I know nothing about critiquing sorry but she is lovely

Thank you Bianca. I personally don't care for extreme angulation and I love that Mia doesn't exhibit that. It's just my preference. I'm open to other's views though.

Ditto. I love her head.

What a pretty dog. Agree about not too much angulation. I think the angulated (?) dogs look like freaks. Breeders and show people should be ashamed of what they have done to the breed.

Thanks for the nice comments everyone. I love Mia's head too. It's actually my favorite physical part of her. The pictures really don't do it justice.

I don't even know what freestacking means, lol!!! I just know that I love my gsd's. You are all definitely experts on the breed and I'm learning so much here, thanks! Mia is a very good looking dog by the way.

A couple of hints. When taking pictures you want to be at the dog's level and not above them. Also exercise the dog a bit so the mouth is open. Shows off the head better.

Young slightly stretched female with good withers and OK topline though she has a slight nick (indent) behind the withers. Good placement of a rather short croup. Good angulation front and rear. Her upper arm is very straight which results in her pasterns also being rather straight. Very nice feet though she is standing east/west (splayed) in the photo. She looks correct behind. Overall this is a nicely balanced female that is pleasing to the eye.
