I'm starting this thread to balance out the one on extreme dogs. I've been criticized in the past for keeping a file of 'ugly dogs'. Well, I ALSO have a file of dogs I like, and it's MUCH larger than the other one. The dogs in it aren't necessarily all-time greats, though the majority of them are well-know. It may just be that SOMETHING about them caught my eye. I am attracted to dogs that have good bone, nice, straight toplines with good withers, and harmonious overall proportions (length of back to height ratio) I think this is why a dog like Manhattan catches my eye, even though his overall conformation had its flaws:



Here are a couple of other examples:

Dallas (Kismet's Sight for Sore Eyes) had the most GORGEOUS head!



Lartus v. Kirschental is a VERY handsome showline. A wee bit heavy for my tastes, but a real eyecatcher, nonetheless.



Two VERY nice looking working line dogs, Bandit v. Wolfsheim, and Eliot v. Prevent:






A beautiful, effortless-looking trot from SG Sirko Von Der Jahnhohe:



Finally, my favourite Canadian dog. He is currently the top rated dog in Canada.  When I see dogs like this, I start to have some hope for the North American GSD... Here's Brown-Hill Kysarah's Maricio



So, go ahead, post YOUR favourite dogs!  I have just two requests: we're focussing on looks here, so please don't post a pic and say 'I like this dog because he's a fabulous working dog.'  

Second, PLEASE keep the pictures around 400 pixels, so the thread isn't too slow to load!  The editor will offer you the chance to resize the picture before you post. If it doesn't go back and edit, click on the picture, and select 'properties', then resize the width to 400 pixels or less.

Thank you!  I'm looking forward to seeing other people's favourite dogs!

Eliot v. Prevent is one of my favourite wokring dogs. He has a conformation structure which is amazing and brings hope to the GSD, for combining beauty with work

I like dogs like Vegas du haut mansard. He has good structure, and is not exxagerated in anyway

Personally,
In "todays" dogs.......my Top List include........
German Dogs
Shicco von der Freiheit Westerholt
Negus vom Holtkamper See
Zerxis vom Osterberger-Land
Ustinov vom Romerland
Ilbo vom Holtkamper See
Hillson
I also love Elliot v. Prevent......a couple other working line dogs I can't remember names of hand......gotta go look.

American Bred Dogs (German Bloodlines)
Danny vom Wilhendorf
Teejay vom Wilhendorf
I don't know enough about American Show Lines to comment, what is correct for their "standard"....

I also really like the dogs that Chris (Silbersee) is producing.....Onyx is on my list too!
I guess my list is actually kinda long.......so I know that I will forget names.....
The above dogs are being mentioned because of "conformation & structure",...not for any other reasons....I have only met a couple in "person".

I love Paska Salztalblick myself!  As well as Ellex and Branko!

Laxfield's Vinnie the Viper is also a favorite, and I too loved Hatter.  Wish I'd been alive to see him in person :)

I love the looks of Quanto Jipo-me, he  is so male like in his structure.

Ibraim, could you please go back and press 'enter' in between each ofh those pictures, so they're lined up underneath each other, and not stretching the page? Thank  you!

Who are these dogs, and what do you like about them?

Looks like 2 more pictures of Jip-me, and one of a puppy.


by Ibrahim on 28 October 2009 - 22:10

I had to remove one of the pics. I like his chest, head, expression and topline, also the pigmentation.
All the pics are of Quanto, that is his picture when he was a puppy.

by crhuerta on 28 October 2009 - 22:10

I absolutely will agree......Quanto is a handsome dog, he can "catch my eye".
