Oh I don't think so Shona, I only did this one because of our recent chat, not qualified to judge the breed so will not be doing any others, also not good at judging from photos but this truly does look a good example although I find it difficult to judge puppies of a breed I have never owned although I have always admired it.

Shona, have taken a look at the other Rotties on this section and will make one comment, they seem to be stood with the front legs so the feet are forward of the elbow, this messes up the top line and gives the impression that the dog is not of the correct proportion and the pasterns are slack. It may well be a 'fashion' in the breed and judges are used to making allowance for it but for an outsider it is a distraction. There is one of Caesar standing as I would like to see, there may be others that I have forgotten. Sorry to make a serious point and wonder what you think?
