Adrian Marshall "Tito"

My puppy, tito is 5 months old, and I want some criticism on him we are training for the show next year, a bit early I know but its kinda ok

What a handsome fella x

I'm not really an expert, but he looks good to me! When he gets bigger it will be easier to tell for me. I like him so far!

Lovely looking lad

Hard to judge as he's so young but if you want my absolute honest opinion he does look a bit scrawny and his nose is too long. Very 'terrier' type. Of course he could mature beautifully in another 5 months and completely prove me wrong.

Moo is a rescue and yours looks a really love Not much help lol

by scrawny you mean unhealthy? or thin? his weight is 15kg and he is only 5 months, I think its more than normal, and maybe the picture is lying a bit. Thanks by the way

As I said its hard to judge him so young but he is very thin yeah. I've seen a lot of show pups that already have good muscle tone at that age. But of course all dogs mature at different rates. You asked for criticism so I'm giving it. He's only a baby at the moment anyway.

Very handsome boy

Hope Tito goes well.

A good looking boy and best of luck

He is a gorgeous lookin lad ... and will be a very good example, tho I would say he might be a bit leggy, and on the tall side for the show standard , which is kinda what Shakespearesdog said I think (??)

TBH, I preffer that look as long as there is a lot of muscle with the height, more pit looking if ya know what I mean, but I went to the show of champions last year, and I have to say, the taller, leaner examples seem to stand out like a saw thumb, and seemed to be surrounded by the short, very compact "standard" dogs that seemed to be the ones doing well.

Max was about the same build and weight at that age, and is exactly what I wanted in a staff, but he is now around 18-19" and 20odd kilo's at 18mths old, making him too tall, too heavy, and generally too big all round for the show ring, but then, that was never my intension for him

He is a handsome looking lad, thanks for sharing pics.

I don't know anything about showing dogs, but Tito looks lovely to me.

My Winston is nearly a year old ( amazing..man that has gone quickly ! ) and he is pretty lean himself..because he never sits still... there is not an ounce of fat on him....at 5 months Tito is still very young.

He is absolutely gorgeous

nd will be a very good example, tho I would say he might be a bit leggy, and on the tall side for the show standard , which is kinda what Shakespearesdog said I think (??)

Yeah that is what I meant As you said most show dogs are very compact. Nothing wrong with either type, or my boy whose a bulldog throwback lol. Its just what they prefer in the show world. But a lot of show dogs I have seen look fully mature at six months or so, wrong or right its just what I've noticed.

Well sorry but I don't know much about show ring only what I like and don't like and like Tito he's gorgeous!!
