Default 5 month old female - Berlin

Really looking for opinions on this girl as I had her hips/elbows done today just to see where we were at. Not the best, but there is room for improvement as she ages. He'd like to redo them at age 1 yr and thinks she may be able to pass at that age. Besides the coat, what are her strengths/weaknesses? I had wanted to show her next spring/summer but I'm not sure how well she would do. This would not be AKC showing, it would be IABCA since they don't have a problem with coats.

I think she lacks stop - she has a bit of a snipey face currently. Am I right?

Right now she looks like a VERY unbalanced puppy.

Yeah extremely awkward and full of the puppy fuglies. Probably not fair to her to assess her at this current growth period, is it?

Gorgeous color! Great job getting her into a stack also .

I think I'm with the others that with all the growth spurts/stages they go thru early on, it's hard to really comment cause stuff we see this week may disappear in a month!

I second about her color being gorgeous!
Poor little girl....(like many puppies her age)....she is going through the " everything is changing at the same time phase".
Give her time to mature a little.....then take a second looksee!!
Best wishes!
