Hello all! About a year ago I got my first doberman, a 12 week old european dobe we named Leah. She's now a just shy of 1.5 years old and about 65 lbs and still filling out (we had slower growth due to some serious digestive issues). I'm interested in learning more about doberman confirmation, and I've done research and looked at different pictures, but in my experience (with equine confirmation!) there is no substitute for having experienced eyes point things out to you. I'm hoping that a few doberman lovers with experience in confirmation will be willing to take a look at Leah and tell me what her strong/weak points might be! I have a few guesses (masculine head? slightly loose lips?) but I'd love input. She's spayed so this isn't related to breeding and I'm not sure if I'll ever have the opportunity to show her since we live in the middle of nowhere in Wyoming, but it's always fun to learn more about your dog. Also feel free to share any great confirmation resources I may have missed. Hope you'll chime in! (Sorry about the stack, but we haven't worked on that at all so I just snapped the pic when she was standing like that naturally. I can try to get a few more photos like a head shot with her mouth closed, and if I do I will upload them!)
