Everyone can uncross their fingers now. She got her V on Sunday, just a day after her KKL1...so she had quite the weekend. They don't do those together in Germany like they do in the US. She really must've shown well b/c the judge who ended up judging the show on Sunday is strictly a "black and red" conformation judge, not a Koermeister, so we were a bit worried, but even out of coat, with a show judge, surrounded by VA dogs, she got a V. Whew!
She'll be heading out on Thursday. I'm moving this week, so pics might take me a few days, but I'll try and take a few before she gets too pregnant-looking.
After a hell of a day (topped off with a flat tire on my brand new car at the Lufthansa cargo area and 2 hours in NTB's waiting area), Capri is safe at home! Poor dog spent 8.5hrs airborne, 2 in cargo, 1 in the car, 2 in NTB's waiting room while I got a new tire, and through all of it, she was almost angelic.
What a phenomenally stable dog she is. There was a showline dog at cargo also, and the guy who worked there asked me why my dog wasn't "schizo like all the other German Shepherds." LOL. She was curious, friendly, and appeared totally unaffected by her travels. She rode home loose in the backseat and went from one window to the next so she wouldn't miss anything.
Everyone we encountered asked about her and I had to tell them I'd only known her 2 hours and they were totally shocked. I couldn't be happier with her; she's even better than I was promised in both temperament and looks. She almost looks masculine; she has a very nice head and very thick bone for a female. She looks a lot more than 25% DDR, IMO. Now all I have to do is hope she's bred! I feel like a little kid w/my new dog.
She is pretty, but she could be mistaken for a male. These pics don't really show it very well; she's pretty thick, and her head is kind of wide for a female (not that I'm complaining!)
I really like her pigment; her brown is very rich and red (again, it doesn't show w/my cell camera) and she has a lot of black on her legs- penciling on her toes and solid black running up the backs of both rear legs. I am betting she carries the solid black gene, not just b/c of her coloring, but b/c her sire's littermate is solid black.
