Im not sure what catergory to post this in, sorry if it's in the wrong one. I'm just curious about shepherds with 'big, blocky heads' as I dont know how else to put it. Ive seen pictures of them, but Ive never seen one in person and I'm wondering if it's a certain line that produces this feature? Or is it just how some shepherds fill out? I'll attach a picture so you can see exactly what I'm talking about. Thanks guys!
Boy... Javir.... those are those dogs that have everything you can ask for! And kudos not only to the dog itself, but to the breeders/owners for taking them there.
Its not necessarily the blocky look that I like, but the savage look. I like a head that looks very primitive. Here is a dog that I like;http://www.policedogs.us/Brix1.jpg
But to me, this is what a correct looking head looks like; Jerry-von-der-Hube

And he isn't that big. 87# right now and 64 cm (25.5 inches). He just looks huge because he is big boned and thick through the neck and shoulders. Though he feels like he is a monster dog when he bumps into me.
Can someone post pictures of working lines bitches heads? My girl's head, she is eleven months, is handsome I think. She has a little looseness of the lips at the back of her lower jaw and she has a slight bump on the top of her snout. Its not tight and pointy like ASLs I have seen. I see a lot of male dogs in this thread, but what about the females?
My camera is broken right now. I will put a picture of Inga on here asap
I remember reading or hearing somewhere that that slight bump on the snout is reflective of a certain line. Maybe West german or was it east german. I can't remember exactly.
My bitch has a very strong head for a female, some dislike it, but I personally like it and still find her to be distinctly female. It fits her temperament.
I also think the "big blocky head" appearance has to do with how wide set apart the ears are but the stop and forehead also. The head above the stop is genuinely more square.
Now don't freak out but more of a Rottie head but less square.
