Default Nika & Cabo - working lines

Would love critique on her and the stack (I know the back leg is stretched out a bit too far, but anything else please add). She's going to be a schutzhund dog so conformation isn't a big deal for me, but I'm trying to learn more about conformation.

And the little guy... I would eventually like to get his show rating, but it will be a while. Of course his main job will be schutzhund, too.

I don't like to critique puppies, but he is stacked very nicely. Very stretched young male with ok withers and a croup that is a bit short and steep. Very good angulation front and rear. Very nice feet. He appears to be toeing out a bit on the left fore. He shows a good red/brown undercoat so I am guessing he will have very good color when he matures. Hard to see his head well at this angle. How old was he in the photo?

A stretched female with OK withers and topline. The photo is a bit dark for me, but she appears to have good placement of a correct croup. Good angulation front and back. I would like to see a tighter foot. Good color and nice head. Next time have her head in a slight more natural position so she isn't rocking back to crank her head and neck up.

Thank you so much for the critique. It is nice to have someone say what each dog's good and bad points are. Makes it much easier to learn.

The male was 10 weeks, I believe, in that photo, and the female was right at a year I think. She had a very wavy coat then, for some reason (not so much now), so I'm sure that makes it hard to tell what her topline is like. I'm hoping to get new photos of them stacked sometime soon.
