She looks great and very impressive muscles on that girl! I’ve been working on Peppers development, like you said striving for it.The discussion in Let's Run! thread prompted me to share these screenshots of my dog taking off on a send out. I'll get the video on YouTube later so you can see what we were doing, but I have to say Asha has the kind of muscle and power in her rear end that is what should be strived for in this breed.

She has beautiful definition in her muscling! I think jumping and hill work when hiking really contributes!
Wow!!! 40!!! Made me laugh too that’s intense!
Seriously? He looks perfect to me.
That’s what I think/thought. There’s been 3 occasions now where Doberman handlers (a pro and two owners) have told me he “could gain a pound or two”. He looks more “rib-y” when you view him from behind than he does from the side, so I wonder if they just think he needs more rib coverage? His build can make him look heavier than he is, so any extra weight just makes him look a little chubby lol.

He looks fantastic!I don’t know if you can really tell from these pictures, but Remy has some big ole thighs.Definitely the most substance out of dogs we show against. View attachment 159856
(Show people told me he was too thin here)
View attachment 159857 View attachment 159858These were all a few months ago so he probably looks even better now.
That's the way it is with Elroy too but I guess it does make sense when they're related. I will keep him right were he is now since he looks good to me and we know our dogs better than they do.
Wow what an amazing place you get to hike!!! Absolutely beautiful.
I am always a bit leery of taking things to heart that I hear from other competitors at a dog show, at least in conformation. I seem to have this thought that of course they would want me to take their advice, it might really help them if I do.
This is funny to me, because my dog is heavier than I want right now, and when I sent a picture to his breeders (both conformation people) they both said he was at a great weight! I was looking at him from a sport perspective, thinking “dude, you’re getting chonky.”I don’t know if you can really tell from these pictures, but Remy has some big ole thighs.
