The photo from our show Apr 19th and 20th in Fond du Lac, WI. Justin's first show out and we went Reserve Winner's Dog

This past weekend we showed at my home club and we went Winner's Dog and Best of Winner's on Saturday for a point, and Winner's Dog on Sunday for a point. That puts Justin at 2 points out of 15 towards his championship (no majors)

Wish us luck this weekend!

WTG!! Good luck and have fun, he looks great (although if you could shrink the picture a bit we'd be able to see all of him :o)

Thanks ^_^

I'll admit, I'm just too lazy to resize all my pictures, since I don't have to resize for any other forums...

The first time I saw Justin's front feet I thought that they were bending in too much, I didn't relize that that's how German Shepherd's feet are supposed to look like, I thought that maybe he was double jointed,lol. I've only seen straight legged dogs. Is it the standard for GS to have front feet bend in like that?

Yes, the pasterns there in front should be at an angle of 20-22 degrees, so not straight and not weak either. In the rear, the foot closest to the camera should be stacked at perpendicular, and the foot on the outside should be tucked under, usually so the toes are in line with the dog's penis.

Yup, that's how they're supposed to be :) My other two males are the same way
