Welcome to
shorthairs.net
So I am a GSP "beginner" but am hoping to get a good dog. Here's pictures of all those I'm looking at:
Puppie #1:
#2:
#3:
#4:
#5:
#6:
I know #5 and #6 are 8 weeks, not sure how old #1-4 are. Obviously we will "test" their personalities, watch them move, etc. and our other dog will have a big say in who comes home. But looking at the photos... Who would you take home? Conformation critique? Thanks for your help!!!
i like the looks of pup #2
I think that pic #3 and #4 are the same picture....
That being said, pup 2 would be my choice as well.
I would like to see the show side of #3/#4 before deciding. I like to watch where the patches are placed as they can sometimes give a good illusion (example is my boy Ringo has a patch on both sides that makes his chest look even better than it is) or a bad illusion (example is a patch right in the middle of the topline that makes the dog look sway back, or at least a funny topline). I think the color looks good on all of them.
I actually like the stack best on 3/4, the other two are stretched out a bit. They also look a little long in the body, but that could be the angle. Number 3/4 also looks like a little heavier boned which I like. Can't tell much about the heads on any of them.
I guess if I were picking just from the picture I would go with 3/4. I like the patches on 1, but I don't like the placement of the patches on the back or behind the chest. Still liking 3/4 the more I look.
That said, I would want to see the pedigree and meet the pups and mom and dad if possible.
Are you planning on showing your pup? If not, then pick the one you like best.
