Masculine male with high withers and a good topline, though something about his croup/rear area I don't like, but can't seem to put it into words. Maybe a lack of balance. His croup is steep. Good angulation front and rear. Good firm pasterns. Would like to see a bit tighter foot. His coloring is too faded for my tastes.

I can't put it into words for you, but I know that what I don't like about it is that he really doesn't have much turn of stifle. The rear is there, but there's no curvature, which I don't care for.

Really, overall I like to think he's not bad for a BYB dog xD!

Thank you. It feels like he's lost a little rear from age 5. I much preferred his turn of stifle then
