Thanks, and I don't know how to stack, this is obedience class, not show training which we've never done. On his 4 month birthday I entered him in a sanction match I had no idea of how to show and he didn't either, he took group and all except him and 2 others were excused for Best in Match and a malamute won and the judge said if mine was more mature he'd have won. I love him no matter what
This stack was during practice going from sits to stand. My daughter just snapped the pic. He came from Hellwigg kennels. We are in Ontario. He also has the best temperment and personality so I am very pleased with him. I had Belgian Tervs and Groens before and decided to adopt an older shepherd a year ago and fell in love with her and the breed and went here cause I liked what I saw and heard.
That's a really nice puppy in a really awkward growth stage for critiquing ;-)
But he has beautiful proportions, and a nice topline, head and bone. At this age, his hocks will be long (the rest of him will grow into that), his pasterns somewhat soft and lengthly (they'll tighten up) and his long bones shorter than they will be once he's past this growth stage. Post a picture of this puppy when he's 7 or 8 months old, and I bet he's going to be a lovely dog when he's 3. Congrats!
Thank you everyone for your comments. We are going to the Canadian National specialty just to watch, he's too young, and hopefully I will get some pics of him really stacked not just walked into by himself as this is. It could be the pics look the same, better or worse but he will be almost a month older and with people who know how to stack. I will post them and let you know any comments I get, if any.
I've added a new picture at 1 month older, stacked by the breeder, any comparisons to point out so I could see differences? Lighter background in new picture
