Linden @ 5 mos (King Shep)

Miller · 10-09-2010, 01:54 AM

Can you tell me what you think? her hind legs are still slightly cow-hocked, but her PennHip x-rays were in the 30th percentile. (good) She's just turned 20 wks old, and is 52 lbs. I really watch how much I feed her, she was growing very fast for the first 4 months. Now I am glad she has slowed right down. Dogs her size need to grow slooooowly!

(Edited to add - her coat is easily 2 inches long or more. She looks fat but really it's mostly just her pouffy hair!)

I don't know if there is an actual standard for king shepherds since its not a real breed so I can't critique anything structurally.

I'm glad her hips are good! She has a very sweet happy face

I bet she's nice to cuddle with

Oh my gosh, look how poofy! Reminds me of Manny on Ice Age, "I'm not fat. I have poofy fur!" She'd be great to cuddle up with on a cold night!

she's a very cute fuzzy girl

At this point I wouldn't worry to much about her cow hocks, all puppies go thru gangly awkward stages..

Wow she is gorgeous!

She's beautiful! Can't really worry about their structure for a year of so cause they have spurts and grow differently.

As Agnes from Despicable Me would say.... "SHE'S SO FLUFFY, I'M GONNA DIE!"

Does she still have her milk teeth at 20 weeks? I think I see them in the pics...

She's a very cute girl indeed.

she only has one baby tooth left, her left upper canine. The rest are adult teeth that have just erupted this week.
