I've heard that too Sarah. I just personally don't like that long backed look. I prefer the short and cobby, but that's personal preference. Yes, a longer body could potentially be a better brood.

I'm a novice as well but I like her.  I don't mind the longer bodied gals as like what was mentioned...makes carrying pups easier on them. (I perfer shorter bodies but a bit longer doesn't bug me much either) She does have long hocks for my taste but then again she may be in that odd stage. She could use more neck but Lulu was the same at that age & seemed to grow one so she may too who knows? Her tail looks ok to me--maybe a hair low? I think the curl pic may be her wagging? Definitely would be easier to see her in person but all & all she's not a bad looking pup. I can see you getting her too.  LOL @ her breeders attempt to stack! That was me with Mari's boys--I had not a clue!!!  **just wanted to add to really watch her move & check her bite. That would be two of the things that I'd really check on.... |

I'm gonna be really honest I think she is lovely to look at BUT dads angulation is really bad and he walks quite stiff - he is v straight in the leg. Her angulation doesn't look v good it's better than dads but I would be worried that she may end up moving badly? They need the angulation to drive from the rear.
Idk go and have a look it's v hard to say from pics and vids but don't get her if u think their Is a problem you want her to be really sound

I was worried about her tail setting too it seems a bit off... I'll see how she moves when I go and see her, shes too bouncy to tell from the video lol x

Yes her tail set is wrong and her topline is off.
Straight legs can indicate knee problems I believe. If that's the case move on look elsewhere. Do youdeffo want a girl?

Yep, I've been looking for a black and tan bitch for 2 years and still haven't found a nice one! I'll see how she moves in person do you think she could improve with age? |
