I would like to upload photos of both my babies, they are 13 weeks... I need to get better pictures, but would it be okay? I'd love to heard what you all have to say about them

It could be a genetic fault like a kink tail. If it's a kink in the tail it's a fault and a genetic trait. Better pictures would help

Could you do mine? I know he's a bit overweight, but we're working on it

Here's a better on of my "ugly duckling" for you to pick at

His chest dropped a bit more so he doesn't look so shallow anymore and he's got a tad more forechest then he did was a young dog

This is probably not the best pic but his back feet aren't spread so far out like the first pic so I thought it might give a better look at his top line and you can actually see his feet since he's not on grass

some of my pics make him look like he's got super week pasterns too but I don't think their all that bad.

Tail set a little high and I can't really see the back end well but I don't see any major faults, pretty dog. Maybe a tad long in the back, but I like dogs just a little longer.

Other than him being really tall he is a great looking dog. Even though he is a big boy he is proportionate so he still meets the standard. and I'm a little bias I love Dosia! lol

I need a better picture. I don't see weak pasterns but again I need a better picture. The dog is straight in the rear and the shoulders in this picture look horrible! I think it's just this picture but to me they look terribly straight with a lack of forechest. So a few more pictures standing would help. thanks Just looked again and it looks like lack of upper are length and high tail set. UKC bred dogs can have a lot of Amstaff and that could be where the upper arms come into play. AMstaffs lack length of upper arm many times, along with flat toplines and high tail sets.

Krystal Dosia is awesome his structure is great. I would bet given the chance he would be an ADBA champion. Really love this guy.

My ADBA female died 2 years ago, I was showing her, she was doing well. This is my first UKC reg pit. So really I'm new with this standard.

Those are better pictures his front doesn't look so bad just a little straight. His rear end is hard to tell it looks different in every picture if she thinks he could use more angulation then he probably is a little straight. in UKC it depends what the judge likes and who you are competing against. Personally even for a UKC bred dog I think his legs are too short compared to his body and that makes him looks longer in the back with stubby legs. Could be the angle of the picture though. What I think is that you show him in UKC and ask what the judges think. I am more of an ADBA person but I do have dogs that are dual CH UKC/ABDA. I have judges in UKC hate or love my dogs so my advice is go out, have fun and see what happens!

I think she is very pretty but does not have great breed type if I lok at ADBA standard but again this is JMO. Too rangy in the legs, shallow chest, straight shoulders, no forechest, lack of underjaw. This is just compared to the standard and that picture is not flattering she is over extended. But with that said as a dog she is stunning! I love her head! She looks more like a Dogo which had Pyrenees in the breed.

Aw thanks you guys

He's a fun dog, I love him to death ❤ LOL Lisa Holly and I were talking about how friggin leggy he is XD but he's long as crap too so he balances out pretty well.
