Critique Apollo

JUN225 · 01-18-2012, 03:46 AM

I got Apollo 2 and a half years ago. His previous owner told me he was already 4 years old then so Apollo would be around 6 and a half years old now. I cannot verify the correctness of his age because he came without any papers, but I still think that he's quite handsome. He is 26" from the shoulders. I have no intentions of showing him but I am curious as to how he would be critiqued by pros like you. Thank you for spending time on him.

BTW, I really couldn't make him stack. The moment I would make him do the pose he would move. Maybe one of these days I'll ask someone to take the picture while I hold him in his place.

I know this is not an official critique but I think Apollo is amazing looking! Some dogs just have the "it" factor and I think Apollo is one of those dogs! Congrats!

I just want to say that I love him! What a very handsome boy! That's the kind of GSD I like!

First thing I noticed was how green everything is in the background and then realized that you are in the Philippines.

The photos make it hard to give a good critique. OK withers, topline and placement of croup that should be longer. It looks like he has good angulation front and rear. He has good leg under him so should be athletic. I would like to see a bit tighter foot, but they are not bad. His color is excellent. I would also like to see a bit more masculine head. His head reminds me of many of the Troll Haus Milinda dogs I have seen.

Just wanted to say he is absolutely gorgeous, thank you so much for sharing him with us. As for the critique, my opinion is everything about him looks perfect.

Thank you all so much for taking time to look at Apollo. I was really glad when he was given to me because he used to live in a building penthouse and there isn't much room really for him to run around. At least he can do that now in my place.

BTW, he is a well-mannered dog. Easy to walk around people and I have not really seen him lunge at anything or anyone. But you can see the intensity in him when he needs to go in that state.

Again, thank you all. Your opinions are always valuable.
