Conformation wise: If you had to decide between a dog with good angulation but longer in the body, or a dog poorer angulation but shorter coupled, what would you decide, if the dog would be destined for the show ring and working field.

Not a show person but a field person. Is the dog balanced, front and rear? I would have to pick good angulation.

I tend to agree with pixie. If you are talking about the three girls you are thinking about, none of them are too long (one is a bit longer than the other two from the pictures, but still not a problem). Also it is still too early to make a call. Eight weeks is the ideal time to look and make a decision.

Personally I would take a well angled dog in the front and rear (assuming it is balanced). I personally think that a little bit longer back is easier to fix than a dog with angles that aren't as nice. If you posted pics of the girls stacked I missed them and would love to see them! :0)
