find him more eye-catching right now.

Nice substance. Well balanced. A bit long in the loin. Nice tail set. Very correct hindleg angulation.
Topline dip is due to the front legs posting and pup being uncooperative. Nice length of upper
arm. Good height to length proportion. Nice stop to head. Head planes and ears are appropriate
for age. Appropriate length of neck. Excellent pigmentation.
