My WGWL male has a pretty big, blocky head ..... here is HIS sire - and Csabre's sire too.....  Xito v d Maineiche....all West German  the "Ghost"  - son of Xito - also all WG Csabre - daughter of Xito - WGR x DDR She gets alot of 'wow!' s - and even observers checking for the 'equipment' - size substance and presence - but still feminine - esp when you looked at her littermate Cito... Cito v Wolfstraum, Sch2, CGC   Great heads are not restricted to any one type - just harder to find this style in WGWL - Personally I love this look! Lee
