Big, blocky head?
 

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!

East German (DDR) lines would be my guess.

To be honest I would not consider the head on that dog to be big or blocky. Google DDR and look at those heads if you want big and blocky.

Tazor looks blocky in some pics an not in others. I dont know his bloodline though.

Yeah, more like the ones you posted. i just did a quick google search and found a picture that was closest to what I was thinking of. So, Stark is half Czech DDR, does that mean his head may get a little bigger/blockier than the general very slender shepherd muzzle? His dad's head was average sized, would that be an indication of what size his could be? Ive always kind of liked the look of the big. blockier heads. They look so strong and masuline.

I see many SL's that have a big blocky head too...it isn't always the DDR's.
What you see as a young dog will probably be what he ends up as. They don't just grow a big head after they turn a year.
My male(WG/Czech WL) has a 'masculine head' and it was apparent early on.
I'm happy it didn't turn out big & blocky!

The showlines do often have big heads, but I dont really think that they are "blocky" (not like DDR anyway) but I have seen some large heads that could pass for that of a bear!
